8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 13

[PBader]

I carry a spare camera for that reason (camera break downs while on memorable trips). On the last cruise prettyintink (kenin and cindy) had a camera accident - and I offerred them my spare - but they had already bought a replacement from the ship. I suggested they return it and just take my camera for the trip. They graciously declined.

But... a spare digicam is not a bad idea given how fragile some of them can be. The retractable lens assembly was damaged on my 1st camera too... I gave the old G1 to my cousins' niece for a few minutes and she gave it back broken. I blame myself. But then again... it had already served for about 25,000 images! So it was well worn and was already developing intermittent electrical issues. I got it fixed for about $125 (I paid $900 for it new) ... then it broke again. Whereupon I sold it on ebay for about $125 with FULL DISCLOSURE of it's condition and history! THEN I turned around and bought another G1 on ebay for $150 - camera alone without the charger or accessories. I retained the charger from the original G1... so I was sitting pretty. The new used G1 was pristine and severd well to this day. I've only dropped it twice and it still works....

I now carry 2 also.

The fogging comes from going out of a humidity controlled (air conditioned) enviornment that is generally cool into a warm moist environment. The bag would help eliminate the moisture (if packed right) but may have you sacrificing quality....

Having a good photo grade cleaning cloth to wipe moisture from lens is best way (or opening camera as soon as you get outside so the temp/moisture has time to level before you shoot)

Thank you - I suppose the bag would be good for the beach -yes?

Or as Tom suggested - just a zip-lock bag to keep the sand out.

Dice game that is very easy which enables you to chat, eat and drink while playing.

Ahh, .... I'veheard of things like that...

Excuse me while I go wash some luch hour dishes... my spouse has spoken....

​

 

[captaincrash]

They are pros at that. It is those moments that make them bearable in all the other ones.

Excuse me while I step away a bit now....​

It's my way...

...Of deferring the inevitable... to possibly side step the chore ENTIRELY....

OK... gotta go now....

The spouse just asked with a chuckle about the image I'm posting here...

<she was chuckling AND poking me physically to get going already....>​

I hope you were a bit more thorough. He doesn't appear to be putting much muscle into the job.

teens ....on hot days...

my favorite disney ride has to be the haunted mansion ....and now
soaring [ always like orange groves~ smells]


what favorite outside the famous ones?...i would say jimmy, but he
probably too famous...therefore, the boy that corrupted
pinocchio....was his name lugwin? pinocchio was the first disney
movie.., right before christmas.

who would i be ?...i think i 'll try out for one of the princes, no
reasons.... , merlin~ i have a bag with a few tricks.
"bernard would probably be more suitable.



villian?.......the poacher in "the rescuers down under"~ vance? mcbride?



dear pbager...did ya forget...& be "merry?" or is that better get marry?
..the older i get, the more ...i need to repeat...my past mouse~takes,

...i could find myself walking the plank.

I too am paranoid about my passport and travel papers. Before I leave on a trip I check and double check that I have everything I need(I am sure this is a case of OCD). Even at the apirport I check and recheck.

My prize possessions are my US BC and my US PASSPORT. I am lucky to be an American!!!!
Karen

Lucky to be an American is right
My DH is big on American History, Founding Fathers, etc. and we've been to Williamsburg several times
Must be a zoo down there this weekend ?

 

[MrsScooby]

Yes, we got ours . . . it is always fun to get something from Disney!

Our servers!!!!!! We won't know what to do if we get great servers!!!!!!

Somehow I think it's going to be harder to get a number 2 boarding pass this time around

My sister came over to show me the CC cards that she received (did not get mine!) and I went on to search for the threads to show her what the stateroom gift might be. She very innocently asked if anyone from the repo cruise had started a thread!

I'm not good with fancy cameras, but I did get the Canon Powershot S2IS last year and I have been pleased with it. I think it takes pretty good pictures, and there are a few options to play around with if you are brave! I checked the photography thread on the DISboards for more info before purchasing.

Sample from AKL:

Cool shot!

I've been reading the Photo thread the past few weeks. I am blown away by the pictures posted. Thanks

7 question time again....​

1) whats' your favorite DISNEY RIDE?

2) whats' your favorite DISNEY Character - who is NOT a "STAR" or leading character?

3) what was the 1st Disney show you can recall having seen?

4) what was the LAST Disney show you can recall having seen?

5) if you could be the CM playing a DISNEY character on the ship or at one of the parks for a day - which would you choose?

6) U like any Disney VILLANS? WHos' your favorite one?

7) What new DISNEY CHARACTER would YOU create to add to a Disney movie? IE... I would create an 8th Dwarf... the MISER. He'd be the one in charge of the Dwarves finances. That is NOT my actual opinion - just an example.

OK... let's sprint!​

OK...

... I'm done with a couple of chores now... so I'll take a moment to reply now....

1) California Screamin' - the roller coaster in California Adventure

2) Jessica Rabbit

3) This is extremely tough... and I'm gonna sort of guess it was Peter Pan. As this story has always been in my early childhood memories

4) POTC AWE

5) I would like to play Aladdin in the street boy garb.

When at the park he's always beaming and sort of jumping around to greet and chat with the kids. And tha would fit me I think. A lot of the other characters can't say much in costume and being totally silent is not me.

6) Ohhh.... favorite villan? Why .... its' gotta be Jafar! I've got a Jafar costumer after all?!?!

7) Now that I'm thinkin' about it ... I WILL say it's the 8th dwarf for Snow White... named Yoda... he's a Jedi Master Dwarf!

ok all - sure could use some ixiedust:. Shortly before leaving on my last minute getaway, something happened that could adversely affect my family. Unfortunately, life happens and this was bound to happen sooner or later but wish things could have happened in a nicer way.

Sorry to be cryptic but those that know me, I am notorious for getting up late. However, today and last night I fell asleep at 2 am and got up at 5 am PST. This is not me and I must get some sleep but am compulsive obsessive about things.

Here's hoping that things get resolved and our family cruise in July continues to be a family cruise!

Yet please note - I WILL MAKE IT TO THE MED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! (and if God permits - I am going to turn over my faith to him and let him take things from here)

Thanks all for listening - everyone is asleep here and/or does not understand how mom's get all emotional. Thanks for your well wishes.

P.S. - Capt Crash - I wave as I passed your area - I see you may have been awake - we took a last minute trip to Solvang. Hoping to get to use my camera in the next couple hours. Need some time to straighten my thoughts.

Good Thoughts going your way

Found this online ....

Sea & Sea adds pro underwater housing for Rebel XTi

Underwater housing experts Sea & Sea today expanded their range of protective cases with the DX-400D, a hard shell that surrounds the entirety of Canon's Digital Rebel XTi (also known as the EOS-400D). Purposefully built for divers and other professionals who need perfect waterproofing, the DX-400D gives full access to the camera's controls but has a powered leak sensor that will warn a diver should water seep into the enclosure. The durability exceeds that of normal plastic cases and is rated for depths as great as 200 feet. Sea & Sea notes that the housing will be ready for American and Japanese buyers shortly at a price of $2,000.

DH has the Rebel XT - and no we will not be getting this housing (cost more than the camera does!). We will definately be looking into a bag like Roger posted!

Yeah, we had no problem last time with the #2 pass . . . I'm not going to get too worked up about how quickly I get on the ship for this cruise since I will be on it for 15 days!
