Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Hello Mudder-----hello Fadder ------here I am in old Granada----
Nice and sunny-----could be funny,
Made this old fart quite a happy little bunny.

Just got in -----more misery coming your way later, J.

Tavares is coming closer and closer..... Jackie.

DO NOT SEND Waterwork's Molinari to him. Make Watercress come to Tavares to get it. I will pick Waterwings up at the airport and deposit his Canadian bum at the golf course for the tourney.

Is That OK with you, Waterfall?

P.S. How about a Picklefork Molinari, Jackie?

Somewhere in the depths of my memory---I seem to remember an old guy who used to sport the number 7------can't remember his name, just wonder if any of you out there remember him ?

Do you have the wrong number or do I have the wrong "old guy" ......

...... Man, look at the head on that moustache! .....

Is that ever one smart bonce

Good to hear from you Willa, I missed your caustic comments.
Old guy I was referring to came out of Missouri, retired to Naples, had a try at making a name for himself at golf but failed miserably! It's on the tip of my tongue, sod my old britches-------WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT GUYS NAME.??
Somebody somewhere must remember his name------sooner or later?
SEA BISCUIT .? Or was that an old horse!
Maybe Butler or Rich can remember, will ask around at Tavares in November.
Pretty sure he raced number7 a time or too, maybe I was thinking of Barry Sheene, I give up!

You think Waterwings will maybe get your message Rich----does that mean I don't have to pick up the "Pony Express" delivery charge ?

Way things are stacking up in the shop and the shed, I may have to hire a 20' container to ship everything.

Never gave a thought to a "Molli pickle" but it shouldn't pose too much of a problem, finished most of the present projects, just got the numbers and decals to finish off WARBY'S wonder A Couple of T3/s and four or five gear cases then I'm home free.

Does "OLD BLUE"ring any chimes-----and I don't mean the V6 Merc I Aquired at Tavares last year!

[jackiewilson]

Been one of those days when you try and get a quart into a pint pot ! End of the day and I'm all Cathedreled out-----Granadas is a particularly awe inspiring example.
Finished the day with a visit to a tapas bar or three , swilled down with a couple of jars of Sangria.
me done for the day------encore mañana----MYGGWY. J.

Wateryoutalkingabout TIIX? I'd be delighted to have the sculptor hand-deliver his creation to me in person! Deal, Rich!
Jackie, keep it safe and away from Warby's missile - that thing looks intimidating next to the outboard rigs. Of course size doesn't matter considering ours were meant for marathons. ;0)

Thanks Watercolor...

Thanks Watercolor...

Thats ok Waterworks, say hi to Buffalo, ?

Gotta go , breakfast and the Alhambra palace are calling,
by the way, this hotel here slap dad in the centre of Granada makes the Ritz look a bit like my garden shed----HOTEL PALACIO LOS PATOS ! Look it up on the dot dot. j.

[jackiewilson]

Go back in time 700 years or so, there was this here Maquessa who had 50,000 CONQUISTERDORS with nobody to fight, King of Spain had just paid him for the use of his soldiers leaving him with a few shillings to play with !
They needed to be occupied in a gainful fashion, !
So, take a mountain and set them to work for ten years building a fort, some fountains, a castle with moat, a few hundred acres turp
into gardens and A Whorehouse ( Harem is the posh word) , for the nobility and 50,000 horny Musketeers, that's a lot of Testerone floating about so they needed a lot of female company.

Eyes are drooping, lots of Sangria, am a tad "Knackered"-----Talk later.

Alhambra ! Has to be one of the most fantastic places I ever visited. everyone should put this place at the top of their places to go to list. must have a hundred gardeners keeping the place in shape, Awesome!
Not possible to see it all in a day, it's a mini city on a mountainside, views over Granada are spectacular .
its a quiet place until 20:00hrs, that's when folk put on their best togs and strut around the town showing off all their new clothes, roving the tapas bars and hoping to pull a bird or two. This goes on until 2--3 am.
Cheapest place in the world to buy leather goods, handbags, shoes, belts etc.
Hotel is outrageous, has more white marble than the White House, headboard has over thirty crocodile skins, bleached white to match the dressing table and waste bin.


Tomorrow we head for Cordoba for a couple of days, it has one of the world's grandest cathedrals.

Sorted the Pickle out in my mind decided to put a V 8 JONRUDE on its bum.
Have a need to elaborate on the Red Tunnel, needs a bit more detail.
Been away two whole days but got the workshop fever, anyone remember Masefields "Sea Fever" ?

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky, and all I ask is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by. Look it up on the dot dot.
Bought meself a fancy silk baseball umpires shirt, for showing off in Tavares.

All rambled out, don't worry, I'll have more misery for you tomorrow just remember, "Always head for the sun, then you will never walk in the shadows" G'night all MYGGWY.J.

This old BASTY Nastard followed me again----told him to bugger off !
