Now about your birth certificate if you haven’t figured out who you are now LGBTQKZ please take note you can now legally change your birth certificate gender identity. I have re-posted mine too confused. Love your posts it’s taking me a while to catch up on reading them but you are certainly not another educated colonial like the rest of us. God save the Queen and Camilla to.

Well-well Amberjack. [isnt that some kind of pacific salmon] first and foremost i have to tell you that i am no „“TALENTED OLD FART“.
I just think up a project and set about fernagling said concept .
Dont have plans or drawings [ always like to have photo of the said piece for reference] very rarely use a measuring stick—- and no two are ever even remotely alike .
Never had a problem with my birth certificate —-have the original right here at the house .
I know exactly who and what i am—— never ever been any doubt about that.
I am completely AUX-FAIT with that and have not ever thought of changing my birth certificate —gender —colour or creed .
No, i am not a colonial—i am an original— but i am educated !!! [ HALIFAX JUNIOR TECHNICAL COLLEGE]
By the way—-can i ask —GOD SAVE THE QUEEN AND CAMILLA TO ?????? To what ?? Or did you mean TOO.?

CHARLIES O‘NEIL. Hmmmm? If you have to wait for the SOCE cheque to come in Charlies— it seems a shame to spend it on a Redbird !!!
Gene LANGHAM and Ted Boyd both have concepts of the Redbird —- coloured red — damned if i can remember if either of them had the flash !!
Better if i give you my cell phone number —— that way im not running up overseas call bills —plus, im a mean old bastard .

Jackie you ar*e. Get your number down and send the guy a PM.

You have to understand that as well as being as bent as an 11 sided threepenny bit — politicians are not very bright either .ALASKA alone has enough oil to keep american garages full of product at $2 a gallon [which is a very fair price] its only the politicians who need the taxes to pay for past mistakes and their ridiculous salaries.

That was one. Another stupid thing I agreed to I was going to the left coast land of fruits and nuts for a honeymoon. Had a good time open wine country imbibing in the grape. Next winter lake Taos for some snow skiing. My ex was also from Florida but she had lived in Colorado for two years and was a proficient snow skier. I didn’t know from nothing about black diamond courses but I sure learned quick talk about Screamin fly into a pine tree or spruce or whatever the hell it was, I managed to make it off the slope after one run and went straight to rum in the bar never left the bar for the rest of the honeymoon. I don’t remember too much after that I got home to Miami and managed to stay married for about 14 years. Still lovely lady but she tried to kill me on her honeymoon .

Charlies —. I have always been a great believer in KENETIC ENERGY —for every action -there is a reaction !!!!!!!!!
from where I’m stood , sounds like your ex might have had her reasons . It’s never been possible to think for other people —so i wouldn't even attempt to travel that particular road . However —you made it this far , just be grateful and make the most of it .
Squeeze every damn minute for all its worth —-like the man said —LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHERSAL.
Crap and corruption —- did i really write that first thing Monday morning ????/

Does not bode well for the rest of the week.

Managed to finish just two gearcases complete with props . Doesn’t sound like much , but in reality its monumental.

...you guys remind me of an old walter matthau movie...;)...

Both you and Ted had one apiece — think it was about 8 years ago Gene . I had this one under the bench for five years or more . I made the whole shebang out of one piece of beautiful English oak including the motors . Thought there might be someone out there who would appreciate an all wooden wing—- but no one ever did .
AMBERJACK reckons he has a hankering —- but it needs to be red with a flash. Just trying to accommodate .

Stellar day . Over 8 hours in the shop. Most of it spent on REDBIRD - and the outboards . Keep putting off the four more gearcases sill to do . Makes my wrists ache and my fingers sore . Never have been able to make two exactly alike .
Sold a bunch of equipment to a guy from where i used to reside .
Taking the morning off tomorrow . Have to look at some machinery thats been offered. Never pass up on an opportunity.
