Recommend using the camera on your phone. Much easier to deal with, most take excellent photos and easy to upload.

Wish you were closer, I moved to Florida 13 years ago to run a facility and ended up staying after retirement..... Born and lived in Oregon till I was 57... Left all my car buddies there I grew up with......
