Montana
I have been playing around with my MacBook slideshow program today. There are a couple of ways to create slideshows and I figured out the simple method first. I will move forward to using the more complicated program later.
This is all leading up to me using the many still shots I have of my projects and using voice-over narration to share the construction details.
For now I have assembled a slideshow of the beautiful area that I live. If images from the movie “A River Runs Through It” come to mind when you think of Montana, well, that is pretty accurate.
In this slide show you can see one of the things that I enjoy the most, that is spending time outdoors with my wife Rita and my dogs, Cookie and Bella.
Enjoy-
Peace, Love, & Woodworking

Thanks Todd.
That’s why I live in Montana too. Quite diverse country from east to west.
Take care, Hutch

You could tell alot about woodworking with just pictures and a voiceover track rather than video in one static place. A great slide show with VO can often tell more about things than video…try it.

Todd, I thought I lived in Gods country here in Indiana but I can see by that wonderful slideshow I’m a long way from it. You live in one of our countries most beautiful places. Now I can see the reason why you were so homesick when you were working in Ohio for so long, your lovely wife, the dogs, and that country!

Thanks for the slideshow, Todd. You do live in a wonderful area. Too often we fail to take advantage of Nature’s bounty because of life’s daily grind. I am glad to see that you and your wife take some time off and simply enjoy yourselves.

Yep, it’s nice, I live in ND, and have been through the area several times on my way to Idaho, which is a state that I really luv.
