Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

i communicate with CHRISTIAN —email—18 days —still in the HOSPITAL——scary

[jackiewilson]

Gene—- I saw on Facebook yesterday that Christian was back home—— or did I read it wrong?
I know he’s had a rough passage—— surprised me, he was so fit and well the last time I saw him!
You got plans for the MALIBUSTANG any time soon—— don’t you move to Colorado around Easter?
Think the Seebolds move back to St. Louis around now.
Brits are banned from traveling to second homes.
New mandate here has banned sunbathing as unnecessary movement—— police are using “Drones” to monitor offenders.
Bet there will be a fair number mistaken for carrion crows, and shot clean out of the sky!!!!

Taken me all day to fashion out four Purdeys———- and the mount for back of the Pearl of the east .
Been putting it off for a while—— I was full of no confidence !
Was five o’clock before I realised it——- life really hasn’t changed that much for me—— it’s all the other buggers.

[jackiewilson]

Maybe I was right to self isolate—— Another 800 fatalities yesterday—— although I do think the authorities are screwing the figures.
They count every death as a Coronavirus victim——- even those run over by a bus, and the family of four, lost in a house fire.

Trying to do the right stuff and be responsible. I found a good mask that had been bought for a painting project years ago. Wore it to the store a couple of times. Every time I wound up sneezing and feeling like my eyes were full of sand. Come to find out that the mask even though "new" had been sitting in the package so long the foam strip on the nose bridge had broken down. Scrubbed it off put on a strip of tape and it's all good.

Kids today simply do not understand the adage “he who helps himself” ???
Was another bad day in England —- going close to a thousand dead—— and we still have folk who don’t believe there’s a problem !!! They’re called “ KNOBHEADS” !
On the bright side—— I got the three Purdeys and the Afghan Elephant cannon, . and the gun rack done and dusted.
Stocks are Brazilian mahogony and came together nicely—— when the lots all stitched together , I’ll give you a call.

Sunbathing in your own backyard deemed "non-essential"? Drone monitored? That sounds over-the-top to me? WA state USA led the country in hot spots but are flattening the curve with social distancing. Fatality projections have been pulled back to 60% of their original numbers. However, both Boeing and Airbus have put everything "back on the trailer" so to speak because they have no clue how air travel will be in the future and are in the dark on the health of some of their very complex vendor supply chains. It was either put 30,000 on layoff or figure out how to socially isolate them? The same can be said about their supply chains.

Same thing happening here—- Trillions promised to everybody—- government paying you to stay home—— LOANS for small companies——- 70 million for charity shops that closed—— right now we’re in cuckoo land.
Only place they can get this Monopoly money from—— is you and me—- normal taxpayer—— they daren't go after Apple or Amazon —— they’ll just turn round and give ‘em the finger.
One thing for sure—— world as we knew it won’t ever be the same——— folk working at the end of a computer????? from home——- car not used for weeks—— wife doing all the cooking.
747’s for sale from $1000 a pop——- Gasoline 50 cents a gallon—— ????

Here's one for you...…….USA needs 25 billion by June to keep our postal service afloat, yet the assumption is that they plan to use the postal service to MAIL 2 trillion out to everyone? It's a mystery to me why they are poking along on the vaccine issue. They should be trying 50 things at once and we don't wanna hear anything about "next year". By the time they get a vaccine on the table, Covid19 might have mutated into a wimp (hopeful thinking, but all I have to depend on at the moment)

Again—- we keep getting thrown “Red Herrings”—— three weeks isolation??? —— now, it could be three months!!!!——- We don’t have a vaccine——- now we just discovered a group of kids in Oxford just happen to have found one——-
Er sorry —— that’s a test kit they discovered that gives the result in twenty minutes instead of the usual three hours.
Sorry-we didn’t reach the target of 100.000 a day——- but we did manage one thousand yesterday?
We are winning the fight——- only 923 died today——-?.
Italy on a bad day never had that many——-Easter coming up, with a forecast of good weather—— it’ll be interesting to see if the lid stays on the powder keg?

Abbott Laboratories (USA) has a testing device being approved by the FDA that churns out a positive test result in 6 minutes and negative results in 8 minutes.

Now, if I were to put that on Facebook— Uk government would tell us they have just found one that will do the same job in five minutes.
But lets be honest, if it doesn’t have FDA approval, it’s not going anywhere—- it’s like our BMA—- takes forever to make a decision—— and probably only has meetings every other lunar month, between four and five o’clock on a Tuesday , if it’s raining ?
Now they want to close down Heathrow completely ( probably open it up as a British Restaurant, with the seating two metres apart) due to only cargo planes using it.
Afraid I can only see bankruptcies coming in the future——- housing market will collapse—— car industry closing—— aircraft industry non existent ( Branson wanting a 40 billion bailout) !
NHS collapsing due to lack of funds—— but Boris still insisting the 150 billion HS2 railroad goes ahead.
Er, scuse me——- where is the funding coming from ???
As my sainted mother used to say “You cut your cloth, according to your MEANS”.

[jackiewilson]

Government are chucking this “ FURLOUGH “ money about like confetti—— what the hell is that all about ???? It’s a FECKIN LOAN—— it’s not a gift—— it has to be paid back—— and because it’s the bloody government——- you go to jail if you don’t pay—— bit like they did to that naughty chap, Big Al?—Capone ??? Another 1,000 casualties forecast for today—— not to worry, government is on top of it.
Shudder to think what’ll happen if the actually admit to having Nocontrol.
Our big problem is, there is not a single minister ever ran a business—— knows what profits and loss mean? ——- They know nothing—- nor have they ever done anything ——- straight out of Oxbridge with reams of documents to say how bloody clever they are——-ability to tell you 1753 x 3958 = whatever doesn’t mean you’re fit to rule!
Im sure they think that firing up the printing press and printing more notes is a sure fire way of finding
all the money they need.
