The Retirement Thread

[Exlaser2]

Afternoon all. Went to get bike out to check it over be for going for a ride Checked the new front wheel , all Ok ( as my wife would tell you I make a habit of pinching inner tubes lol ) only to find I now have a slow puncture in the rear tyre. This has not been a lucky weekend . Anyway it did have a happy ending as I got my other bike out and we had a lovely cycle on the lanes in between Coventry and Rugby. It’s so nice these days to have a spare bike, it was a birthday present from my wife when I hit 50 😀😀😀

Those are the ones, I nearly always like to start my rides in this area, my good lady on other hand like to go out towards the airport and head for cubbington and leamington . In fact we were just starting Kings Newnham hill from the bretford side yesterday when it all went ‘ Pete Tong’ with my front wheel . Lol 😂

So, I am out in the garage and Pam says she is going to pop in and make a cake, a few minutes later into my head popped a thought, licking the basin clean, yummy stuff, anyways I carry on with the job in hand and then pop back into the office at which point I get called into the kitchen and handed a bowl to lick clean, coffee cake mix. At no point did I mention I fancied doing that, it is many years since I did that so how? More worrying does she know what I am thinking all the time or only when cake is involved?

I once asked my mum when I was very young if I could lick the bowl she told me no pull the chain

The plan for tomorrow is out though Baginton, Long Ichington Broadwell and Sawbridge, turn in Willoughby then retrace my steps home.

Stop talking about me I am back, ride done only 16 miles at 16mph it will do, now to reassemble the loo.

12boy..............a silly question but I really have no idea as America is such a BIIIG place. How far are you from Montana?
Only reason for asking is that our ex Daughter in Law (who we both still love) met, married a guy and moved out there. She sends us photos and it looks as remote as your place is but with lots of water.
We do miss that girl.
[/QUOTE] You should go visit....where in Montana? At 147k sq miles its a fairly large state and has some beautiful country. The Wyoming/Montana border is around 180 miles north of my place. When you are done, drop by and I will feed you some frijoles and green chile stew. You and your good wife can spend a night or two in my sheepherders wagon on Muddy Mountain about 20 miles sw of here, if you like. After the frijoles and green chile, she may make you sleep outside for her own olfactory survival. By the way Casper ain't remote... At 55k people it is neck and neck with Cheyenne Wyoming, the other megalopolis in the state.

Mornin' all.

Morning all. I have had an awful headache all night so I am not in the best of moods at the moment. Stay safe folks.

I hope you feel better soon, I also feel a bit groggy but mine was self inflicted so deserve no sympathy.
