Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

...the three musketeers...nice piccie...

Still reeling from the shock, after the concept i gave CHRISTIAN TOLL to auction off for his BPBRC reached the staggering sum of twenty one hundred pounds sterling [£2100].
Didnt end there — STEVIE CURTIS’S MUM ANNE Ordered another one —— Miles Jennings another two and someone who’s name ive already forgotton another .
Moral of this story——- if you have one of my concepts , wait until ive popped my clogs —then cash it in, you could make a bundle .
decided today to start selling of some of my machines . 91 next month and common sense tells me its time to stop using machines that can hurt.
Almost forgot —- Told Christian i would give him another concept for the “COWES TORQUAY” — who knows , i might even get invited to “THE SQUADRON” for the annual dinner again.

Now there is a huge chunk of british power boat history in that piccie

That’s a little bit too much information Jackie I mean I used to get morning wood but I never popped in my clog. If you can do that at 91 God bless you 😎

Mentality of colonials never ceases to amaze !!!!!!!!
To “POP ONES CLOGS” IN LAYMANS TERMS—MEANS —DECEASED—DEAD—IS NO MORE—CEASE TO EXIST—NO MORE BLOODY USE—FINISHED—DONE —-end 0f !!!!!!!!!!
Has absolutely nothing to do with Crapping !!!!!
There are many variations of the kings English —- non more so than those afforded by the colonials FANNY ​being a prime example. Totally different rendition either side of the pond.

Its another “nose bleeder” today . Minus 5 forecast with snow. Rail strikes —-ambulance strike— nurses strikes.
Me— one things for absolute certain, i will not be performing in “SUPERSHED” today . !!!!!!!
might even see if i can write another chapter in the book.
KEY WEST . Now there has to be a couple of thousand words available somewhere to record the happenings of 2022 down in HEMINGWAYS old stomping grounds. Today seems like a good day to start scribing again .
i think i can conjure up enough narrative of the happenings in florida during the first two weeks of November.
Christian Toll was recording his meeting with ODELL at Marks place during the two day OFF event, might try and nail him down —- if i can squeeze a good tale out of him it’ll be a good start.
Plus i have Benny’s and Arthurs boats to pack. Think i will bring them indoors to parcel up and send. That way they should get them for Christmas.
It rained after the snow last night and the roads and pavements are like shot glass— nobody in their right mind would go outdoors unless they had good reason today.

where the BPRDC held its Christmas lunch .
If you are remotely interested in maritime history , then you should put this on your bucket list.
Well —-MILES JENNINGS is well known here—-that says it all doesn’t it.

Still learning

OK Jackie I got it!But you know we colonials are still learning the rudiments of the English language. Get a longer extension cord for your electric blanket so you can work out in the shed on days like this.That or maybe
You guys over there have never heard ofYou guys over there have never heard of building a fire building a fire🔥👍😎It’s always sunny in South Florida. But I guess it gives you anExcuse to visit some of your fantastic museums

Looks like Cadillacs backed off Charlie . My daughter BOO did drop the Decals and a couple of props off with Mark for you. Charlie—why dont you sell a couple of the concepts and have a good Christmas . Forget any payments . I just never realised you were not kidding . Make of them what you will my friend . Slate is clean .

Should I call your son Mark or your granddaughter I think I still have their phone numbers. Also Nonsense I made a commitment I’ll take care of it. So if I can hook up with your son or your daughter this month I have something for them to give to you.

Give Mark a call— he has them. He also knows all about you. Never realised that you scared the crap out of Caddy. Daughter is back home now —she was on a 10 day vacation .talk to you PM.

...holy moly...

Finally got Benny and Arthurs concepts away .
Jesus wept but DHL certainly know how to charge for a parcel. 10 kilos [22lbs] cost over $100 to take to Jacksonboro NC. Plus nearly $60 for 4 kilos [9lbs] to Monaco.
If i could walk on water, it would be cheaper to strap the buggers on my back and just run over.
—these are the two concepts of Arthur and Benny.
already putting the finishing touches to the next COWES/TORQUAY trophy.
Picked out the trophy for Stevie Curtis’s mum [Ann].
Still no bloody way i will be going into SUPERSHED today— its 4 below and miserable .
Did actually start the KEY WEST chapter ——managed 800 words before i turned in last night. Looks like another day to hammer the i pad .

I have written childrens short stories when i have run out of “things to do” if i get a half chance i will print out a couple of the tales .
Did use my eldest daughter Sandra who was a nurse—-doc Magoon —Gene LANGHAM — and Rick Lahore as the tales protagonists .
Of course i never did get any of them printed —- not even the childrens stories . Was told i could make a shed load of money if the ever took off !!!!!!!!
But always did have folk telling me i could make a lot of money if i really wanted to !!!! Guess i never really wanted to.

It’s like Halloween

At one time I probably scared a lot of people in south Florida for various reasons. But it was all in good fun
