Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[GENE LANHAM]

Got the blood results back today.
Turns out the “Athritis” is running riot through all my joints.
I had already told them I wasn’t old enough to have arthritis .

Arthur Ritis? All of us over 85 know that gentleman. It only gets worse, Jackie---

Thanks Gene, just what I need. Most painful thing I ever had since the baby.
Used to think it was just old folk and “ Wuzz’s” that suffered from ARTHURS.

Happy new year to my friend “Rotory John” Sheldon.
I know you did not receive the tunnel boat I sent you, because I did.
Would appear Fedex did not have a contact telephone number——- so, in their wisdom, they sent it back to sender. Now how about that for quick thinking——— Lightning reflexes——- present day thinking——- using all the up to date technology. AND IT TOOK LESS THAN TWO MONTHS.
Bet a pound to a pincha Kit Carson never had that problem with the Pony Express ——— Or Dale Robertson with Wells Fargo, ——- somehow the mail would have made it ,
Get-it off to you SAP John——— pease send telephone number via PM.

Jackie: I have had similar problems with Fed x. 2 days to send a package 150 miles in the same state. I won't use them if there is any way to avoid it. UPS or DHL provide much better service. I sent you a PM with my number. Thanks for trying.

jackie I was diagnosed with all three types of the s--t when I was 60! At 64 the pain isn't getin any better...just learnin to live with it! The lack of mobility is worse than the pain.

Well thanks Gary,——- you just filled me full of “No Confidence”———- you should get the quack to give you a shot of Morphine and Steroids———- THE HAPPY JABBY—— .
Result is a sore arse but you can get out of the armchair without the use of a forklift.
Needed to drill a couple of holes in a project———- couldn’t get my arms high enough to use the pillar drill. Walked out and locked the shop door.
Was on these 1500 mph pain killers last week———- found out I wasn’t supposed to drive with them——- it’s not just a case of being restricted——— red necks call it hogtied.
If Pruett had been alive, he would have found us one of his tribal cures——- smoked the pipe——- spun the weejie board pointer——- yelled a few ahoy u woys and I’d have gone home happy——— not cured mind you, but happy.
I once asked him if he ever used any of those O BEJOYFUL CURES—— he said, HELL NO , ICED TEA IS THE THE ONLY WAY TO GO!

In Colorado the quacks can prescribe medical Mary Juana-haven't tried it yet--sounds tempting------

Lol...

Here's a pic of old blue in her original form. She's mounted on the dyno stand ready to be put on the vertical shaft dyno. The arm sticking out to the right is the anchor for the throttle cable. I just thought it might help Mark to see this in making decisions about her restoration -- if any.

Mary Jane, Hot Pants Hoolahan, ———- on or off prescription——— if it removes the pain, then I’m a happy man!

[jackiewilson]

Thats a great shot——- if Mark keeps that picture in front of him, he won’t go far wrong. Thank you.

[jackiewilson]

My ma never told me there’d be days like this ? Bet you’ve all heard that one before.
