Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

How’s the toilet roll situation down on your manor Jackie?...Pretty much non existent up here in the Bristol badlands.Luckily we can still get copies of “The Sun” or the “Mirror” to fall back on....(Pun intended)��...

Nah! I’m -one of the few that doesn’t need any more than normal—— crapping habits haven’t changed at all—— still use three sheets per dump—— two rolls a week, one for each bogerootle

When a plentiful supply of bog rolls is of paramount importance——- I’m stepping off!!

Lots of coverage on FaceTime of the Tavares event—— nice weather to go with it, bit different from last November’s meeting.
I never got warm until after Christmas!
World has gone “Coronavirus” mad——all you can do is use a bit of common sense——-go with your gut feeling and trust your instincts.
Media is simply looking for the most outrageous headlines!
Of course it’s serious—— there will be dire consequences—- but it’s not helped by politicians world wide trying to make a name for themselves out of a crisis.
Spreading panic achieves nothing——- now anyone who coughs—- sneezes. —- or has a runny nose, automatically thinks they’ve got a dose of the dreaded Lurgy.
With the world in lockdown—— all sport cancelled——- borders closed—- aircraft grounded—- supermarkets empty—— gasoline down to ninety cents a gallon—— where are you going.
Maybe we might get back to talking to each other——- family get togethers—— kids learning to cook—- speak properly—— dress decent instead of the ragged arse, hole in the pants that hang down to knees .
who knows—- folk might actually talk to one another again!

Talked with Mark yesterday—— asked him what he was doing?—- Hes out on his boat with Craig and the grandkids—— parked on a sandbank in Jupiter!
My daughter Sam and Clive are there too——- swimming, while the grandkids are catching fish!
Its not all doom and gloom!

Guess what—— I have been allowed an hour in the workshop with a plastic bag over my left hand!
After forty minutes ——— the bag was buggered—- her highness was spitting feathers—- and that was the end of the first session——- need the gaffe tape!
But the precedent has been set ! Game on!

”KEEPING THE ARTHRITIS AT BAY”—A quote by Jackie

At least six more weeks till the snow melts in Colorado—and the trusty Benz needed some TLC

So what does an old retired boat racer do?

Had another session in the shop this afternoon——— nothing exiting—— was working on the concept of the Schneider trophy airplane engine . The Itchifanni, a six cylinder radial motor.
Year was 1932 ——— the ITALIAN entry was called COMO CLARA (after the famous red haired hooker that frequented the area around the seaplane hanger at the south end of LAKE COMO)
Sold the west Bend lathe to a man in China—— trouble is , I need a friend to help me dismantle it on to a pallet +——- problem is their dropping like flies——- this damned coronavirus caper isn’t going to help either
Buried two of “em last week——- have not got enough left to start burying them in pairs!—- on the same day!
