Hello from Cow Town Alberta
« on: March 30, 2011, 06:45:02 PM »
Good afternoon all.....I am not new to the nest, kind of anyways. Although I don't own an Eagle, Concord, SX-4.....I do however own two J-10's and one recently went to Truck Heaven. I am intrigued by all your information that is very informative. I have learnt a lot in the past few months of reading and exploring the pages in this site.

 :hello2: - Two thumbs up to all the AMC owners. So many varieties on here it is nice to see! I got to know AMC's through my other half. He rescued me in his eagle from work on roads that almost impassible, but that 4x4 Eagle made it through, that changed my mind towards his car.

I am a natural "Chevy" girl but have recently taken a liking to the J-10 Trucks. All together we own 6.

I will be posting pictures of our trucks and just wanted to say hi

From sort a  :newbie: to you more experienced AMCers

About time you formally introduced yourself, although many of us knew who you were already.  ;D

I like how you didn't say "better half"... 'cause between you and Duane, you're the better half of that combo.  ;)

Welcome!
I don't have an eagle either hah.. Although I do have 3 GM's and a Dodge.. lol
I wanted one, but all the ones around here are rotted or way overpriced so that's on hold.
I like the J10 pickups too. Let's see pictures!

'Bout time you got on here.  We've mentioned it enough during the meetings.

This is where I love to come for Eagle info (or I phone Dean).

Speaking of pictures -
Most of us use free Photobucket accounts.
 www.photobucket.com
We recommend clicky pics.  This is a thumbnail picture that enlarges when clicked.
Photobucket has made a change in the way you copy the code.
Here is the way it looks to me:
For a single clicky pic, hover over the picture.  This will open a drop down menu.  Click on the fourth window, img.
It will then say "copied".
Go to the thread where you want to put the picture and paste it in.
For multiple clicky pics, hover over the pictures and click on the small box at the bottom of the picture.
Scroll down and click on "Choose action".  Click "Generate code for selected".
This will open another page.  Click on the third box, "IMG for bulletin boards & forums".  It will say "copied".  Paste it into the thread of your choice. 
In both instances you can select "Preview" to make sure it is what you want before you post it.
I'm right 98% of the time, and I don't care about the other 3%.
"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people;
that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
--Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:45
What part of "shall not be infringed" do they not understand?

Don't know for sure, Schedules are really  ??? lately, trying to make summer plans. I know we are away in July that is for sure and November to somewhere warm  ;)

When is this meet planned for? If we are around we can try to make it, will talk to D and see what he wants to do.

What part of Calgary were you raised in?
