I am refinishing these photos in Lightroom 5! She was a tall, thin, fit, athletic goddess and classic california beach babe! A pretty brunette with brown/hazel eyes and long black hair! Amazingly scuplted and toned body, abs, quads, legs, calves, biceps and more!
Shot with a Panasonic DMC-FZ50--a nifty little camera that still had a CCD in it, instead of the cmos sensor! It's close to Micro 4/3 and the Leica lens/ glass is awesomely sharp!
All the best on your Epic Hero's Journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
She was as pretty as she was muscular!

Between 2018 and 2022 relief lifeboat RNLB MARINE ENGINEER served on the Douglas station following the withdrawal of the RNLB SIR WILLIAM HILLARY. She is seen here alongside the visitor pontoon at Battery Pier, Douglas whilst maintenance work is undertaken on the boathouse and slipway.
The station is currently served by RNLB RUBY CLERY the former Ramsey Lifeboat.

Douglas Lifeboat Station is located at Battery Pier, Douglas Head, in the City of Douglas, capital of the Isle of Man.
Douglas and the Isle of Man holds a special place in the history of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), previously the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), as this was the home of its founder, Sir William Hillary, 1st Baronet, 1771–1847.
The first Douglas lifeboat was funded by the Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man, and arrived in 1802. A lifeboat station operated by the RNIPLS was opened in 1825. The station was re-established by the RNLI in 1868.
The station currently operates one of the last two Mersey-class lifeboats still in active service, 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181), on station since 2022.
In 1802, a lifeboat was provided to Douglas by the John Murray, 4th Duke of Atholl, Governor of the Isle of Man. She was an 8-oared 25-foot-long boat costing £130, named Atholl, and was one of 31 lifeboats built by Henry Greathead. There are no records of any service by the boat. The boat was kept out in the open on the beach and was washed away and wrecked in a storm of December 1814.
On 6 October 1822, the Royal Naval Ship Vigilant was wrecked on the Conister Rock (later the location of the Tower of Refuge), and it was only due to the daring actions of Sir William Hillary, Bt. and a group of volunteers, using local boats, that 97 men were rescued.
Having witnessed many wrecks and loss of life whilst living in Douglas, and now inspired by the events of 1822, Hillary published his Appeal to the Nation in 1823. He gained the support of his philanthropic friends in London Society.
A public meeting was held at the City of London Tavern, Bishopgate on 4 March 1824, with attendees including the archbishop of Canterbury, various MPs, and high-profile public figures such as William Wilberforce and sea rescue expert Capt. George William Manby FRS. It was resolved to form the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck.
The Institution was granted royal patronage by King George IV on 20 March 1824, thus becoming the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck. Prime Minister Robert Jenkinson was made president, with Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Charles Manners-Sutton becoming vice-president. Hillary was awarded an honorary Gold Medal as founder.
In August 1824, Hillary requested of the Institution, that a new lifeboat station be established at Douglas. The request was approved, and an order for a boat, the first lifeboat ordered by the Institution, was placed with William Plenty of Newbury, previously the winner of a lifeboat-design competition. He provided a 20-foot lifeboat, named Nestor, which arrived in Douglas in early October 1825.
However, also following the events of October 1822, a group of marine insurance companies including Lloyd's of London had already agreed in April 1824 to fund a new lifeboat for Douglas. She was a 29-foot North Country type, built by Wake of Sunderland, and cost £112. She arrived in Douglas in November 1824, 11 months before the Institution boat, and was named True Blue.
It may be that Nestor suffered a very short career. On her first and only recorded service, to the vessel City of Glasgow in trouble in Douglas Bay, Nestor was driven onto the rocks on her return trip and badly damaged, although the 15 people rescued from the ship and the lifeboat crew made it safely ashore.
There are conflicting reports of exactly which lifeboats were in service at Douglas after this time. Certainly, the True Blue remained in service for many years until 1851, with many heroic and medal-winning services performed. Hillary requested that new stations be set up in Peel (1828) and Ramsey (1829), and a new boat for Peel was ordered from Taylor of Blackwall. Another boat was ordered locally, a 29-foot 10-oared Palmer-type boat, from boat builder Robert Oates of Douglas. Whilst one report shows that this boat was being built for Ramsey, another report indicates that Ramsey's boat was actually built by Harton of London and transported to Ramsey aboard HM Cutter Industry, arriving on 20 February 1829.
A Glasgow boat, Eclipse, ran aground in Douglas Bay in January 1830. Hillary, along with lifeboat coxswain Isaac Vondy and crew, took the unfinished boat from Robert Oates's yard and launched to her aid. In extreme circumstances, with the lifeboat still missing air-cases, causing her to carry excess water from the pounding waves, everyone was safely recovered. Hillary received his second Gold Medal for gallantry.
In 1833, RNLI records show two Douglas lifeboats in service. One was the True Blue, but it is unclear as to the identity of the second boat – maybe the unnamed boat from Robert Oates, or possibly the Nestor, which may have been repaired. By 1843, just True Blue was reported to be in service at Douglas.
A period of decline followed the death of Hillary in 1847, the driving force behind the Institution on the island. A report of 1851 records the True Blue as unserviceable. The Institution decided to commission a 24-foot Peake-class lifeboat from Wallis of Blackwall, to be named Sir William Hillary, Bt., and by May 1853, it was reported as ready. But no records show any service by this boat, or indeed that it was ever delivered to Douglas.
In 1866, the RNLI resolved to form a new lifeboat station at Douglas. A new boathouse was built on Harris promenade, at the corner of Church Road, and a 32-foot self-righting lifeboat was commissioned with Forrestt of Limehouse, London, costing £246.
£325 was received from the Manchester and Salford Sunday School Fund, which covered the cost of the boat, plus all kit and equipment, and the launching carriage. On 6 February 1868, the boat was transported by rail to Manchester, and paraded through the streets to Peel Park, Salford, where she was greeted by about 10,000 Sunday-school children and parents and was named Manchester and Salford Sunday School.
In 1872, William Curphey took over as coxswain. However, when a launch in September 1873 failed to rescue 3 men from drowning, he resigned, citing that the boathouse was in the wrong location, which had caused unnecessary delays in launching.
The RNLI subsequently decided to place a second boat at the harbour, to be kept afloat at its moorings, and creating a No. 2 station. This boat arrived in 1874, and was named John Turner-Turner in the memory of the late husband of Mrs Turner-Turner of Ringwood, Hampshire, who had provided the funds for the boat.
The No. 1 station effectively closed when the boat house on Harris promenade was sold to Douglas Corporation in 1892, although the No. 1 boat Thomas Rose (ON 191) was still in service, and kept under a tarpaulin at the quay. A severe storm of December 1895 caused the No. 2 boat, by then Civil Service No. 6 (ON 273), to break her moorings, and she was wrecked on the rocks. She was withdrawn from service, and No. 2 station closed.
In 1896, following a meeting between the RNLI and Douglas Harbour Commissioners, a new boat house on the Battery Quay was commissioned, along with a slipway. A replacement boat was also ordered, another 42-foot 12-oared self-righting boat, built by Rutherford's of Birkenhead. Costing £618, she was also named Civil Service No.6 (ON 384), arriving in Douglas on 5 June 1896. The entire cost was met by the Civil Service Fund. Thomas Rose was withdrawn from service.
In 1920, the RNLI announced that a new motor-powered lifeboat would be provided for Douglas. A new lifeboat house and slipway was constructed, mounted on piles built in the harbour in front of the existing boathouse, and costing £10,000. The lifeboat was a 45ft Watson-class, built by S. E. Saunders, costing £8,456. Arriving in Douglas in November 1924 and funded by the Manchester and Salford branch of the RNLI, she was sailed over to Trafford Wharf on the Manchester Ship Canal in June 1925, for a naming ceremony attended by over 25,000 people. She was duly named Manchester and Salford (ON 689) by Lady Fry, wife of the Lieutenant governor of the Isle of Man.
Present day: In March 2024, the 1920s boathouse is still in use, awaiting a decision on a replacement boathouse and lifeboat. All-weather Mersey-class lifeboat 12-22 Ruby Clery (ON 1181) is on service, having been transferred from her previous homes at Peel and Ramsey.

The deep water quay at Audley's point Castle Ward; the preferred mooring point for Maxwell Ward, 6th Viscount Bangor, to moor his beloved yacht Bonito. We used it to come ashore in 1988 but sadly it was 'restored' by the National Trust in 2005 and look at the state of it, it's rendered useless/dangerous. Great work lads! It makes you wonder? A lot of money is squandered on stupid signs warning of trip hazards etc. while important work is carried out like this. A morning of soft light on the shores of Strangford Lough with the village of Portaferry in the distance.
and their 'coats of arms'.

Cincinnati chapter of the American Truck Historical Society (ATHS) 2015 show in Fairborn, Ohio at Howard Trucking's facility. Back in the day, Brockway built some very cool trucks as shown by this beauty.
From Wikipedua: "Brockway Motor Company was a builder of custom heavy-duty trucks in Cortland, New York from 1912 to 1977. It was founded as Brockway Carriage Works in 1875 by William Brockway.
The company was purchased by Mack Trucks Inc. in August 1956 and remained a division of Mack until its closing in June 1977.Mack cited "union troubles" for the closure but that was doubtful."
Five years ago I came up with an expansion for my Single Set Challenge, the Double Set Challenge. It's nowhere near as popular -- I think I'm the only one who's tried it -- but I still like the idea.
So when the Blok Head City Builder set came along and I commented that it needed one more Ball Joint Plate to be awesome, I figured I'd take a shot at a Double Set Challenge with it.

Today was wonderful. Sixty degrees, bright sunshine, cloudless sky, light breeze. HAD to grab the camera and head out.
Several observations about the day...but first, the photo. This fellow had obviously just completed a weights workout. He then stepped out for a walk to cool down. Pretty impressive.
Other thoughts: First and very important to me...the entire trail around the lake is open. Apparently the virus stopped the work that had closed the trail...and the decision was made to open it up. GOOD!
And it was full of people...biking, jogging, walking sightseeing. Social distancing? Yes and no. Me, I work alone, and I don't touch anything.
There was plenty to photograph at the lake, and then I went on into the woods, where there were additional subjects for my camera. The next several days will show some of those photos.
But two important observations. First, we will end up with the most physically fit dog population ever. EVERYONE was walking one or more dogs. I went for a bit of a drive, and every block had one or more people exercising their dogs.
And the second profound observation: From what I saw today, seeing the bikers, the young lady joggers, etc., we likely will be seeing a SPANDEX shortage. Oh my.
