Plucking is better than taking a bath in grapes.
Maybe in England they did not see this 1960's, I Love Lucy episode on BBC telly.

Dontcha just love everything old [including me] ??
Here in a England we have a womens football tournament going on. . England have reached the final to be played this Sunday at Wembley stadium .
They have been given the nickname „“THE LIONESS‘S“ .
Now the dickheads want them to be called the „“LIONS“. ???????????
Now , whilst some of them maybe dykes or lesbian —- i guarantee that not any of them have got what a lion has ——-and thats A DICK.
Lucy was also a big hit over here along with Jack Benny ——Perry Como——LIBERACE !!!!!!! Abbot and Costello——We got ‚em all.
Big IndianGreat pictures that I’ve never seen before of Mr. Pruett. Jackies ranting About Old TV programs heck they probably just got color TV over there in England. Jackie don’t lie tell me you wouldn’t suck Lucille Ball’s toes after she stomped In the grapes. Talk to Brownie Tuesday 87 years old and still getting after it down in Miami restoring a couple of Boston whalers I don’t know whether he does it just for the fun of it but he always makes money on it. A real OFF Lotta memories about that man. Gotta go back to work trying to fleece The customers.Quote:

My own thoughts were that we were getting lost and interest was waning in the OFF event over the last few years at Tavares .
From a long conversation i had with her today we have not yet managed to find a place to run the likes of Ted‘s Redbird and Jim Hunts Twin tunnel —- Roger HINSDALE‘s and all the others that are regulars at OFF meetings . But we are working on it.
plenty of room at both Marks place and Caddilacs for Rich and Odell‘s RV‘s and anyone else’s of the OFF brigade .
There will be a full itinerary of events and happenings over the two days . No time to get bored .
SEEBOLD got hisself a new 25 foot PONTOON —-will see if i can get him to park it on the inter coastal at Caddy‘s place —-stock it with beer and maybe take a trip to the sandbar and Tiki cabins with a few of the tale telling old timers .
All you have to do is keep in touch with Kate Wilson in Palm City— she knows everything.
We lost Warren (UK), Paul Salvino (USA) and Tony Dow (USA) this week.Quote:

Keep your eyes peeled on this site for more information.
Get your arses down to Palm city for the couple of days in early november —— park up the RV or book into a motel or hotel or whatever your poison is and thats it . Breakfast for two days is free of charge . Lunch is provided F.O.C. And in the evening there is a come and help yourself SURF AND TURF BAR-B-QUE.
Amnesty international has decreed that Lasse Strom is invited to the OFF 2022 meeting to be held in Palm City .
Even the SQUIRT is invited ==== SEEBOLD has promised to be there . Looks like its going to be one hell of a fun time. All you colonials North and West of Niagara are invited too. Ted — you bring the birds. And i promise to get them a space to run on the intercoastal.
This is for all the old farts only ——not for the wannabees and hangers on .
Gene —lets me and you stand at the head of the table as the PATRIARCHS one more time .
Rich -if you and Doreen can make it, you know damn well we would be more than happy to accommodate you — stacks of room for you and the RV.
STAY TUNED.
...flashback friday...https://www.screamandfly.com/attachm...2&d=1286846287
AND THATS HOW IT ALL BEGAN—there i was talking to Steve on the dog and bone when the very first mention of OFF was mooted . Then the three of them put it all together !!!!!!!
Jim Hauser—Steve SIROIS—and Caddilac Mc Daniel .
Thats what we are trying to re-create—the atmosphere and comeraderie of the first couple of years of OFF [OLD FRIENDS FOREVER —THAT EVOLVED INTO THE OLD FARTS SOMEHOW].
Trying to get all those people together again that were there for the first event [that is those that haven’t copped their clogs].
Then there’s folk like Richie Powers who still don’t think they are old enough to qualify!!!!!
We lost STICKLE this year—another of the dying breed of racer.
So this year we are going to have us a good old fashioned shindig .
To celebrate those of us still left who loved all things good about „“powerboats“.

So this guy says can you cobble a trophy together that i can present at the end of the season. WHICH SEASON ?i ask . Cant possibly be THIS feckin season ‚cos its only got two races left —-WRONG !!!!
Attachment 508210Attachment 508211
CAN ANYONE OUT THERE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THE HELL THIS HAPPENS ??????
I know the feckin Kodak does not TAKE upside down or sideways pictures, so its got to be a SCREAM AND FLY thing.
When Timmy and Billy came over for the Bristol Reunion i got to spend a couple of days with them , so we took a trip to GOODWOOD where they were preparing for the FESTIVAL OF SPEED .
One of the highlights of the show is always the iconic sculpture in front of the main house which usually has very exotic cars hanging from the sky.
Other piccie is on the start line of the famous Hillclimb run.
