And when you are in the Keys, with nothing to do, you can walk from the Atlantic to the Gulf. And stop at a few bars along the way.Quote:

You know what——- I have a shop full of stuff just like that——- oh, that looks nice——- do I need it —— no. Do I want it ??? Might come in useful one day! Maybe give it to a friend for Christmas! Only to get it back again ten years later. It’s gone the full cycle—— except for the last stop.Quote:

Being of sound mind, with a modicum of wit and hilarity, thought I might call the little 16’ Schultze
“ HARD ON”. —— Cyril Benstead was commandatore of the !
LMBRC at the time and flat told me “ THERES NO WAY YOU CAN RACE A BOAT WITH A NAME LIKE THAT,!!
Was many years later I saw the justification for Cyril’s concern !
Can just imagine our Scottish commentator Jimmy Baird
Here comes JACKIE WILSON with WEE HARD ON,
Implications were endless——- ?

Whilst we do have a couple of hundred tulips of different colour dotted around the garden——— we don’t have anything like this.
First glance I thought it was a DUTCH tulip farm—— but it’s actually in England.
I get surprised by something every day!
Now I’m guessing that Karin has something to do with “Her Indoors” at Gene’s Place?Quote:

Simple job of fitting replacement, turned into a two day nightmare.
Damn thing gets delivered tomorrow——— guess who gets to fit it ? ( Due to Coronavirus of course).
I guess we all have had lives since we gave up boat racing. Besides work I took up snow skiing and tried a couple of other motor sports. I found that I couldn't financially support running go karts competitively due to the cost of tires. One weekend of racing could burn through 3 sets. Tried motocross but found that it was a sport for guys younger than my then 33 years. Eventually by way of training for ski seasons I just kind of fell into bicycle racing. I wound up racing bicycles for about 13 seasons. Cost a lot less than motor sports but took a lot more time. Takes a lot of miles and a lot of hours to get the ability just to hang on in the peloton. Funny thing was I got hurt a lot worse bicycle racing than I ever did boat racing.
...man o' man...13 seasons!...so is it true that it makes you sterile?:smiletest:Quote:

My Sainted Mother always maintained that a bicycle was powered by “Britches arse steam”—— as a youth, I once cycled up to the Lake District for a long Easter weekend——— It rained from the Friday we set out — until the Monday when we started back for home.
We camped by a stream, just north of Kendal—— remarked on the quality of the �� water—- on the Monday we walked further upstream ——- found a dead sheep floating and bloated—— last time I ever went camping——- halfway home - my mother came looking for the four of us, put the bikes in the back of the van !
Ignominious way to end a holiday——- two months later I purchased my first motor bike—— never had aching leg muscles again—— or saddle rash!!!!
Apparently not. I fathered my daughter during my bicycle racing years 12 years after my FIRST vasectomy.Quote:
