The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Just noticed your signature. Where are you going? Or, do you mean after we get our independence?

Yes, not moving

 

[numbnuts]

Quick blast on the turbo trainer, very warm in the garage even with the fan on and the door wide open, should have moved it outside.

A cool west wind today, temperature felt more like Sept than July. Did one of my regular 40 mile loops, heading west through Mid Calder and Murieston, joining the Lang Whang at Camilty for a stonking tailwind return.
Bumped into my LBS owner as I came through Juniper Green, says it’s still manic.

For a long time I've wanted a Minnehaha Medium bag so as to carry a jacket, tools, a couple of roasted chickens, clean drawers in case of accidents, moustache wax....you know all the essentials a bon vivant such as myself needs for a 3 mile ride. So I got one. Kinda suits my Luddite vibe. Only 60 bucks. Is that the cat's ass or what? In a while I'll go for a ride to get a weekly paper for my wife and prolly break my arm congratulating myself on my wisdom in buying the bag. And yes, it clears the tire by an inch.

Collectively

That's a relief.

In the event that they are required, who'll change them?

You would have to cut him out of them first.

If it kills the Coronavirus who’s complaining?

Here is another fact.
Termites produce as much CO2 as cattle.

Will they pump my tyres up.Easier to carry than a cow.

Evening all I disappeared to bed with a migraine.....no doubt the caffeine withdrawals. According to my reading up, this should hopefully be the worst day and start to feel less effects now. I am running out of sumatriptan so hope so.

Another famous climb done by my neighbours today I see!

Termites........Wood......I see what you did there.

I have now formulated a plan for today, I am going to sit here and read a book.
