...in amberjacks defense jackie, i think he just recently discovered this site. he's the new guy here...;)...
it was the day after the derby I tripped on an ice cube going to the refrigerator to make another mint julep so I cannot help be held accountable for my misspellings Ramblings and out of sequence meandering memories. I think I remember this guy from CypressRamblings and out of sequence meandering memories. I think I remember this guy from Cypress Gardens when I was a kid My younger brother skied at the Garden Center summer of 67 and 68. He also flew a kite there. He was on the University of Miami ski team. Daniel O’Neil RIP. So check this both of youQuote:

David at his office looking out over Biscayne Boulevard. Last time I was Down there to see him in probably 2008 and I ran into a Guy RadianoWho I think was the service manager at the time. I believe this was just before TNT took over the large barn there at the marina.Quote:

In the centre of CHICHESTER is THE GLOBE theatre and its 500 car parking area — travellers [gypsies] have moved in mob handed and parked their SUV’s and super new caravans all over the place . About fifty of them—-complete with washing lines —offsprings and dogs .
Now law abiding citizens have to pay around £2-50 an hour for parking !!!!!! Each one of the Gyppos takes up four parking places —-will not pay anything !!!!! Cannot be issued an eviction notice for five days [british law]. Now if i exceed my parking time by five minutes , i will be fined £100 —duh !!!! Now does that make sense to you
Why is this of any relevance ? It’s where the jabbing centre is.
No that sounds like any Wally world over here on a Saturday afternoonQuote:

Been saying for a while now the worlds gone feckin crazy. What more proof do you need ????
You can come back as whatever you want Jackie but unless you got a Legs Like Marilyn Monroe didn’t get much chance of getting over two dollars. And I don’t think putting on a dressOr a wig will help so just be happy you lasted this long had a good time and made as much money as you have. From a friggin colonialQuote:

Remember i told you i found a tunnel boat that i made years ago UNDER THE BENCH —-problem was —it was in English oak which does not start the PATINA process for at least 100 years . So i painted it red ——stuck a brand name on it and suddenly its a desirable animal.
Charlie —was only a facial abstract painting —-no legs -no tits —and Warhol never even made a half decent job of a likeness .. 190 mill ????? What with that and the feckin tin of tomato soup thingy —what the hell is the world coming to????????Quote:

Tried to do a deal with a Chinese firm but they don't have any sense of humour whatsoever — thought i was a wholesale marine dealer with a bottomless pit of a bank account ..
Afraid they just didnt understand the SEX AND TRAVEL bit
Been trying for years to get on an even keel and straighten myself up work wise . Failing miserably!!!!!
Saw some exciting stuff GARY STRAY is into with RIVA and Ferrari — not allowed to show any of the secret concepts [slow and painful death] .
i have one or two rather beautiful chunks of exotic woods that i save for something special !!!!!!
Thought i might do a couple or three RIVA ARISTONS—— only updated versions with a touch of artists licence .
Will come in around 20/22 inches and some 20lbs. Again wood finish . Exotically mounted . Punching well above my weight on this one . Just hope ambition hasn’t exceeded capability [or vicky-Verdi—IF you know what i mean].
might take me a while ,but i will try for the Bristol reunion .
Unfortunately price will be around $1,000 each [due to mitigating circumstances] „“ANYONE BRAVE ENOUGH TO PUT AN ORDER IN“ ????????

JUST TO GIVE YOU SOME IDEA OF THE QUALITY OF THE WOOD FOR STARTERS !
There will only be three of these — then I’ll throw away the idea.

This is one of a pair of SWITZER WINGS that got thrown under the bench years back==still have the sister SHIP ——-white SKYWAY MARINE 7000 . EARLY NEXT WEEK AT BEST .
Did bite off a whole mouthful with the RIVAS. kinda got my knickers in a twist again although i did sell the REDBIRD .
DO BELIEVE —i still have more wings than TED BOYD and RICH LUHRS put together.— here‘s three of em waiting for the Final whatever.Attachment 504805
...the ''fleet''...https://www.screamandfly.com/attachm...5&d=1652440458
NO-NO-NO-NO-NO Fuji, that is nowhere near „“THE FLEET“ —— once i have done a tad more fernagling to bring concepts up to muster , then i will put the fleet together . Last count of concepts in the making was twenty two. Have this dopey habit of nearly finishing something —realising i could do better and crack on with another . Before i finish even the first there are three on the go . Then i get an idea —start iT, and realise im going about the wrong way ad start another . So it goes on .Quote:

Have some serious sh-t for you to enhance Fuji !!!!! Remember the three RIVAS I TOLD YOU ABOUT -
YOU AINT NEVER GONNA BELIEVE THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was asked if it was really necessary to go back in the shop after dinner on a Saturday night. You are over ninety . I dont need reminding .
...agreed, no reminding needed for you j.w.:smiletest: ...out of pure coincidence on that subject, i just learned tonight that my brother-inlaw, who is only in his seventies, and a vietnam veteran, has to be admitted & looked after, by the veterans administration here, due to his advanced dimentia symptoms. sad. very, very funny guy. really like him. his name is jack...
Was nearly ten years ago when the only medium i had was firewood—even the motors — but i did try to find HARDWOOD . Should finish all three this next week , FINALLY !Quote:

How would an impressionist or a modern go about showing Italian craftsmanship ???? Then there‘s the presentation —- needed to be new and present day or even futuristic . So I’m giving you a first look at something i have been quietly fernagling for the last cheek or so . Must confess that English oak is the wrong choice for for a „“RIVABBATTE“ —- lets see what transpires ———-„“MUST DO BETTER“

This is what happens when you have a butterfly mind —-state of the shop close of play Sunday night.

Doesn’t look much for eight hours work does it?? Colour was all wrong —-still is, but im getting there . trick is to get a high lustre polish . It is really tactile.
Change from the usual routine today , going to meet my god daughter Georgina down at THE WITTERINGS . Small village at the end of a peninsula .[Englands answer to cape cod or Martha’s vineyard].
HAVENT clapped eyes on her for damn near thirty years , she buggered off to Australia and got involved with hay burners . Made a life for herself out there . I will post a couple of piccies . It’s a posh late buffet lunch on the beach. Gorgeous day for it ,wall to wall sunshine .
sod all work will get done today, going with Sam and Clive , Should be very interesting !!!!!
Chatting to an old acquaintance of yours on the weekend, Rory Power, OOD for the Thailand race I just did.

Lovely get together with my god daughter Georgina . Some thirty years since i last saw her . Was only here For two days, flew straight in to Scotland for her brothers wedding ——then a 600 mile trip to sussex for a lunch with me . Flies back to OZ tomorrow crack-o-sparrow . Youngsters today do pack a quart into a pint pot .
Listening to her stories of delays and officialdom does not exactly make me yearn to travel again just yet. Give it a few months to settle down before i even start to think of a vacation.
