I live in the great Puget sound state of Washington and the good old US of a. Trying to figure out how to put a picture up here but don't really know how to do that yet. Soon as I could figure that out I will definitely put up some pics. I appreciate you reaching out and asking me where I'm at. jack

Go to the home page of the forum. There is a section on How to use the Forum. There is a sticky in that section of How to Post Photos.
