The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

They could just leave them with their arms encased in concrete, move them out of the way, finish the prison, then, keep them there as ornaments.

They seem to think that so long as they're peaceful they xan block roads and do all sorts as the protest. I used to love seeing their faces when we locked them up for sausing a Public Nuisance.

Iron Age village & Bronze Age standing stones, fogous and quoits this morning. A pint and a crab sarnie went down well in Morva.

Gone quite warm now.
Back at the van for a cream tea and a nap.

Did you know that this summer the standard grade of petrol is changing to a less polluting petrol called E10 that will reduce C02 emissions?

Check with you gov to see if your car is comparable as older cars won't be.

The cost in your tank might be around £8.00 per tank.

The problem people sometimes have is that performance suffers.

Just nipped for a pint.....Ruddles Cask. 1st proper ale I have had for yonks. It was very very enjoyable.
About to do baps with pork, onion and mushrooms. I will also throw a few chips in.

Which thread do you refer to ???
If its willy rot then yes, I imagine performance would suffer

Turned out nice and sunny so after the rubbish dump run went out on the trike for a short trip.
First time this year I have started to feel slightly too warm and that is with a lighter jacket. My fingers were also not cold for the first time for weeks.
Slightly later time of day than my usual and much less traffic, all of it local so another bonus. Strong wind tho' which pushes me up the long climb out but needs lower gears coming back on the flatter bits.
Tomorrow I have been summoned to appear in person before a GP. Not a phone consultation so a bit worrying as to what they have found wrong with me now that requires my presence. Got bloods done last week and the practice nurse may have reported some other problems I mentioned. Just need to wait and hope it is not too serious.

Yello, 10 years ago my neighbor and were talking about our elderly and puny condition, and decided that in 10 years we would like to be as stout as we were on that day. And we were right.
As far as anxiety, I go with the alcholic's prayer... Lord give the strength to change what I can, endure what I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. If you feel weak and puny you can work on that, but you can't change the fact everyone dies. Enjoy the time you have and the folks you have to enjoy it with. Even though I am a nasty, selfish schmuck, I find being kind to other people or even my pooch gets me out of my obsession with myself and probably does me more good than it does them.
Re tree roots....our cottonwood routinely clogged our sewer line and resulted in a bunch of it being replaced. Now we have an annual treatment that coats the inside of the pipe with rootkilling goo and presto changeo, no more root clogs.
It is colder than the hubs of hell today (-9C ) but it will heat up to a blistering 1 or 2C so I shall prolly go for a spin. Nothing as grand as Mighty Dave R's 31 miles but any ride is better than no ride.
As I learned from a British bowyer on YouTube.. Don' t worry about getting old. It doesn't last that long.

You always have to bring sex into it

Today its covid test, practice bass, lunch,afternoon snooze (im in 3 different antibiotics so im absooutely pooped), clean windows/eaves/gutters.

The benefit of being tall and living in a bungalow means I no longer have to pay my homie @Accy cyclist to do my windows, and the drop in income as put a serious crimp on his tweed acquisition habit. The other benefit is that I don't have to listen to him singing along to the ukelele when he comes to collect his money. Indeed, it wasn't the window tax that caused people of old to brick up their windows - it was the desperate desire to avoid having Accy and his ukelele come to clean the windows!

That certain tune was on the radio last night.😬

My 93 motorbike can use E10, for real, it's just not very good for it! Not if you leave it in the tank for any length of time that is. Gunks up carbs, eats rubber seals and corrodes internals. Not everywhere has SP98 and, confusingly, France has renamed both SP95 and SP98 as E5. I use E10 only if I have to and even then I make sure I use what I've put in asap.

Gosh, just in the door from my walk and I am met with willy rot!
