I have days like that - I just can't remember if I'm coming or going. :?

Is that a Mac in the background taking it all in his stride?

YES.. it's a Mac docked there, I know it belongs to someone whose a member here cause they had a picture posted of their Mac and that same cruise ship was docked in exactly the same spot.

Someone has to say it.

I think he's flooded the engine.

That's not a cruise ship - - - it's a harbor party boat - - - never goes outside the breakwater - - - this is the main launch ramp at Marina Del Rey, CA - - - and that , I believe, is Mike's Mac.

Rick :( :macm: less in Las Vegas

A little positive flotation needed....

I saw a show on the BBC - where the hosts mod'd vehicles for a UK to France crossing - in the Channel.. Truly optimistic.... but it worked...

That would be Top Gear, they modified a Hilux, a Van and a little sports car.
