The Retirement Thread

Mo didn't seem to like my idea of an air gun.
Do you know anyone who will loan you a shotgun

I'll need to set the boss on you if you persist!

I can think of other words than blighters.
We have never had a cat but they seem to think our garden is their playground.

Motion activated sprinkler?

I immediately retract my suggestion.
Please give my apologies to the Monster cat.

I put this on the holiday section but wanted to share with the oldies.
I have just got 50% of our holiday insurance back. Doesn't sound much but as the insurance was £80 its worth having.
Got 100% of the holiday cost (£2K) refunded so a good result.
Would much rather this lot hadn't happened but at least we have a positive result.

Motion activated sprinkler?

That was an idea I'd already thought of.
I've got enough kit to build one.
My thinking was that a PIR activated horizontal rotary spray, through a 1mm jet, at about 2000psi, if triggered at a range of less than 0.5 mtrs would be sufficient to stop them coming back..........permanently.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better without a pad to be honest.

Stopped using padded shorts a few years ago and not noticed any ill effects once I removed the old B17.
Now with a trike even more superfluous.

Just to add to the shorts thing. When I started cycling any distance more years ago than I care to think padded shorts were unheard of so I just wore normal underpants and shorts. I think some cissies who went racing every weekend had chamois but not much padding there. I was a tourist rather than a racer so generally did distances up to about 100 miles per day depending on where we could sleep.

Evening all. After cycling Wednesday and Thursday and getting cold , I decided to give all cycling action a miss today only for my grown up daughter asking me to fix her puncture. I couldn’t say no otherwise she will stop helping me with modern technology lol. I did have a nice four mile walk to the butchers again to buy their homemade scotch eggs. Opps just in case my wife is reading this , I walked to the butchers to get a chicken, eggs and bacon lol 😂😂😀

I think it was the same for me, I started long distance club cycling in the mid 1980's with a local touring club and I don't remember seeing anybody wearing padded shorts.

You must be about 30 years behind me then.
