I can see the images now. I found the Filper Beta 200, but I was beaten to the post.

:wall:
Den,
As you "WOOD" have won, I'd like you to accept this:

I think I need a new blade in the fretsaw. :agree:

No borers in that wood, it's heat-treated.
I've decided that you can't pass on the silver that you won, you could get sued for that, it's an infringement of your rights.
So here it is, in all its new glory, fashioned by one with better artistic skill than I have, though it doesn't have the usual ©:

Awe :$ for me?
Well you shouldn't have.. 8) .... saved it as a jpeg.! :wall: It's supposed to be a (dot) png so the background is transparent for better POP effect.. .. what am I going to do with you, Michael.. :doh: ....I mean Really.....

:lol: :poke:

uhh ohh. :worried: Cat's out of the bag now...


Gents.
I made up some new awards for Mike to give, to you,
for all the hard work you put in finding the correct answer to Mike's queries.
Since this is going to be Mike's "thing". I thought he deserved a little help. And it really was just a little help. I just nicked some public domain stuff. The gift boxes I altered the color and size. The chenille pins or airman badges I bent up and tweaked using various android phone apps.

So without further ado...
I present the new award pins and embroidered badge.


















Drum roll







Trumpet... TA DAAA!














Ben for You. and the all the other patch recipients

For the silver award winners
In a gauche red gift box

And to Pete. Thee only Gold Metal recipient
In a Royal-ish Blue gift box
Image

..I rather like the Caterpillar award. So I'll leave it as it is.
And Mike's gif of shooting down the wrong answers...
Primarily because Mike shoots too early and almost gets kilt by the crashing plane.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
You still move pretty damn quick for 74 ..Oo er old ;) :thumbsup:

PS
right click over the image
Save as:
PNG

Although.. it could be your site doesn't recognize. png files.
In that case,.. We can remedy that using another method., blood.

*-) odd..
Just wondering.. why did your post show the black background?

OK , so just by the by.
I use an app called ultimate background eraser to create the png file.
If I use Photo Editor to make adjustments to the picture in png format a background will be applied to the picture
( dunno why, it just does).

I have Photoshop Express and Photoshop Lr both will keep the transparent intact.

:dunno:.. doesn't matter really... .

A few things, Joe:
I didn't mean to doubt your religious Faith.
I used it to query your trust in my actions. Turns out that your lack of faith in me is clearly justified, as the posted image is indeed .jpeg :dunno: **

WHY?
The two images were copied and saved to my computer as .pngs.
They were inserted into the Picture Gallery as .pngs. as shown in the screen shot.
When I right click on the images after posting, Image Information tells me that they are .jpeg :wall:
I checked my Tools/Image Export Manager and made sure that the default export is resampled .png at best quality.
They arrive here as .jpegs :dunno: **
btw I use Cut Out Studio, (a Serif product) which is part of my website builder's software, to make transparent parts.

Still waiting for others to vote on whether this should be a moving feast or not, we only have your input so far.
You posted recently that this is my "legacy" *-) :worried: :worried: Have you been secretly talking to my doctors?
