Happy birthday Jack!
Happy Birthday Jackie!
WATCH THIS space —-leaving any time soon —- house is empty —great news Lizzie tested all clear for covid at lunchtime —-at least thats three more coming. I am supposed to feel excited —do i ??? Not particularly — but i will pretend to be as so many people have put so much effort into the event.
I will be very surprised [and disappointed ] if my grandson Craig doesn’t turn up !!!!!
i have been pitting wits with the three boys since they were knee high to a grass - hopper.
Lost out on that one —Craig never showed - but James Sheppard turned up.—all went well - did a speech — broke down a couple of times in the middle ——-believe me -i have early piccies of boat racing i never knew existed .
All tuckered out — need to sleep -talk tomorrow
Thanks Mark— had a great party.
NAH—i just got great taste.Quote:

Made a mess of the speech—- wasn’t in the right frame of mind to deliver it anyway— froze—wept—all in the five minutes it took to deliver it .
have more birthday cards and presents than i ever had in my life before —- if i had known i was going to get this many presents i would have hurried up a bit instead of dawdling.
tell you what though— im slowing dawn to crawl to reach a hundred . I have to pace myself these days. I take a walking stick with me these days to go bird-chasing. Like the old birds with Parkinson’s best ???????

Just a few of the many cards i received Thank you everyone.
Had visits from my Daughter and husband — sister — thought i crapped out on the speech— seems it turned out not too shabby after all.
Will start posting some of the old pictures from yesteryear — im pretty certain i can find something of interest for everyone.

On november 3rd — i sent a parcel to Indianapolis.
UPS collected it —- here’s the receipt —. To this day-it has not arrived .
In spite of having tracking numbers and me asking why—- nobody wants to know .
common sense tells me —go with a reputable carrier —- bite the bullet — pay the price —- so if anything goes wrong i will be covered . WRONG.
THEY KNOW NOTHING ?????????? What do i do ?????
I'd go speak to the guy that cannot spell Indianapolis in UPS office. And Jackie blank out your address.
Now you and i already know the guys IQ and Academic history is pure sh-te — but to go speak with him—- at my age? i dont have either the time or the inclination to have a meaningless conversation that wont get me anywhere —— telling someone they are a twat that cant even spell will not help. I can tell you that from bitter experience trying to educate idiots —— you can’t cure stupid .Quote:

Stancombe changed the delivery instruction to a "hold for pick up." That is why "at the front desk" appears on the proof of delivery. He had UPS hold it at one of their locations so that he could pick it up on 11/24/21. When there is a hold for pickup, you have to provide proof of identity before they will give you the package and then you have to sign for it. There is absolutely no doubt that he received the package. Now you have a brand new itch to scratch...Quote:

Time for my nap— i will sleep on it !!!! Do not want to call in the Wilson heavy mob just yet —- will give the lad a chance to explan.
It's the online sellers who create labels to get "credit" for shipment that bug the hell out of me. Then you have to wait up to 10 business days before they do anything about it. I won't buy anything from anyone in NYC or NJ anymore because I don't trust either the sellers or carriers.:mad:Quote:

I have never ever received a CREDIT for any shipment i have ever made —- i am not an on line Seller.
i was merely someone sending a parcel to a client .
Jackie - Here is the house at 1930 Randall Rd, where the scoundrel is alleged to reside.

Whoa there ease up a bit bobby Vee —— all i was doing was trying to find a lost parcel. Here we are calling someone a scoundrel before i even talked to him.Quote:

The guy received your package 10 weeks ago and has not contacted you or paid you. You can call him what ever you want, but in my book, a scoundrel seems to fit. I sent you the picture of the house so that the 'Wilson Heavy Mob, that you mentioned, can easily identify it.Quote:

Was something i did many moons ago in my formative years — wasn’t particularly valuable — or even that good to be honest. But i have never seen another one , so it is kind of unique. It’s very easily recognised . Told the guy i would even swop it for a bunch of R.C.Propellers . So its not as though we were not talking beforehand —- i still refuse to believe its anything other than a misunderstanding.
Wheels have been set in motion to solve the problem.
Here in the UK we have a group of MP‘s who think it’s „“COOL“ to go to work on a pushbike. So they do not pay rated cent towards the upkeep of the roads — not a single tax does a cyclist pay — we build cycle ways that cost billions —-now the HIGHWAY CODE [ UK‘S ROAD BIBLE] has decreed that cyclists should ride in the middle of the road and that motorists should give them the right of way .
Well good luck with that one —- most British motorists think the same way i do . So a few nudge and bumps soon had the cyclists screaming foul. After two days — all the motoring organisations want the rules changed . How about £100 fines for riding on roads equipped with cycleways for a start.
.???
HORSES are another of my pet dislikes —- they are lovely creatures in the movies — in the fields, out in the country and paddocks. on country roads they are a right royal pain the arse !!! Another non tax payer who should never be out on the road anyway without a man waving a red flag in front , another twenty yards behind waving another red flag.
Again , i do realise that HAY BURNERS sometimes have to travel on minor roads —- but they should never ever travel on a major road unless its in a registered tax paying horse box .
Most girl/lady/female /trannies or whatever seem to think roads were built simply to allow a nag to walk down in the company of another mule alongside, while aforesaid ladies nag at each other and make themselves as wide as possible , all the while thinking uk highways were constructed for the sole purpose of walking HAYBURNERS two by two.
another example of common sense going out of the window.
See Boris has gone to throw his weight at VLAD — like sending forest Gump against superman .
It does stop him being prosecuted and a fine or a jail sentence , all the time he‘s away he’s still out of Scotland yards reach. End of bitch for the day.
Ok people and old farts , problem sorted . All paid up and everyone’s happy. Did i not tell you that there would be a rational explanation for all the problems .
It’s a busy world we live in, every one is up to their fetlocks in problems —- small items of insignificance tend to be put on the back burner . It only takes a gentle nudge or reminder and the problem goes away.
Anyway , i will never be wanting for propellers for my concepts ever again — Thanks for those Michael.
Grand daughter Kate sorted the problem diplomatically of course . Alls well that ends well as the bard wrote .
No that was not the case Johnno—- granddaughter KATE SORTED THE WHOLE THING.Quote:

First camellia of the year — spring is just around the corner and the garden will bloom again.
Jackie in 1980, and thereafter, did your life slow down and you took up the hobby of gardening?Quote:

After the Euphorie of a 90th birthday , i am finally coming down to earth. Was a very expensive birthday party but well worth it . Even though i said i did not want any presents —no one took a blind bit of notice . I can now wear my Sunday best cashmere sweaters for work. Received 3 more of the best quality which i can save for best and use the best for work.
This time of year i wear three at a time —when it gets really cold i put on a fourth. I received so much whisky [4 bottles of Canadian club and three single malts ] i wont have to buy any this month.
Sold an OCORINA to a lady —-packed it very carefully in a nice box all ready for posting and put it in a safe place . Lady enquired where it had got to . Knew i had put it in a safe place — but damned if i could remember where i placed it , turned the workshop upside down for two days . Spent two sleepless nights worrying about it . Finally asked Jill if she had any idea where i would put an OCORINA.. she said :sure i know, its in the box under the lampshade —right where you sit each evening . Price one pays for being an elder statesman!!!!!
Put another chapter in the book yesterday ——BOATBUILDERS IN THE 1970/S .—- 1,000words and a few piccies generally make up chapter . Book has 12 chapters up to now . I Look at all the folk out there [ex retired racers Richie Powers and Billy SEEBOLD ] and wonder if i should even bother .
I am nearly at MAKE UP YOUR MIND TIME .!!!!!!!!!!
Afraid SUPERSHED is in turmoil after my search for the OCORINA. Friday today and my task will be to do a few necessary alterations to the centre workbench. Then clean and sweep the whole shebang. It’s like the bottom of a baby’s pram— crap and biscuit crumbs .
also chucking out all the stuff i keep that „“might come in handy“ —things like a pair of biplane wings and a rolls Royce bonnet —- a second CCBB engine hood and radiator grill i never used —lake x watch tower i never got around to . Dozens of wheels i screwed up along the way. Theres always as MUCH DROSS left over from any project than i actually use . Lets face it —at my age -its never going to „“COME IN HANDY ONE DAY.“.

One of my grand daughters [Casey-named after Velden] is very artistic . She put together this framed thingamyjig. Brought a tear to my eye reading through it . I thought is that really me she was talking about ??? Two more presents today, JEFFREY ARCHERS latest book —OVER MY DEAD BODY. And the box of pictures hung up in the dining room at THE SPUR where they held my 90th birthday bash.
