The Retirement Thread

Morning Papa Dirkie.

 

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning from a bright but overcast Dorset. Temperatures in the 20's until next week according to the forecast. Mrs Tkk is on her THIRD coffee of the day😳 ( though she does have a more dainty cup than my ruffty tuffty chunky mug ). Daughter and granddaughter are popping round on Saturday, her car is in for its MOT at the garage around the corner. It's was originally Mrs Tkk's car and has been going there since it first needed an MOT. Of course when we gave her the car I told her that it came with a lifetime parts and labour warranty so I've been picking up the annual bills. 😁
Have a peaceful day folks ☀️

Do you rent her out by any chance. By the day or the week will do

No chance, she is mine all mine.

Morning all

Big bore kit for the Puch arrives today; be interesting to see the quality of it. Just waiting on the larger carb to arrive before I set about the conversion.
Going to the Somerset Classic bike meet tonight at the Windmill Inn, which is just up the road from me.

1st lesson i ever learned Dirk......dont get your Big bore mixed up with the small one. Its easily done if you aren't concentrating.
Shout me if you need more advice.

Dogs walked, listened to The Who on the way round. We bumped into Eddie, a red fox lab who's friendly with my boys.

After housework and music practice ill we walking to the post office to post a Vinted package for the missus, then to the Garden Centre to collect another.

Then im at the lodge this evening. While Im out Mo will be in charge in here, with Pala Dirk as her enforcer

The scream by Daltrey in Won't Get Fooled Again has to be the best scream in Rock!

Up incredibly early for me.

Off to the Trough of Bowland for a hike with my mate.

Nice, sunny day.

Enjoy your own version of today!

A very pleasant 5 mile wander done. It's so much nicer when it's cooler. I even felt a bit more energetic.


I see Zwift have a sale on for a few days for the V2 of the Zwift Ride and Kickr Core for £899. I am extremely tempted as, although my Wattbike is a solid bit of kit, it has never felt comfy for me. The Zwift Ride looks like it would have better adjustment, especially as this version has been designed to accommodate shorter riders. Hmmm.......I have a very itchy finger on my mouse!

Morning, last day in Leeds today, we will settle our youngest into his accommodation and work our way back home, probably via the Peak District, the weather is glorious and my cold has just about gone!

 

[Mo1959]

My finger twitched. Ooops.

Well another pleasant day here in sunny Galicia, another clear blue sky and an expected mid 20's this afternoon. I've moved a little further along the coast to a small village Caion not far from my next destination of A Coruna. Going to take the bike out for a spin so may post some photo's later.
