Derr…its taken a while for the penny …

…to drop …but now when I appreciate the urgency that “first responders are under” these….

….. make “such a lot” more sense, hence their needing to be “highlighted as much as poss.”

What is the number plate of this courier…

…trying to say?

….

Spotted locally…but more importantly…

 

…questions need answers?

Just Love locals I do..

and never more so than at this time..

…of year…Xmas and all that…it still does “bring folk together” for a common goal. Love it!

Yes I’ve pinched the photo from somewhere, but…

….it is, as a techo person …truly magnificent the progress made in recent years ….in the “storage wars?”

Pretty sure that beast the fork is loading onto a Panam flight is a 5 or 10mb hard disk drive (as they used to known)

And weird…..how true or not…it was a story passed to me from a friend who got it (well…thats what he told me) from “the source” that in those early days the company that sold these Hard Drives into organisations that needed “power”, well the machines actually had a “hidden” capacity.

As in…you had a 5 megabyte drive…but quite quickly your company decided it needed 10mb storage…so …cue …upgrade from company selling said device……technician arrives on site…..and unbeknownst to trusting paying customer…well to put it bluntly …the dude (cause they were back in the day) flicks a switch only he knows where it is.

Turns out…as soon as he’s left….said client is quite happy indeed…..cause you do indeed have 10mb and…so wow…so so quick!!!

Love it…and am looking to get one…

…of these beauties spotted locally….anyone else in NZ have one of these Crossover 370GT’s that look a heck of a lot like an Infinity model that sells in the UK / USA?

Comments please?

Just the most glorious sight from home…

…out to the bay over the weekend.

Ain’t that just the cutest lil’ truck…

….you ever did see - spotted locally.

Amusing because it was the same week that I also spotted this just parked up alongside the Main Rd, Stoke. Then again Nelson is known as the Classic Car capital of NZ, with more classic cars per head of population than anywhere else!!

A Nelson Real Estate Agent asked me to take photos of a home …

….this morning…however I didn’t think they showed the home in its best light….(Cloud cover didn’t help)…

….so a bit later when I noticed Mr Sunshine (which Nelson is pretty famous for) popped his head up…it looked better…

….so if you’re interested….

….check out Diane Taylor of Summit Real Estate - Stoke’s…… new listing in Byron Place.

One of the scariest things I’ve seen on a local arterial…

spotted this morning (ignore date imprint as I haven’t got around to fixing this on my dashcam yet.

Now thats more like it…

…colourful sunrise this morning in Nelson.

If you just saw this…for the 2nd day of Summer…

….you wouldn’t know most of the mountain tops around had a fresh dusting of snow over the last few days.
