I got this 17'' iMac G4 for £29.00 on ebay at that price I just had to have it.
I've upgraded the ram to 1GB and I've also added a faster 80GB Hard drive. I did add a 120GB, but it refused to work in the iMac despite working fine in my Power Mac G4 tower.

A spare Patrouille de France Alphajet sitting in the West Point 2nd Aviation Detachment hangar at Stewart International Airport.
Niccy and I just got back from a transatlantic cruise so I've finally got some shots to post!
Here you see:
2 Veterinarians
2 Microbiologists
1 WOC RN
Out of the shot is myself, a self styled Jack of All Trades and pretty good music guesser. Did you know that the original band that did the song "Venus" was named Shocking Blue? I did.
Why the heck couldn't we win at Trivia???
This was our trivia team on the cruise. We thought we had the bases pretty well covered when it came to questions that you will only hear if you attend a pub quiz or a trivia session but Nay Nay. It seems like we came up on the short end of the stick every time, always by one or two questions.
One of the great things about cruising is the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and experiences, make a connection with them and have a great time while doing so. All the folks in this shot (Carol, Barb, Niccy, Mike, Marie, and myself are the best of the best and we (NIccy and I) are looking forward to seeing them all in the future!
A Passion Play of sorts I suppose...
For those who didn't choose to be out in the sun and fun there was only one other place to be on sea days and that was the pub.
Now these "floating gin joints" aka cruise ships are loaded with bars of all types from piano bars to swim up pool bars to watch the game pubs which is where I got this shot.
This particular establishment is called Brodies and according to Niccy it's a pretty close approximation of a standard pub. Beer on tap, nibbles on the table and football on the screen. Nothing fancy, just the basics.
Brodies was usually a pretty busy place, especially when there was football (soccer) going on which was all the time. I'm not sure who was playing at the time I got this but they must've been minor league since everyone was pretty sedate and civil. You could tell when the big leaguers were playing, the place would be standing room only and extremely loud, especially when a goal was scored.
From what I saw the football fans in the UK were/are just as rabid as the US football fans are when it came to supporting their team. I personally don't get it but for those of you who watch you'll certainly know what I mean.
PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
The Fun Police, they're coming for me!
After seeing my last shot:

You might think the folks in the UK were'nt down for a party. Oh, how wrong you would be mon frère....
All it took to get the party started was for the guests on deck to have a little conversation with their friends....like Jose Cuervo, Johnny Walker, The Wild Turkey, and of course The Beefeater. After conferring with them these folks decided to break loose and show the world that the UK really is a party place.
Ok, so party time for them means photo time for me. As I was scanning the crowd, hoping to catch someone in some sort of a situation I found myself to be the center of attention. This young lady from the entertainment crew decided to call me out with a pointed finger and an unhappy look for not participating in the festivities. Myself, being the older and wiser decided this was the shot I was looking for and took it. I suppose that's one of the good things that come with age, you can do whatever you want and not worry about the consequences!
Niccy and I just got back from a 2 week cruise down in the Caribbean, a trip that was supposed to be in the UK but thanks to the whole covid fiasco that was not meant to be. We were on the P&O Britannia and as we quickly found out we were the only Americans aboard! We had a good time, got to see some new ports and enjoyed the weather.

As I type this I'm in negotiations with Niccy about purchasing this place but she's being stubborn and saying NO! I don't understand why.
I've got a great argument for buying with some salient points but she refuses to believe that it would be advantageous for me to sit on the balcony in my underwear with a 600mm (or more) lens, drinking margaritas and shooting ship shots all day.
Yes, I've pointed out that Walmart and Sam's Club are just a quick boat ride across the bay and there's a really nice pool so there's no need to get in the ocean (where fish pee) when you want to swim.
I told her there's a private elevator so no need to share air with the commoners and it's gated so no worries about burglars getting in and stealing my 600mm (or more) lens. Yet she still says NO! I don't understand why.
Let me tell you, it gets DAMN HOT in St. George Utah!
Yes, you read the title right, it's the end of the road (for now at least). We were in St. George Utah when our rooftop AC decided that 100° F outside wasn't quite hot enough and decided to start pumping out hot air! When the temp inside the van was reading 115°F we decided that we needed to rethink our plan and make some modifications.
What this means is that we're currently back in Tucson for a couple of months. The plan is to take the van into the dealer and have some warranty work done to get everything shipshape. Once that's completed we'll probably take a short trip over to San Diego to see our friends Mike and Marie for a day or two, make sure EVERYTHING is working right. Come back to Tucson and hang out till September and then hit the road again. We're going to try and make North Carolina to see Rod and Danielle for a few days then make a beeline down to Georgia to see our friends Carole and Barb. Hang out with them for a few days then head back home along the Gulf Coast.
We've come to the realization that it's just too warm in June, July, and August to be traveling around in a big metal box that's something like a solar oven on wheels. We're lucky that we have the flexibility to come and go as we see fit, I feel bad for those folks who are stuck having only the Summer months to try and get away.
So, last picture from the road (for now) but don't worry. I've got a ton of ship shots from our Panama Canal cruise that I'll be posting, along with any lightning shots I might get. The monsoon season is just around the corner for AZ!
The Best-Laid Schemes of Mice and Women....
We've been to Grenada before and we had one thing there that we wanted to do that we hadn't been able to do before.
We'd seen the Grenada Discovery Train on several YouTube videos and it looked like a lot of fun to us. The train takes you to some places that most tourists don't get to see, especially if you're less than mobile. Grenada is fairly hilly and not the friendliest walking place.
On our previous trips the train had not been running but on this stop it was and we excitedly bought our tickets, ready to go on our train adventure. We told the folks at the ticket booth that we'd tried twice before but had been shot down, they said "No worries, it's up and running today". Finally, we'd get our trip.
We were booked on the 12:30 trip and it was about 12:00 when we saw the young lady from the ticket booth walking our way. We thought she was going to tell us that the train was coming so we should get in line but alas, it was not meant to be.
She told us that the train had developed a small oil leak and because of the oil and wet city streets they were unable to make it up the hills so once again our train trip slipped (literally) from our grasp. We almost felt bad for the young lady, she was so apologetic and you can see she really didn't want to be the bearer of the news. We said it's not a problem for us, we'll be back again on another trip and we'd catch it then. She walked back with us to the ticket booth and refunded our tickets, a refund we really didn't want but accepted.
As we left we saw the train sitting on a side road so Niccy decided to pose for a shot and show her displeasure!
As a side note we didn't know that they were collecting to help out some of the less fortunate on the island during the holidays. Had we known we would've gave them our ticket price as a donation.

I didn't plan on posting this shot, then I read the signs...
I took this shot purely as a marker of sorts so that when I got back home I'd remember the name of the lake when I posted shots. Truly off the cuff, focus and fire sort of thing.
Once I got home and started looking through pictures I came across it and realized that it had significant cultural and historical value and so I've posted it here for you.
If you should happen to go to Watson Lake and get sick or possibly die don't say you weren't warned more than once!

The Marshall....The Old West version of a Superhero!
If you saw the previous picture then you know that those crazy cowboys in the Wild West Show were up to no good with a crooked game of poker. Well, there was only one way to keep things on the straight and narrow in the Old West and that was with The Marshall. He's the one who always kept the peace in the town and today was no different. He plugged 4 of the baddest hombres this side of the Pecos with his lightning quick draw (and some great stuntman skills)!
While on the trip to the Grand Canyon I had an opportunity to talk with the Marshall for about 20 minutes (union break?) and found out he actually is a pretty interesting guy.
He goes by the nickname Dutch since he's an immigrant to the US from the Netherlands. He's a widower who has a 120 acre ranch that he runs by himself and he takes in abused and neglected wild mustangs. He told me he speaks 9 different languages which help him talk to tourists when he's playing the Marshall, something he's done for 9 years. He knows the Canyon real well and gave me a tip on where to get a shot that most people don't even notice.
When his break was over he said "Well, I've got to get inside and explain to those kids why those cowboys got back up after I shot them down". I said to him "They all play video games, just tell them that they respawned. They'll know what you mean". A tip of his hat and he was off.
For me, that was one of the best parts of this trip, getting to make a connection and learn a little bit about Dutch, the Marshall on the Grand Canyon Railway.
So it's taken two days to totally gut my room (that's how much stuff I have LOL) and now finally its down to a bare minimum. With the emptying complete the ceiling can be painted tomorrow :D. Thought I'd do a quick self portrait of myself in my very empty room.
The marks on the walls are sandpaper marks from where I've had to remove them annoying double sided sticky pads LOL.
Will post shots when done

Einweihung: 23. Juli 2011
Being by the ocean always puts a smile on her face!
As we were walking to board the ship Niccy stopped for a moment and I fired off a quick shot. Being by the ocean always makes her happy, especially since she grew up on the beaches of Durban. I've always thought it was good for a person to get a little Vitamin Sea, and this is the result!
Niccy and I just got back from a 2 week cruise down in the Caribbean, a trip that was supposed to be in the UK but thanks to the whole covid fiasco that was not meant to be. We were on the P&O Britannia and as we quickly found out we were the only Americans aboard! We had a good time, got to see some new ports and enjoyed the weather.

I don't believe so. Just give him a wave and maybe he'll go away.
As I said previously people were starting to loosen up and getting in the party mood. Everyone was having a good time when I saw these folks.
I have no idea who they are or who they were waving at. I seriously doubt it was me since a person pointing a camera at someone hardly ever brings a wave, more like a shaking fist. No matter, I took the shot and it came out not half bad. I did have to do a non-standard crop on this to get rid of some distracting fluff in the background, one of those things you deal with when you're out in public.

I've seen her before, guess this is a regular stop?
The VEGA SCORPIO (IMO: 9491599) is a Container Ship and is sailing under the flag of Cyprus. Her length overall (LOA) is 139.26 meters and her width is 22.6 meters.
As I've said above we've seen the Vega Scorpio in several different ports throughout the Caribbean. In this shot she was pretty close to loaded and getting ready to make way for some distant place....
Now that I look at this I suppose you could call this a study of angles?

It's actually pretty easy for these folks, it appears they just set it once and forget it!
The ships photographers were setting up to take photos for the first formal night on board. They had several poses that they ran everybody through, almost like a production line process. I tried to talk with them a bit when I saw them on deck but they really weren't interested in shop talk. I never saw them fiddling with any settings, it appeared that everyone got exactly the same.

It's good when you find that thing that makes you happy!
Being out to sea is really relaxing for us but Niccy decided to take that relaxation to the next level.
She had been working on a hand sewn quilt for several months prior to our trip and decided to bring it with for the long plane ride. She got quite a bit done on the plane and was able to get it finished sitting out on the back deck as we sailed along.
This was a good and bad thing actually. Good that she got it finished, bad because we came home with a suitcase half filled with new material that she picked up in the different ports!
Oh my, how slang has changed over the years....
Walking with two drinks was a pretty common sight on this cruise with both men and women, not something I've noticed much on our other trips. I guess that UK folks are wanting to make sure that their hydration level is always up?
Now when I was much, much younger if you saw your friend (or pretty much anyone) with two drinks in their hands you'd say they were Double Fisting it which was the original title I was going to use for the shot.
DO NOT AND I MEAN ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LOOK UP THE MODERN DEFINITION OF DOUBLE FISTING. IT IS DEFINITELY NSFW!!! DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU SEE THINGS THAT SHOCK YOUR EYELIDS!
I got no further than the first description (not even a link click) on Google when I realized that Double Fisting It was definitely NOT going to be the title of this shot!
Hopefully the Porn Police don't come knocking on my door, it really was an innocent search
