No bridge! by maggiemae

No bridge!

Mr Man made it through the deep valleys hidden in the Kaikouras and didn’t see the right post boxes. He discovered what he thought was a shortcut but found he needed not just a boat but a helicopter! He stared at all this raging water and thought there must have been a better way to carry on! Yolanda has become more of a challenge!

Three Good Things:
1. The party across the road on a Saturday night seemed to end at 245 am which is better than 4am!
2. A small spider got away in spite of me whacking him 8 times!
3. Got the iMac going except for some apps which we may have to buy again!
Lol. Love the tag. Mr. Man is pretty smart to know his limitations. I hope he's enjoying all the beautiful scenery that he is seen in his quest for Yolanda.

Yay for getting the iMac running!!

@grammyn Didn't have to pay the workman either, Katy - just in food!

Love the watercolour effect of the photo. What Mr Man stuck, surely not. Onwards young man, grab the challenge, but be careful.
March 20th, 2016  
don't even try to cross here Mr Man...that water looks cold and fast...
March 20th, 2016  
@maree_sanderson He's trying to work out if he really guns the bike whether he would land on the other side!

@jaffacakes I think the word here, Julie, is not 'onwards' but 'backwards"!

That's too bad, but I'm sure he (you) will find a way out...
March 20th, 2016  
Ooh dear what a disappointment -- but I am sure where is a will ,there is a way !!
March 20th, 2016  
How difficult are Imacs!
It's going to take some for Mr Man to cross that! :)
March 20th, 2016  
Oh dear! Maybe he can leap over the canyon like Evil Knevil!
March 21st, 2016  
I'm afraid he'll have to backtrack and find a different way to cross the raging river.
March 21st, 2016  
Yolanda seems to be hiding from Mr. Man . Glad Mr.Man isn't going to try and cross this river . Hopefully he'll find a bridge.

@olivetreeann I don't think that motorbike will go faster than 50mph, Ann!

@bruni I know that if he goes further north, he will find a bridge, Bruni! He has got an iPhone so that if he uses the GPS function, it will be all go!

@lesip Good thing for mobiles, isn't it Leslie - provided you have service! I think that might be a reason here!
March 21st, 2016  
@maggiemae Oh well, time for a detour then!
March 21st, 2016  
Mr. Man? Yolanda? I need to catch up!
March 21st, 2016  
@mej2011 If you tag, 'Mr Man' or Yolanda, there are many adventures! I'm the only one mad enough to call a nuts and bolts bike that name!
March 21st, 2016  
Looks like you are having fun with Mr Man. I sure do not like to be kept awake by neighbors. It happens just once in a while. Resilient spider. My iMac is running slow again. Will have my son look at it again on Wednesday or he actually can remote into it from where he lives. Hope you are enjoying yours.
March 21st, 2016  
@darsphotos Make sure you are emptying all the trash, Darlene! Mine took a heap of work before it started running fast again. Like taking EVERYTHING out and putting it all back again from the backup!
March 21st, 2016  
Interesting capture, Mr Man certainly doesn't take the easy route.
March 21st, 2016  
Well I hope Yolanda is worth all this effort.........Queen Charlotte Sound Mr Man! Keep moving on!!
March 21st, 2016  
@happypat He's getting there Pat - just wait for tomorrow's episode!
March 21st, 2016  
@maggiemae I only had a little trash and just emptied it. My son deleted a lot of photos as he made a second file and put those into my trash but emptied that too. I have my backup though it says it is full and cannot backup before July of last year. I thought backup meant all that is on my computer and adds what I add each time. Wonder if this means everything before July last year is not backing up. So confused. Will have him look at this on Wednesday. Thanks for the reminder as I need to make notes for him.
March 21st, 2016  
Fly and you need a better glasses for the whacking the spiders.
March 21st, 2016  
@darsphotos Interesting because my back up says the same thing. John says that the backup should delete the oldest ones! hmm!
March 21st, 2016  
@yaorenliu No, better reaction time is far too slow for quick spiders! Yao ! Will have to be addressed!
March 21st, 2016  
Great title and definitely in need of a helicopter. I think he needs to try a different direction!
March 21st, 2016  
@thistle I don't think Mr Man can afford a helicopter and his man friends seem to have motorbikes rather than flying machines!
March 21st, 2016  
Love the composition and treatment of this image Maggiemae!
March 21st, 2016  
Mr Man seems to be very intelligent and does not like to take extra risks. Beautiful image of the surging waters.
March 21st, 2016  
Great composition, i presuming he has a dinghy or a DIY raft in his backpack :)
March 21st, 2016  
Mr. Man needs to fly over that crossing. Nice shot.
March 21st, 2016  
Lovely capture of the falls, Mr. Man does get to some places.
March 21st, 2016  
Oo err, look for another way mr man!
March 21st, 2016  
Could Mr. Man be having second thoughts about whether Yolanda is really worth all this? Probably not, but I wouldn't blame him.
March 21st, 2016  
@tristansmum I wouldn't think so Stephanie - life was getting a bit boring just sitting on a shelf for months!
March 21st, 2016  
@maggiemae Hmmm, that is so strange. I thought we backup our computer each time and it replaces what was there previously. I will have my son check for me.
March 22nd, 2016  
@darsphotos I have since found out that my backup had two spam files in it which have been found and removed by 'Malware'
March 22nd, 2016  
I'm sure he'll make it!
March 22nd, 2016  
@maggiemae My son came by and wiped out my external hard drive and he backed up my computer for me. It did not disconnect correctly for some reason so will have him check it on Sunday when he is here. So much to do and so much happening in our lives. It all seems overwhelming but we will get through it.
March 26th, 2016  
@darsphotos Hey Darlene - "lie back and think of England" This means if you can't change it, enjoy it!
