Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

Nice to know you got friends Rich----Just had lunch at the pub with daughter Sam, she stopped by to pick up the OFf trophy -----looks like I can bring the minor trophies in with the luggage traveling business class.
First time I ever flew anything other than cattle class.
Looks like the meeting in Tavares has really taken off-----great to see it being so well supported, I know these events don't just happen, a few people put in a lot of effort to make things run smoothly.
Mark should have his boat finished in time for the Miami boat show. Maybe then we can think about getting the " Cosworth " up and firing on all eight. I have two boxes of parts here that Malcolm TYRRELL put together from Jill Duckworth. Be nice to know the project was under way.

To our friend "Powerabout" -----love most of your posts but tread carefully when you mention EBOLA, and just pray to God it never ever hits a cruise liner-----that's a killer that has to be contained.

Pill and cuppa tea time-----talk tonight. J.

Just a quickie tonight, stayed up too long watching TV.

Dear old Oscar P. Has had a death threat ( according to his councillor ) should he ever reach the hallowed halls of the Pretoria nick, why am I not surprised?

100 Sherpas and mountain climbers have been killed by freak avalanches in Tibet, one of the reasons I stay in my shop most of the time.

Two more weeks and the world of offshore boating descends on Key West, Rich tells me Disney bought it for a cruise liner stopover point-----very interesting, dreams await, MYGGWY . J.

...Jackie, those weren't "Mountain Climbers" per se.....they were tourists. Damn shame either way, but there are way too many that don't have a clue...and way too much money to blow...that get themselves into such situations and put good hardworking locals into a dangerous situation.

Just my take on the tragedy of course.

By the way. Since everyone here is going nuts over the way the hospital in Dallas as well as the CDC are handling the Ebola crisis here in Texas I also have decided to isolate myself to prevent an unfortunate event occurring here on the homestead. I will be on the back flats out in the salt grass of Galveston Bay catching Redfish and Flounder and avoiding all human contact...other than my girlfriend of course!

You are absolutely right about the tourists getting the locals killed, well heeled idiots.
You got room for one more. .??
Im a damn good cook and one of the top baby sitters in the world, if you decide to take off and go fishing for flounders and stuff.

Did give it a read Bob, but it looks like an overkill, but better that than doing nothing. If there was ever a way of spreading a disease, the cruise liner is the worst way to do it, no need for bullets to wipe out a continent. Let's pray it never comes to that, I got a golf tournament to see to.

Betty Baker has booked,- 14 Spots for tee times, 12 are definite , so only the next two to apply will be actually playing with the Off group.

...you are more than welcome to come aboard and go catching with me anytime Jackie! Good friend hit one of my spots on a local Bayou yesterday and stayed on a school of Trout for over a mile! Said all he had to do was watch the shrimp jumping out of the water as they moved up stream.

Wish list is nearly complete, just have to "go fishin"----- seen trout and fly fishing on TV documentaries and read Hemingway on his big game stuff----been promised a trip this November, let's hope hurricane Godzilla is long gone when I get there and I get to tick another box.
As the poet said-"there is no time to stop and stare"----pull your finger out and just do it.

I know what you are saying, but I would not bet the farm on it just yet. They said the nurses that treated Thomas Duncan were not in danger of being infected, but now two are infected. The link that I posted above has been updated and corrected. Mexico has refused to allow the ship into their ports and the ship is now returning to Galveston Texas. You better believe that there is hysteria on that ship. The CDC failed on this one. This nurse, who is assumed to have come in contact with Thomas Duncan's bodily fluids, should have never been allowed to board a cruise ship. She should be in isolation with all the other that were close to Duncan. If, by chance, this nurse tests positive, everyone on that ship and all the crew will have to be under the microscope.

If there is any chance of Ebola being aboard, those passengers could be in on board for a very long time---------going nowhere!!,
AS AN ASIDE----do cruise liners dump the effluent in the ocean?

Looks like we got hurricane Godzilla? heading our way, should hit West Sussex the early hours of Tuesday -----already been upgraded to category two. No ordinary blow job then?

Parisians are up in arms at the nice new work of art parked outside the Louvre -thousands have protested saying it looks just like a dildo-------now just how would they know that?

See if they got anything new or old at the airfield tomorrow----could be a case of same old sh-t---different day.

gentlemen------get your rest-----MYGGWY,J.

I guess we need to find out if ebola dies after going through the grey and black water treatment and yes that then goes over the side

...it docks right around the corner from the Galveston Yacht Basin where the Bertram is docked and the Fountain hangs in the slings. One good thing about her comeing back to Galveston is that the University of Texas Medical Branch hospital right around the corner from the cruise ship docks has a level 4 contagious disease lab on premises. Hope those folks are safe and she isn't contagious....and she doesn't mess up my fishing.

As I thought-----just a different day!
Bought a bucket of long screws and a tin of lime wax polish, last of the entrepreneurs huh?

Crazy temperature here for mid October 19/20. And no sign of change. Let's hope I can say the same Wednesday After Godzilla rears it's ugly head.

Took the concept tunnel hull to bits -----it's got around ten coats of wax on it and it still looks like the dogs dinner. Will try and get it to Tavares, if it don't sell I can always get Gary to buy it, he likes to collect my stuff. Talk tonight.

Keep hearing rumours somebody has been trying to get an alternative off shore series running----it does beg the question WHY.?
There are only about 20 Boats participating in the US series anyway, it needs another series like I need a hole in my head. Surprised that nobody did their homework before jumping off'n the cliff.
One race in Sarasota does not make a series.
The world is in conflict with the radical Muslims at the moment, but to most colonials, anyone coming from the Middle East or Africa or of Arabian origin is a Muslim first and foremost, that they dare to upset the status quo in the offshore powerboating fraternity goes beyond the pale and cannot be tolerated.
back in the days of Slo-mo and Miss England, Gar Wood, Seagrave and Campbell, it didn't take a genius to work out that rich people with powerful friends were behind these efforts-----nothing has changed. Take the Americas Cup----starting point today is around the billion mark--- that would make even the wealthiest oil rich Arab sneeze---but the old moneyed colonials just let the children play and sign the cheque which will not even dent the balance.
I'll lay a pound to a pincha there's more old money in the US than there is new money in Qatar and Dubai ----so the Arabs should not get into a pissing contest with the " Colonials"
lets not forget Bill Gates and Steve Jobs ----their not short of the odd shilling or two.

Now, if the Arabs had put up a few mill prize money, a few hundred thou, appearance money, all hotel and travel expenses, they may have gotten somewhere, especially when you look at what a competitive rig costs today, but don't insult the intelligence of the organisers and competitors who run ." THE ONLY SHOW IN TOWN"

Heard Steve Curtis and the Qatar teams been asked not to appear at Key West, shame!!!

and without the Arabs with their US oil money there would be no F1 either

That applies to F1Cars, F1 boats and F1camels, from horses to Harrods, the Arabs own them lock stock and Muslim .
When these guys want something----they just go out and get it.
They liked shopping at Harrods------they bought it.
Mahmoud liked horse racing----so he bought it, not much breeding stock that the Arabs don't own along with the best stables in the world.
Not many US citizens could tell you the difference between Syria, Iran and Iraq -----or Qatar and Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but watch out, you may be drawing your wages from them before long.
All it would take is for the people to not use their cars for one week, no oil revenue and they'd be screwed.

Why the hell didn't they talk to the APBA or the UIM or the offshore organisers.?
To run an alternative series in Americas own back yard was well out of order.

Did hear Walt D. had purchased four pennorth of Key west for cruise liner parking purposes, maybe he will offload Disney France to the Arabs----can't see anyone else wanting it, has never made a red cent profit--------it's the only one that has always run at a loss.
Maybe the Arabs could buy another sun and stick it above Paris, that would turn it round, whaddya think,
Bon continuation pour Le weekend,MYGGWY.J.

OK Rich----on reflection it would have to be------I've only heard one side of the story, maybe you could fill us in as to the reasons for the ban at KEY WEST then.

Now here's a blast from the past, Ritchie Powers working on the motor (silo, methinks) me in the black, any one recognise the guy on his knees, has a Butler type haircut----but he would have been taking The piccie. Could be Byers or even old man WILLABEE ----he came in handy at times

You look younger than Richie in that shot

Attachment 308159Attachment 308159

Same two kids 45 years down the road-----taken outside Ritchies shop just about a year ago.
He's due for another visit next month.

I believe the ban stems from the discovery that Stevie was listed as the president of the new organization when it incorporated last spring...After that became public, last week, he resigned the position.

Sorry Rich, there has to be more to it than that. The boat world is too compact to start a new organisation and for it to remain unknown for six months, if the UIM&APBA knew about, so did a lot more people.
You don't put a restraining order within a three mile radius of Key West on a seven times world champion and four Qatar off shore rigs because Steve was made president of a breakaway organisation last spring.
My own guess and what little information I have is that the establishment boat got rocked when Sarasota were only offered a year by year contract instead of a three year deal. Stevie stepped on a few tootsies by offering an alternate deal. (Does that sound about right Rich ?)

There have been a fair few " Upstart" bids in the powerboat circles, very few are ever successful.
Putting the bloc on participants is not the way to go. There aren't enough of them to do that.
Get round the table, discuss, plead, negotiate---you have to move a long way down the line before you throw your dollies out of the pram and call the Sherriff.

Steve Curtis is well respected in offshore circles, especially by other drivers, why the sledgehammer to crack the nut?
You are usually fairly up to date on these matters Rich, am I missing something here?

You're not missing anything Jackie, except that for decades OPT/SBR/SBI has been Offshore's immovable object. Generations of other organizations and racers have tried to negotiate with that august body and ended up either wearing a barrel and stuck with an obscene bill, or walking out of the "give and take" meetings realizing that they were meant to give and SBI meant to take. I respect that SBI is a business first, last and always and has endured while an enormous amount of opponents have long given up the ghost. But in the end it has been bad for the sport since it initiated as the first major breakaway from the APBA/UIM back in 1987 and has subjected the racers who follow it through two bankruptcies, an ever diminishing PR and TV image, and a stranglehold on their beloved Key West.

I applaud Stevie for at least trying an alternative, but he is being villified by the sport's current generation of interchangeable lemmings and minions for daring to look outside the lines.

Nuff said....

Believe that's called De-je-Vous Rich, been there, done that-----the road to hell.
Think you can do a better job than the establishment, get the unmitigated support of the drivers, spend your life and a fortune on creating a series .
You actually believe what your trying to do, work all the hours God sent, no support from either RYA or UIM----finally get the makings of a series, only to wake up with the stiletto buried between your shoulder blades. Lifelong friends become enemies, promises get broken along with your heart.
All I ever wanted was to make things better for every driver, use common sense and honesty but I rapidly found there wasn't much of that in the powerboat world.
Then Parkinson came along with £500 towards the telephone bill, (found afterwards Mercury paid it)
he got heavily involved with his PR company JBS.
For 10 years FONDA was the most successful series anywhere in the world, one of the reasons was, we had A FORMULA, 2 litres, -----yes, Mercury came in and did a lot of the funding.

It came to an end when OMC threw in the towel and Velden, San Germano, and Fraulin had nowhere to go---so they kicked and stamped until Parkinson said " enough, were out of here" the UIM had played dirty politics for the last two years and we were tired by then, sick of the in fighting.

They took over FONDA , lock stock and-------

I understand perfectly what Steve Curtis is suffering right now.

Spent the weekend sprottling about finishing off stuff that I had started and left half done all over the hog market. The concept boat never did come up to muster in the finishing department so I stripped all the wax polish off'n it, smoothed and varnished it and made an alternate breakaway cockpit-----it's all nonsense of course, but it keeps me out of the kitchen.

Attachment 308262

Another shot of the Turbine----whether or not it makes Tavares remains to be seen.

"Concepts" are a bit like Apple Crumble ------If you can't make a perfect apple pie the way Mom TRIED to make it -------then bake an apple crumble !!!!!!! .its impossible to spoil it.
Somebody once asked me why i didn't make model boats,---------answers quite simple really -------i wouldn't have a clue how to go about it, and as for "Scale Models" -----i would not know where to begin either.
Godzilla wasn't even a "Puff" in the end---typical autumn day, wind blowing the leaves about -----just like its done for thousands of years, watery sunshine, but a drop in temperature. Indian summer is over, time to put on another cashmere, best thing to keep you warm. Shall be wearing two of them from now on, although on really cold winter days---[anywhere below zero, i shall don four cashmeres----two of em will be roll neck.
I dont do colds or flu or flu jabs, always got two hankies in my pocket ,my sainted mother always called them "Snot Rags"but she was an uncouth old biddy at times!!!!!!! in fact , she was an uncouth old biddy ALL the time.
Off to the "Fish Factory" in Littlehampton for lunch, fancy a plate of Haddock and chips, [ fries to colonials] and mushy peas or farty beans, whatever takes your fancy at the time.

See that dear old Oscar got five years in clink----better than finding the bugger innocent which was always a chance depending on what side of the bed her worship descended.
At one time I feared he would walk, as it is, his lawyers will be clamouring for a re trial and instant release as it would be a little uncomfortable for the poor chap having to do stir.
Off to lunch-----will have a look at the channel and see what the breakers are like, give you a shout later.

The channel had a real nasty chop on it, the IOW ferries had been cancelled, blowing a force seven, you wouldn't want to take the canoe round the Needles in that weather.
Settled for "moules ET frites"."mussels and fries" for lunch. excellent fodder, quaffed with a pint of courage, best bitter, slid down a treat!

The judge clarified Oscar P's sentence tonight-----just 10 months in the actual pokey + 4 years open house arrest in his own home------nice one OZ -----
Well, it was only a small gun, and it only took 4 shells, and she didn't suffer, and let's face it----there would have been unnecessary hardship had he been banged up for life. Looking back, it could only have happened in South Africa.

So let's get it right from the start.
Killed girl friend with four bullets
Not guilty verdict-----ONLY manslaughter
Wait for a month to deliver verdict.

10 months in the nick
Then go home for four years, but take three years off cos he's sorry. Funny stink around?
Wonder how OZ sleeps at night?
There was me thinking the bugger might have got away with it!!!

Winds died down a bit----nothing untoward in the way of weather, typical October day.
Taking the Lexus in for a new front bumper (fender) just have to bite the bullet and grin and bear it.

Got out one of Jilly's old suitcases to start packing the golf trophies in-----shudder to think what the weight will come out at!
The day beckons, time to rock------get back to you lunchtime.

Didn't get back to you lunchtime, main reason being, had bugger all to say about anything.
Fell into a mad fit of depression after being handed a bill for a $1,000 for the new bumper, was a time when you could run into a bloody donkey and cart and not even do ten bobs worth of damage.
if you open the door without protective gloves nowadays you run up a bill of $500. The worlds gone bloody crazy. Seriously thinking of taking up religion, reckon I'd make a damn fine Cardinal or Archbishop, or maybe a Rabbi.
My sainted mother would positively "Spin" in her grave-----during the war, she used to send me to chapel on a Sunday, but I was certain it was just to get me out of the house whilst she entertained one of my 27 Canadian uncles, rather than learning the scriptures from the knee touching old vicar, who had a penchant for the communion wine.
Sod my old britches if it's not Thursday again tomorrow, car boot sale at Ford airfield .
Seem to have lost my Midas touch these days, haven't bought anything of note for a month or more. Maybe strike gold tomorrow, Sandman said hi ten minutes ago, MYGGWY.J.

Just a different day-----pretty much the same old bric-a-brac, managed to forage out a half pint tin of varnish and a roll of silver tape.
Opened the varnish to find it was an opaque milky latex looking liquid like you would feed a Tom cat.
Reading the destructions it says " clean brushes in warm soapy water "-----what the hell sort of a mix is that?
I must have led a sheltered life methinks, I hope they still use varnish brushes, maybe they stopped using 'em when I wasn't looking!!
Had some good news this morning-----sold " THE GIESHA GIRL" to a lady of impeccable taste who resides in California. That kinda put a smile all over my face, and has made the day seem a whole lot brighter.

Started to pack the suitcase that will transport all but the main golf trophies across the pond. In and out like a bloody yo-yo with no sight of them fitting in without at least a skirmish, if not a full scale war. Enjoy the rest of the day.J.

Wonder if "DONMAC" has started clearing up for the winter.
Could he possibly make an appearance at Tavares?
Whats the chance of old man Willa making a grand entrance?
Maybe Stickle will Make the journey!
What about Benny from Canada?

This has got the makings of a good party somewhere along the line-------I can feel it in my water

Seems a long time since Steve Pinson was around.

Any one out there ever used water based varnish? You must have to put a hell of a lot of coats down before you get anywhere near a finish!

Are the Kitson/Hunt combo giving a rendition ----can any old fart join in?

Im badly in need of some of you to talk to me, anyway folk get pissed at me alter a while, so if you feel like joining in ---------Be my guest, in the meanwhile goodnight and god bless, MYGGWY.J.

Right helpful lot of old farts you lot turned out to be. Ask a simple question, complete bloody silence, not even a sex and travel comment, you need poking with a " Tazer"!
Miserable dark old December morning and it's only October ----forecast rain, lock the shed door sort of day, creative thinking sort of day, Jilly's off to the theatre this afternoon, not my scene, had enough culture to last me a lifetime. Car boot is about as much culture as I need these days.


Asked the skycap at Orlando airport for Alamo ---
He touched his cap and said " The car hire people"?
Told him I thought I might just have missed Davey Crockat !

Well I didn't have much to tell you today----hope your weathers better than mine.

Dog woke me up early this morning, so I pass along a good morning to you crusty old man. Weather is beautiful on this side of the pond; cool nights and delightful days. Cheerio.

You never did say whether or not you might bring your old hunting buddy to meet the DOFFS (dopeys).
Dog woke me up bit reminded me it's only four years ago since we had two golden retrievers, two cats and two cars!!!

Have you ever tried getting the Welsh Wizard to attend the OFF Lasse says he is on facebook.I still have a Hendrix prop that would make both those OMC Molinaris go that T2x and Rodger Hinsdale have.A guy in Texas asked me if I would sell it but I said no thanks.I am going to put a video on You Tube that I took of the time we went out in the Still Crazy boat at Cadillacs.!
