Saint Lactose The Tolerant
Paint.Net ... Free Download ... Foto cleanup and Modification
GLAD i got that outta the way ... i never know how folks are gonna react when i post a recent foto of myself ... got by pretty
smoove at the recent swaps .. MLC and AA .. but then i was wearin' my prosthetic face .. anyhow .. i do appreciate the social
sensitivity of the large number of the people there AND those on The CABE .. who not once blurted out something hurtful like,
"How many Sicilians does it take to change a lightbulb ... Holy Crap ... WOW .. didja ya see that guy's face ??!"
LOOK .. LET'S BE HONEST HERE ... i been using a computer since 2007 .. with tela-fone help from PAUL GENARO and SCOTT
McCASKEY .. and i am pretty-much at peace with the "apps" i learned how to do .. although i never computed anything on the
device .. i've found that it is pretty useful when surfer-ing e-b or postalling an e-mail. One of these days i will learn how to cut
and paste .. or .. post a numerical and lettergical link that can take readers to far-off places to see someone else's bicycles ...
as tho' i don't already have enough bicycles of my own to stare at. Readers ... we have reached that point where it's too late
to make a long story - short. But i am not one to give up easily .. so i'll keep typing quickly .. and we'll see if that don't speed
up this would-be diatribe .. but .. i'm countin' on you to do your fair share ... PLEASE READ QUICKLY.
WHEN i WAS WRITING for Classic Bicycle News .. The Soul Searchers column .. i hired my daughter-in-law to take badge pics
for me and photo-shop them as needed .. and i would donate a substantial amount of $$$ to her. Two and a half years into the
typing .. she says, "patric, you could buy a decent, new, 15 pixel-something, digital-camera for what you are payin' me per
issue ... and i could show ya how to use it !!" So, i bought an auto-camera .. 15 pixels .. with manual features if desired.
LEARNING TO USE THAT CAMERA ... (and believe me .. i have very-basic skills) .. was tedious .. time consuming .. repetitive ...
.. frustrating and habitual .. 'cause the fotos just didn't seem to be what i intended. NOT TO WORRY, FOLKS - my OCD requires
that i be medicated ... but, you can barely tell that i am just 20 milli-grams of medication away from a major episode ... can we
still be honest ?? O-KAY .. back in the Summer of 1970 .. my Wife used to give me the third degree .. "Say, patric .. did you
lock the front door ??!" .... "So .. you are SURE you locked it, huh ?" My life has been different ever since.
SO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW tells me about Paint.Net ... he said, "It's the one ap that is made for someone with great determination ..
someone who does not know the meaning of the word, "quit" .. just the thing for those folks who treasure the blessing of 'attention
to detail' ... ." So i says ... "Say, Walt ... what about those blessed with OCD ??!" "......... PERFECT .. patric !!"
THE EXPERIENCE i have with Paint.Net goes back maybe a year and a half ... here it is recently applied to a foto of SCOTT McCASKEY
at the 2013 AA Meet ... SCOTT appeared to be very fond of my WWI, child's, American Army Helmet ... as he wore it for the duration
of the event. As more than a few folks in the hobby refer to him as Commander Colson ... he was destined to receive a portrait of
sorts, in his attire at the meet ... he even won two BIG PRIZES for his entries ... maybe he will tell all of us the particulars, one day.
PAUL KLEPPERT ... one of the hosts of the AA Event .. got a foto of SCOTT being given an award ... even tho' the helmet was being
worn ... it was neatly 'cropped-out' of the pic .... by Paul K's trick fotography. A sad moment for helmet lovers, everywhere.
I WILL POST a few more Paint.Net modifications in the next few days .................... patric cafaro
