The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I had thought my Previa's battery shot but my mechanic said it wasn't yet, but in 4 years I had only driven 1700 miles. Nieeds to be driven more frequently. My pickup is about the same although my Element and my CRV get more.
Too much medical for a ride today, but there are lots of tasks to be done around here, which I can do so I am free on other days.
Be well and safe.

The good thing about a bike, no batteries required.
Continue with your rock harvesting. Sheep herders wagon, not heard how you're doing with that for a while.

Count the stars in the sky at night.
Watch night fall, without laughing.

The wagon is functionally done but camping is beyond Mrs 12's scope at this point so using it will have to wait. Once alone I can go on some trips. If they go well it could be healing to work my way from national forest to national forest leavened with Brompton rides along the way. I unloaded most of my rocks preparatory to making a little rock island for thyme plants. When it cools down and garden is done I will work on that. my thought is once you quit doing challenging things you lose the ability to do them fairly quickly.
Be well and safe....

It’s a bit windy this morning. It’ll be nice and fresh for a walk. Green bin day.

Worth watching.
I will never again go swimming with Alligators .....(unless they are on my wheels)

Good morning all, an early start today. I enrolled at a (new for me) gym the other day, and they offered me an induction appointment for 7.45 this morning. Stupidly I agreed, not realising how early 7.45 feels these days ! Oh well, best get on with it and then come back for breakfast

Good morning all, its bright and breezy this morning, yoga later.

Cooeee. A bit brighter here today but that could change at any minute

The bin men didn't come last week (as they do) so the bins are a tad full here. Should be here tomorrow unless they decide not to bother yet again.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all, a little rain overnight, but the sun has come out.
After all the usual things to do, a bimble on the bike will be had. To Tesco at Potters Bar. MrsP like Dolce Gusto coffee pods, and nowhere around here has them. A good excuse for a 10 mile round trip.
I have found on bay of e, a replacement cast iron manhole cover and frame, a slightly different shape but the same size, so just a bit of cleaning out and cementing to be done when it arrives.

Stay safe everyone

Morning all

Off back home this morning, so will be hitching up in a couple of hours time and towing across Exmoor.
Sun's coming out and it looks like we'll have a spot of decent weather.

I've ordered these, but in a nice silver colour. Amazon Prime so they will come tomorrow.

I wonder, would they cancel out Mrs @BoldonLad shouting "Will you get off that bl**dy computer and empty the dishwasher"?
