Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Had a stellar weekend —-uninterrupted two days— twelve hours in SUPERSHED—bliss !!!!
Soldiered on with CCBB — been on it three weeks up to now . Normally takes between 5/6 weeks to do a SILVER GHOST , but CHITTY bang-bang proved a tad trickier than i expected .
Made the bulkhead and body out of a Swedish bread board —- usually they are made out of strips of Beech this one was Oak. Done the rough work and fitting the aluminium dashboard when the damn thing split like matchwood . BOTHER i said to myself [ thats what im claiming i said — well it was Sunday and sainted mother did not allow bad language on the sabbath].
Do have a free week to fernagle a tangible object — if its looking good i will tell you.

MET POLICE HAVE TOLD HARRY AND HER TO TAKE A HIKE —— there will be no security from the police .
Andrew has been kicked out of the brownies — that means disowned and ostracised . Out in the cold - guess he really blotted his copybook this time !!!!!!!!!!
Weather is still mild —— Boris is still a dickhead —- travel to the USA without restrictions starts 26th January. Was a full moon at 6-00 AM this morning !!!!!!!! Have a good week . I’m going to.

Daughter BOO went to the PHEONIX theatre in the east end of London last night to see a musical calledCOME FROM AWAY. Story line is of all the planes that were diverted to NOVA SCOTIA in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 .
7000 PEOPLE DESCENDED ON A TOWNSHIP OF JUST 6000 PEOPLE——- THEY WERE THERE FOR FIVE DAYS.
She said she laughed and cried for the whole duration of the one and a half hour non stop show .
I didn’t even know the base story.

Not Nova Scotia, actually Gander, Newfoundland.

It is a wonderful story. A very accurate depiction of just how great the people of Newfoundland are.

They sometimes are hard to understand as the have a dialect all their own - part Scottish / part English !!!

I am taking the amendment to the fifth here —— [when you reach 90 there are mitigating circumstances]—- i have already been hauled over the coals by my daughter and my wife—- turns out her eldest son IVAN was flying to NEW YORK when 9/11 occurred . He spent five days in Newfoundland.
Boo says it was still a wonderful musical and if you get a half chance , you should take a look.

CCBB is creeping along — another couple of weeks and i should be somewhere in the ball park.

Pretty sure it was a hit on Broadway about 3 to 4 years ago.

I saw it in Toronto about 3 years ago and it was excellent. When it opened some of the cast were actually people from Gander, NFLD.

Last night was just after the full moon ——WOLF MOON , thats according to Native American history. January moon always sent the wolves howling apparently. Only moons i could ever remember were the HARVEST and HUNTERS.—— but then again took me all morning to remember who it was singing “BIG YELLOW TAXI” ——- Joni Mitchell of course .
All mostly useless information of course —- but you have to admit , the old “TRICKS” site is the most diverse on Scream and Fly. Mainly for the more mature ladies and gentlemen who still think young and have active minds . Have a great day peeps.

I have to admit—-
My sister Judy is visiting me in Tucson
we took a ride about five miles behind the house to see the WOLF MOON—-
What we saw was an AWESOM sunset—-

How about that ???? Damnable 9/11 must never be forgotten , amazing how it’s commemorated and remembered in so many ways . Shows just how resilient people are , and in the face of adversity will always triumph over evil. It’s what we do — we are ​“indefatigable “
