The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Not a nice day outside.
Dog walking first, and then toasted bagels, scrambled eggs, smoked bacon and smoked salmon for breakfast.
That should cheer MrsP up for a while. 😉

The weather is getting worse here if that's possible. Baton down the hatches as they say. And more of course

I'm up again, it's not yet.....

I have these visions of Paul sleeping in the garage to make sure his bike doesn't get lonely

You're not far off there. I only get rid of bikes when they are stolen(!) or have to be scrapped. Ridiculously sentimental.

The night after I ordered the Genesis I had a dream about riding her. Next morning I knew I'd made the right decision.

Can't get sentimental about my bikes I'm afraid. Not even looking after them very well at the moment. When I get back from a cold, damp ride the last thing I want to do is go back out and clean a bike.

Weather getting worse here too. Time to root around in the loft before I shower.

If they get sad send them to me for some TLC.

Genesis bikes get terrible reviews on several forums.
Paint peels off after 2 weeks
Frames crack after 1 week
Owners constantly dream about them.

Any other advice you need, feel free to ask

I am just a jealous bitch
