    Yeah, pretty happy with that one. Pano taken just before ended up awesome as well. I really need to get a print of one of these panos.

    Had to edit one of the individual pictures out of that series too after seeing how it turned out.

    And a few more half-ass edited pictures.

    Correct. Using the stitch function in Lightroom 6.

    Makes for awesome pictures, just wish you could see it better on a computer monitor. Full screen on Flickr works a little better than the forum.

    Yeah thankfully because of work I use LR CC and PS CC on the daily. Used to stitch stuff together for work all the time in Photoshop, but they were scanned images usually. Really only been dealing with photo editing for fun for a short time but I used to design websites and banner ads back in the day. Now I do all the coding, and let the designers deal with that crap. :p

    And how does your truck look with the topper?

    I agree, looks like something's missing, should get resolved soon.

    We'll need at least one picture when you take it out.

    Also, not in any hurry right now, but did you get those seal kits?

    I kinda miss that grill, color of the bumper - not so much.


    Did the daily driver version 2.0 mod yesterday.

    Hell yeah. Keep me posted. I'll buy the beer and we can hang. We were thinking of running up Sunlight Basin on Sunday. Looks gorgeous back there with the snow right now. Just simple dirt roads and Im sure Snow will keep us from going far. But its freaking gorgeous back there.

    Or we can go up East Rose Bud for just a campfire on Saturday. Whatever works. Let me know!

    I'll let you know.

    If it does happen, I'll probably pick it up Friday, would have all day Saturday, and then would need to head back on Sunday.
