Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

Close encounters with a planer thicknesser yesterday . Something i never do is loose sleeves anywhere near the planer . Yesterday was the exception . Doing the fuselage for ARTHUR MOSTERTS Velden when I got caught up —- self preservation kicked in and i let the cashmere clog up the blades and switched it off with the left hand . Fortunate escape — maybe its time to stop using machines ???Wouldnt mind , but ive only had the damn thing three weeks ——[cashmere] Some would say it’s ARMLESS now anyway !!!!!

...once again...your one lucky s.o.b......

Better you are born lucky than beautiful——- did scare the crap out of me once i thought about it . Day before i lost a glove in the big drilling machine . Waiting for number three — but i am super careful and vigilant at all time . Been fernagling BENNY ROBERTSONS F1 BOAT . Number two is up to muster —number one fell flat on its face. As my learned pedagogue was heard to utter —-CAN DO BETTER WILSON !!!!!!!

Had a most hectic day——-got fitted with a new hearing aid . They couldn’t believe it was four years since i last threw the previous one into the log burner with a handful of orange peel—- nearly blew the bloody doors off the burner when the battery burned . I suppose they must be midget lithium batteries .turning cold-wet and miserable — really marrow chilling weather —- kind that kills off old timers without anyone noticing .

Damn Jackie no wonder you kept saying what !!! Seriously you know you could’ve stayed in Florida with somebody even I’ve got a room that you could’ve stayed in it’s getting rough here too down in the low 70s high 60s at night and seriously warm during the day. You know you have a lot of friends over here. Come back soon 🙏🍺
