You dont often get two yellow Rolls Royce Silver Ghost’s in one place——- one is my daughter SAMs—- the other is Gary Stray’s Gieco Gold Ghost Rolls Royce.
Thanks Fuji—— you make everything “Groovy”—- WILD THING- you make my heart sing????
Long hard wet day —- electric kept throwing the switch—- frustrating when you’re trying to cogitate.—— this one is quite a challenge — working on the glass and Gold Rolls Royce Silver Ghost— — why do I get myself involved in complicated concepts like this ? It achieves nothing—- and gets me ticking.
Well, I still have opinions—- memory’s sharp— keep promising not to get into arguments— controversial discussions—- debates etc ; Now that’s all very well—- until I make a statement that somebody does not agree with ! Then adds insulting remarks to boot !!! Am I supposed to bite the bullet and keep quiet——- I don’t think so—— .

Cactus in Samsgarden suddenly produces phallic stem after three years? Anyone know what it is?
"Horny" Cacti ? ;)
nice spot on the channel sam...
Question? Are the water levels, overall, higher there in recent years, like over here? (Generally, only people that live on the water will know this, as I/we do.)

Same thing with the plastic situation—- we only really started manufacturing and using plastic after the Second World War—- wasn’t it fantastic tackle—- the answer to most things—- a god given product ?
Fact we didn’t know what to do with it as waste has thrown the world into panic—— man is a very resilient animal and will no doubt come up with a feasible solution in the very near future.
The old adage of —- if it ain’t broke, why bother to fix it comes to mind—— man is a lazy but very inventive creature—— so don’t worry, he will get around to fixing it before it gets totally out of control!
more water, more boats...
.??? More people —— more Crap. .?? Simple fact Pilgrim!Quote:

Century Plant. Type of agave. It'll eventually flower at the top of the stalk. Blooms infrequently...sometimes decades apart...hence the not-quite-accurate name.Quote:

Not political at all Jackie. Never voted my entire life. Registered to vote for the first time just before the last election. Could care less about global warming. I live directly on saltwater & have my entire life. I am "in tune", on a daily basis, with my tides. They go in and out twice each day. My living room couch is 14 feet from my seawall. The water has always been a study & a source of entertainment for me, not to mention the constant breeze off the Atlantic. Just was wondering if Sam, at her nice spot she has there, has noticed any differences there over the years.Quote:

Mother nature is a strange creature—- has wild impetuous moments —- not like her at all, long periods of drought, followed by torrential rain which balances up the status quo !
You just can’t pigeon hole nature. Smart arses keep trying, but fail miserably—— so the blame is put down to —- global warming—- climate change—-sunspots—- Black holes ?
Most of us know that hurricanes—- tempests and typhoons are simply God taking a leak after a heavy night on the town.?
Tough old morning—- back in the groove with the rollers—- lady from the charity shop in Barnham reckons she’s good to go with the upholstery—— I’ll let her try a couple to begin with ?
Must be that time of the year— old folk hibernating—- snowbirds travelling south—old farts keeping themselves to themselves—- all waiting to travel to Tavares?
Looks like it’s going to be a good turnout this year—— was nice to see Alan Garbrecht and Tim Seebold
from the younger generations as well as Seebold, Stickle, Ted Jones, Schubert !
First time since the old farts began Sirois Wont be there—- I always liked his OFF speeches—- he somehow managed to hit the spot with a balance of humour, fact, memories and feelings. He was the reason I was determined to get at least one more meeting in.
Ordered another three band saw blades today—- probably the last—- time to slow down and take it a little easier—- it’s been nearly eight months since I started the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost’s and I’m still at least another month from completing all six. That’s it—- not doing any more—- Rich had the first—- Sam the second —- Gary Stray the third—- Scotty B has an option on the fourth, which leaves just three left for sale.
Speak now, or forever hold your peace ?

I’ve heard it all before Pilgrim—- politicians trying to justify their existence—— scientist who should be doing a paper round because they have minus IQ/s .
Did hear tell that record breaking fish were first caught when Pontius was I Pilate— thousands of years ago, but they still don’t blame it on climate change or global warming when a record breaking ten pound trout is landed.
Are hurricanes any worse than they were two thousand years ago——- does the moon come up fourteen times a year—- ??
I’m paying so much more in taxes than I did sixty years ago——- government tells me it to pay for global warming———
Rememder in the old days when you had three speeds in the gearbox—— and you had to drop down a cog to climb a hill——— how did we know to do that ?... I think it’s a little thing called “common sense” , lacking in most places especially In politicians—— I know I’ve still got mine ? How about you—-
I learnt to drive in a lhd willys jeep.

Still towed a boat with it.

Rollers are coming along nicely —- first of the six ready for upholstery—- should have two more ready for the weekend.
Thats Sams, Gary Stray’s, then Scotty Bees——- if anyone out there is remotely interested let me know now or forever!!!!!!
Only got room for three Concepts in the suitcase for delivery at Tavares .
If any of my old fart friends wants me to bring anything—— let me know PDQ ,
It’s all over nowwwww baby blue—— frost on Wednesday night killed off the last of the sweet peas !
Pulled all the plants and burned them, turned the soil ready for next years crop——- no complaints at all —-fourteen weeks of sweet peas on the table every day—— amazing the pleasure one gets out of a packet of seeds ?
Should get another two rollers ready for the upholstery lady this weekend——- three down and three to go. By next weekend I should have them all totally finished, complete with “PARK WARD” or “MULLINER” Interiors !
Next one up is to stick the “THREE GRACES” ( Dry Martini—- Aeromarine 111— and KAAMA ) on to a GOODWOOD style background—- I do have a couple of ideas floating about in the noddy box, implementation is another story !
Dentist early this morning to have the last fang removed—— then hopefully I get the top set of molars fitted——- previous attempt was memorable to say the least, reminded me of a camel having a laugh !
Have a better day than I’m going to have peeps and old farts, as Steve Sirois said at lake X last year, none of us will live forever, so let’s make the most of it.

Remember i I told you I got an idea !!!
Only bloody done it haven’t I ——- Six Rolls Royce Silver Ghost’s ready for the upholstery —— eight months after I set out to do just one.
Quite a sight I can tell you—— was going to post a piccie of the line up—- but the project is so close to being complete, I thought I’d wait until they were all done.
Since I posted them on Facebook there’s been a fair lot of interest—— even had an offer for all six which I Unfortunately had to turn down !
Had a few mad moments of depression and got stuck into the THREE GRACES mount—— paid off, as I think I nailed the bugger!
Next step is to get all the unfinished concepts up and together—— three cats —— six Vee bottoms including 2 —- 47’ Apaches—— determined to finish the lot and send em to florida before I start anything else.
https://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...38&oe=5E1FE5CEanother one for you
Another case of what “MIGHTABEEN” Johnno—— Twenty minutes trying to change a gear case that never happened —— gear ratio we had never tried before, which meant we didn’t have a prop that worked until Hetzel got out his angle grinder !Quote:

20’ Hodges CRISIS ——had just one shot at getting it right—— Shoulda gone for 18’ ! Was good for Parker, but too long for the tight Bristol course. Gave a good account of herself wherever she raced.Quote:

OK. So it’s not exactly Scream and Fly—— but then again fifty percent of the stuff posted here isn’t ?
