Make that extra ??s.
The plot thickens... and becomes less relevant. So please feel free to stop reading.
Now that I look again on a proper computer display, there is nothing to see. But when viewing the same picture on my phone, as earlier today, I expand the image and pan around to see detail on the relatively smaller display. In that case whatever drives the display in my phone does a remarkably good job of smoothing the expanded pixels to make the over-zoomed image look less pixel-y without making it look obviously smoothed. Except for the few red objects (bag, hose, outlet cover). It went the other way on the red parts and rendered them with larger-than-pixel red squares. I've not seen that before. See attached part of a screenshot of what I assumed would look the same for everyone. Well, that's excessively magnified, but the effect was "wrong" enough at normal resolution to make me look closer.
Now back to regularly scheduled programming, which is less about red.
(oh yeah, and a diary entry to read...)

Dreadful dilemma! There must be a better way...

Sorry Checkie but I marvel at such workmanship you see. Mind you nearly fell of my ruddy stool when today's pic of the day came up

Re: Pic of the Day
You're quite right with the caption of today's pic. It is extremely hard to believe that is Donald's original fuel filter. Over 30 years in the bottom of a lake, & you manage to make look like a brand new, fresh out of it's box part! Every time I see something like this, I'm newly dumbfounded by the work you guys are doing

I remember taking the lid off the filter body to see what was inside and saying something like, 'Oooooh!'.
It really had survived very well but it was almost completely immersed in clean fuel, which is itself quite amazing.

Amazing survival (Fuel filter pic of the day). Is that the original 'O' ring too? Proper industrial archaeology.
The O ring on my bathroom sink plug fails every 12 months, I wish I could find one that will last 50 years.
