Finally found a functional card reader and got some photos into Photobucket... Need to get a different way to do this whole thing as Photobucket has made it abundantly clear they do not want my photos on their site. I would dearly love to have back a small fraction of my life wasted in sheer garbage perpetuated by those "undesirable people"...
On the way to look for the source of the noise I found a clue right off the edge of the deck...
