Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

AFTER SIX HOURS cleaning and tidying the shop, my sister and husband finally left. They managed to list all the stuff i have for sale [which is a lot] and everything’s catalogued.
Down side is, my main worktop is FTB . Will have to start that on my own before i can even think about concepts.
Upside is, she has promised to return next week for a couple of days to finish the job—-time flies when you are having fun.

“SUNBITCH” sort of day. Neither one thing ,nor t’other . At least it didn't rain.
Started off like a raging bull — number of things completed and a lot more not even touched.
not enough to take piccies but in my own mind i had accomplishments!!!

Starts off as an idea and develops into an itch and sod it !!!!!!!!! Tidy shop idea was never going to last .
Canopies come in all sorts of shapes and sizes ——-mainly through necessity, as APBA rules do not apply to me and a concept . i said to myself what a wonderful world ——- i will make a canopy —pleasing to the eye ——- build a twin outboard cat round it and lets see what comes outa the pot,???

Well Fuji it’s like this, Somedays are better than others —— there are times when i am full of beans —then there’s others when i have to get rid of the beans and take a crap. Wasn’t even in the shop when i did the arm. Was pulling buttercups out of the sweet -pea bed when my right arm snagged the wire netting and opened it up like it was a can of beans.
didn’t exactly fill me full of joy !!!!!!!!
LAST WEEK ——i put both the “MAX AITKIN” Trophies to bed ——and completed the five trophies for the Lowestoft club —— BOB SPALDING—TOM PERCIVAL—ROGER JENKINS—-NELLY GREGG—-AND. “JACKIE WILSON”——— Now that did fill me full of the joys of spring !!!!!!!
Simply trying to point ouT. SOMEDAYS YOU EAT BEAR !!!!!!!

Meandered down the road a piece to Worthing for lunch at “THE CRAB SHACK”.
Would recommend it for sea food farers.

Well, Jackie, just an observation from what I can see from your last few posts you’re a lot safer crabbing than gardening. I would suggest you wear long sleeves or chain mail when gardening and just stick with a great big bib when you’re eating crabs best always Amberjack.

Well its like this Charlie —— believe it or not i am a perfectly normal -average but simple ordinary person trying to live out my life with a minimum of injury and hurt to the ever ageing but very wrinkled frame !!!!!!!!!!
so, as a rule i wear the correct attire. Four cashmere jumpers to keep me warm from September to June and tee shirts in July -august and September [unless i take a trip to florida].
Do not even think about wearing shorts until the first week in august, which i quickly discard in September regardless of.
Self preservation is paramount !!!!!!!!
Reason i have a great workshop is to keep the little grey cells active and the fingers nimble and arthritis free. Just occasionally there are lapses in concentration and i wind up going to A+E for some sort of medical attention .
Never quite figured out how this occurs, but when i do ,you will be the first to know . Let you know how i fare Charlie.

See my grandkids “HUSKI” race team had a great stroke of luck over the weekend at. “COCOA BEACH”.
They wound up first and third !!!!!! Which is a whole lot better than second and fourth !!!!!!!!
this only came about due to the fact the NAVY boat [which had led from the start to the last corner } lost one of the motors .
That is really hard to take—-i know because i have been there !!!!
Last words you need to hear from anyone is “You have to finish to win” .
Those guys already knew that and did not need reminding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They did finish second albeit on one engine !!!!!!!
SARASOTA will be “VERY INTERESTING” ???????????

No doubt about it —- Navy was the quickest boat there —— they will be back—— setbacks happen, but not all the time ——-“SOMEDAYS YOU EAT BEAR”.
