Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

thanks a lot Gene -----the cam gear piccie came out well pixilated-----put the fear of God up me-------never should have asked.
Im already well into a "Concept" version of it anyway, this will have to do as a first time effort.
Will send an end of the day progress piccie------see what you think!!!

Jackie - I have no idea who FUJIMO is

Me neither Stavros -------I thought I might have known him back in the day, but he once told me we had never met.

Anyone out there know who "Fujimo " is-------would like to put a name to someone who we have a lot of contact with but still remains an enigma !?

[jackiewilson]

Its only a Bloody CONCEPT, ,!! Any comments???

OK!!!!

The stand is the best bit Gene, found it in the scrap brass pile at the scrapyard on Saturday morning, very Captain Nimmo I thought !
It was all done in a bit of a rush so I could get the shop cleaned up, you know me, get an inkling, the gears click , head down , arse up-------can't be much good, it only took me two days------12 hours------weighty old lump though, I wouldn't like to pay postage to the next town even!

Sad to hear David Bowie turned his toes up-----not exactly my favourite but the kids loved him to bits-----made me wish I had gone to Art School . I couldn't draw or paint for toffee, I thought they only taught painting, never realised what ART meant until I was turned 75.

Off to lunch with Jill's brother David at the Carvery in Bramber tomorrow-----getting out and about a bit more.

Parcel came from Roger Hinsdale in the second post------haven't had time to open it, and to be honest about it , her indoors had tidied up-----and I didn't remember until I was in bed.
Look forward to opening the box at breakfast-------many thanks Roger, much appreciated----

Got the medical insurance certificate through-----cover starts next Wednesday for a year-----put a bloody great dent in the savings-------really am spending the kids inheritance-----liked doing it so much I upgraded to business class for good measure. That's what I call "Positive Thinking".

On the verge of rambling so I'll say goodnight to the people, MYGGWY.J.

Somewhere in all this rambling I think the hidden message is thst you will be st OFF next year?

[jackiewilson]

Me,? Doing hidden-----whatever gave you that idea Rich, no doubt about it------I have the insurance, the permission of the kitchen goddess------all I need is a fair wind, good health, and I'll be at Tavares like a long dog! Probably taking the odd "Concept" or two for good measure.

Just a week tomorrow and this years adventures begin-----a Carribean cruise to kick off and a lake Garda trip later in the year. I'm sure Jilly has loads of fun planned!

Starting today, it's clean up time-----shops like a pig sty-----time to muck out!

[GENE LANHAM]

Rich-----Jackie and I have reached the age that "we don't buy green bananas'--but we are both committed to be be there----

Hey Gene, you think Rich is ok ?------hidden message "thst" you will be st off next year. We were talking Tavares THIS year weren't we. I been looking for Rich's hidden message-----have you cracked it yet ?
Does that mean that we have to GUM bananas to pulp -----so we just buy overripe ones we can Suck to death?

Roger, huge thank yous for those perfectly formed propellors----a work of art in themselves-----
just seen the PUGHIE on Facebook -----don't quite know what you did to it but it's a different animal to the one I sent you, the finish is remarkable-----it really does look "the biz".
I bow to your superior photographic talents ! Many thanks for making one of my "CONCEPTS" very acceptable.
If that means you still like it--------can I cash your Cheque now.?

Still need Rich To confirm he still likes the "CONCEPT" he commissioned me to do 15 months ago, only then will I cash his cheque.

Got a good morning in at the shop, started on the clean up, then spied the "THEORY OF EVERYTHING " looking neglected on the second bench------spent the next two hours making a suitable stand, which looks pretty amazing------once I've stitched it all together I'll post a piccie or two.
Did a bit more on the Liberty--------polished the mount------stuck the old motor on top------really does look pre--prohibition-----needs a few water ways and we'll soon be there.

So endeth the ramblings for today, get a good night in folks, I will. MYGGWY,J.

Sorry, Jackie---American humor???? I think George said is first, since green bananas usually ripen in three or four days--

I love colonial humour Gene-------my thinking had gone off the bubble-----won't happen again!
Bob Hope ,W.C. fields, George and Gracie, Abbot and Costello,Roseanne, Lucy, Rowan and Martin, some great humour has come out of the USA! With never a swear word needed.
Unfortunately you would be hard pushed today to find a film that didn't have foul language as the norm! God knows I'm not a prude, there's a time and place for everything and yes I would give up my seat for a lady , or an older person,(not many of those around today).

This is is another of my crazy concepts-----the Swiss thingumyjig------ the Big Bang.
