Zach I am photographer and flyfisherman I live down in Ooltewah. Aperture is a cool program but it really needs to be run on a powerful desktop machine. Adobe has just come out with a public beta on a program called LIGHTROOM its similar to Aperture but its free in the Beta form now. I shoot mostly heavy commercial and Advertising stuff using a 22 Megapixel camera back but I use Lightroom with my Nikon Digital camera and I have couple of freinds that are using it with Canon cameras. You can download it free from Adobe/Macromedia. I t only runs on the Mac now but a PC Version is in the works. Try it out it works really well and probably will be less expensive than Aperture when the final release is issued. Nice pictures by the way.
How do you like the Scott G2? What it like?
Thanks,
David King::) Zach, The rack turned out very well. You have a career as a cabinet maker should you decide not to practice law.
:'( You guys certainly know how to hurt a guy. I wish my wife wasn’t so practical and not wanting a extra cars’s insurance. I’m drooling. I’m going to have to talk to the “Sec. of the Treasury” aka “The Bride” Silver Doc
:'( Good question. I was promised a “fishing car” by someone whose life I helped. Well, the gentleman was filled with good intentions. He called and told my wife that he had the perfect car for the Doc, a Cadillac. We were very kind in our refusal and told this kind man that it was ok and that he could do us another favour if we needed one. So, I’m still driving my Lexus as my fishing car. I’ve covered the drivers seat with a water- proof seat cover and take off my waders and boots before I get in. The trunk is another story. Can’t carry groceries or anything else bigger than a fly box. I’m eyeing my wifes Jeep and I may have to trade at some point. Thought about my daughter’s 23 year old learner VW that sat in the driveway. She wouldn’t let us get rid of it until she moved to CA. Had to pay to have it towed away. I guess I’m just not destined to have a fishing car. :-[ Silver Doc
Thinskin is a photolith( I think) on a clear backing- one interesting twist is to get foam with an edhesive backing( craft store) and

Have you looked at some of the indepent resizing options?- built in PS/Etc resizing /resampling
😉 Pretty neat Zach. What kind of wood are you using? A draw under the lower part of the rack would be nice. Silver Doc
I’ve had some great guides and some bad ones, as have all of you. The guide that I thought was the most dangerous was one who led us on a trect that was the equal of an Everest climb. He took us to a “secret” spot. Ah Ha! the river looked about 1/2 inch wide. The climb down was was almost perpendicular and the slope was covered with ice and snow. If you slipped it would have been diasterous since there was little to break the slide. The out side temp. 28 and the water temp34. The worst was yet to come when my buddy went through the ice on the strem and it was hard to get hin out. The nexttrial took plce climbing back up the hill. It was better than any cardiac stress test. Never again. A trip that a mountain climber would have enjoyed.
🙂 Type III and I’m lucky to have 2 shops like that in my area. Flyfishers Paradise in State College and Spruce Creek Fly Co. in Franklinville. They know your name, nice stock, no hard sell and the best advice when asked. They also have good fly tying classes. The giants of fly fishing can be encounterd at times. It’s a pleasure to go there even for a visit, but usually I wind up buying something. Silver Doc
Hi Zach, doesn’t appear to work. (although , again, my computer skills are lacking.) I have Itinerant angler as an approved website, still no luck.
😀 I have to laugh at the idea of your laptop burning up in class. (no sarcasam intended) In the “old days” when I was a student the only device we were allowed in class, besides pen, pencil and note book, was our slide rules. That was our computer/calculator. I still have mine that was passed doen to me by my Dad. It’s amazing the calculations you could do on it. There.s a picture of Enrico Fermi who was a physicist with one in his hand. That did help build the A bomb. Sorry for the nostalgia, but I could have used a laptop in those days. Silver Doc
🙂 My Dad and Uncle, who taught me the joys of hunting, fishing and the art of being honest. honest to others and to yourself. They are also gone along time ago, but the leesons are still fresh. I taught the same lessons to my children and hope that the lessons have stuck. It remains to be seen. Thanks, Silver Doc
