GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Well I knew this was coming! So my wife (who also works for the Government) both showed up to work this morning. We will be signing out Furlough Papers and going home! At least I can repaint my trailer hitch!

Oh and by the way.... YIPPPPPPPEEEEE!!!

Shhhhhh, You're supposed to be SUFFERING! Not to mention that the NSA is not being furloughed.

It would be too easy to add comments that would have this thread moved to the political asylum, so I'll take a more upbeat spin

Congratulations on being financially sound enough that having unpaid time off is a good thing. Enjoy the time off!

I am 5 min away from painting my hitch and roof rails that came from a yard in Wisconsin! I am psyched!

Unpaid time off? Think of it as comp time to post projects to GenVibe!

You will get back pay... to further accessorize your Vibe

You should see how nicely I sprayed my new hitch and used roof rails! Primo quality spray job! I can't post on here because I don know how to save my large picture to make it smaller to post on here

Reduce your digital cameras' resolution to "s" or 640X480. At least that is what I do with my Canon A530. Some Photoshop type programs can also adjust picture resolution down on existing photos.

Will try later after I finish up in the garage

Ps the vibe is in the shop getting work done can't wait to get it back!! Details to follow tomorrow

Never quite understood the logic of that.

Ok need to put pictures on a new forum, I can't attach anything to here because I am getting the "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached." message. Will put on Exterior forum

Try a service such as Photobucket. That's how I post pictures to the forum.

Yeah.... but might just throw it up on Facebook

Oops, Sorry I forgot to add that I have my pictures on a Photobucket Acct. in the "open to public" gallery! Then just use the GenVibe "img" post function and insert the pictures' "direct link" url.

I can't embed pictures, they just don't work for me

I was confused. The current shut down is because there is no fiscal year budget appropriation 10/1/13 to 9/30/14. The money is there - they just can't spend it on programs that require approval. The next issue is the debt ceiling. At that point the money is not here. That is the more serious problem. There is plenty of blame to go around to both parties and to Obama.

Try using the img link instead of the direct or html. Also, when you upload to photobucket, set the file size to smaller than 1024.



Works pretty well for me.... Oh yeah, enjoy the time off!
