Due to have the lugs cleared of wax and all other impurities today at St. Richards in Chichester. Have a brand fire new hearing aid awaiting insertion —- just four months to the day since i was first “interviewed”. Just like justice —- slow moving wheels !!!!!!!

The pronunciation just depends on which English language you’re speaking the original or colonial. Glad to hear that you’ll be able to catch every word instead of every other word now Sir Jackie !!!!! The rag boat looks wonderful and you have to do is catch one of those Newport Yachtys With a full purse and believe me about half of them to carry purses. Best always amberjack

NEWPORT YACHTIES are way above my pay grade Charlie ——would be happy to produce ANYTHING they ever even dreamed of —-if i only knew how to find ‘em. Next up is a trio of next years front runners in the AMERICAS CUP . NEW ZEALAND ——-ARAB EMIRATES —— and of course the BRITISH ENTRY —-INEOS.
After that [ which i have already started is “SIR MAX AITKINS” ——MERRY GO ROUND ——-AND LADY AITKINS——-GYPSY GIRL. !!!!!!!!!
FIRST time in my life i have plenty of time ———-so i should get everything in “APPLE PIE” order long before the due dates . Just before the COWES/TORQUAY in August for the AITKIN trophies . And well into 2024 for the AMERICAS CUP BOATS.!!!!!

The lughole clear out went well—— [both of them]———About a twenty year build up of wax and crud in the Left. [had a mastoid when i was 14]. There is a hole behind my ear which has been a constant source of amusement to all my grandkids and great grandchildren.
HELL FIRE —GRANDAD JACK REALLY DOES HAVE A BIG HOLE IN HIS HEAD !!!!!!!!!
So naturally i tell them of the time when Jerry landed in Bradford and chased all the kids across the moors !!!!!! We hid in the quarries and caves , nearly got away with it — but an SS Sniper caught me in his sights ——of course ,i saw the bullet coming—— but couldn’t get my head out of the way quick enough !!!!!!!!!!
Where’s the bullet now Grandpa ———“AH—WELL—NOBODY KNOWS —- that’s why the holes there —so it can get out without hurting me “ !!!!!!

You have to admit it sounds a whole lot better than “ i had a mastoid when i was a kid “. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like another chapter in the book

That might be what’s known as a grandpa tail or just a plain old Tall tale. They probably belong as another chapter in the book

Gene Please post pictures of the Langham as Jackie is calling it when you Place It in its place of honorarium Or a salad bar as you see fit. Us mere mortals can only hope to be honored by one of Jackie’s creations when we achieve racing Note-oriety as you have. Best wishes amberjack Charlies O’Neil

Afraid i never did make it back into SUPERSHED yesterday. Was “all of a tremble” for the rest of the day.
For weeks now i have been feeling like i was permanently “drunk” or inebriated . When it became really bad ,i left the machines that can hurt well alone .
Apparently the equilibrium or balance kit is situated in the ear drum and is quite a delicate piece of equipment. [i do not do delicate—it’s not in my vocabulary].

Did send a bunch of piccies to “THE NEWPORT YACHT CLUB”—- nothing yet, but then again i never expected to !!!! Like i told you before Charlie — i just enjoy doing my concepts, main reason for doing ‘em is to keep arthritis at bay and the little grey cells alive and active. Everything else is a bonus. If someone buys one —thats good —-if it doesn’t come up to muster then it goes “under the bench”.
Woke up clear headed but “wobbly”, so i won’t be doing the workshop today. Thought i might do another chapter for THE BOOK. Don’t usually get the time to sit down and scribe, but today i might just do that.
Can’t have a shower today as the doc does not want tap water anywhere near the newly cleaned out lugs ——first time in years i will be having a DIRTY DAY.

Will see if i can get my son Mark out to Byblos — maybe you can drop him an email ‘bout the time of your. arrival ——-if the Bertram is dead on it’s feet — then Caddy’s place is the graveyard for it!!!!

[jackiewilson]

Next concept to come up—-if anyone wants it ——speak now or forever hold your peace [or piece]???

[jackiewilson]

Managed another 1,000 words [half a chapter for the book].
must be somewhere near the 120,000 mark—so, I’m not far off where i need to be before i start thinking seriously about getting publication .
Needs to be done before that hooded old bastard in the hood —him carrying the scythe over his shoulder starts sniffing around again .
Still feel like last weeks warmed up dish of cold porridge— they did say it make take a while before things improve .
At least the hearing is a little better —- i only said “YUOWHAT ‘ ​three times today .
