The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I am sure you will be pleased to know it will be a golden, clear aired fall day here with little wind, no smoke and my usual 20 miles, on the Brompton this time. Damn...just sprained my arm patting myself on the back.
Besides the Magnificent 7 and a Fistful of Dollars, based on Kurasawa's 7 Samurai and Yojimbo, respectively, I also enjoyed the highly accurate and refined Mel Brooks epic, Blazing Saddles. I really liked 2 John Wayne films, The Cowboys and the Shootist.
Some detective shows I like were Life, with Damien Lewis and the Amazon prime series Bosch.
Be well and safe.

The shootist.....a very good film.

I just got a thread locked on Cycling UK .....well he shouldn't have called me a rac......

Which one?

Wool?

Yes, the Black Bear in Wool. It's on NCR 2. Shortly after taking the Photo a group of cyclists arrived having cycled from Poole, I wimped out and took the train.
This chap came past a little while later...

I like Bosch. Must get stuck back i to it. I think I was only at the start of series 6 and I think it might be on to 7 now?

Another walk done. Turned very muggy again.

I read a few of the Bosch books and thought they were excellent.

Had a pleasant ride today and on my return by the sea obliged some tourist by taking there picture for them. Then home and dismantle the brakes and gave them a good clean. On assembling I only just managed to get in there with an offset ring spanner....damn need some flat spanners! Went on ebay and sets of metric spanners strangely have missing sizes ie a set of 10mm to 22mm is missing 15mm and 14mm...er well that isnt a set is it! In the end after wondering whether to buy an expensive complete set or a budget incomplete set i couldnt decide so just bought the one 10mm spanner....hope they dont send the wrong size!

Well I'm all done with the hacking. Mrs P has cleaned the kitchen.

The less than mighty Rovers, well the decidedly not even close to mighty Rovers are at home to Hull tonight.

Time to clean up, take STT home, grab food, collect No. 2 son, go to Ewood (home of the mighty R...... well you get the picture), watch footie, take No. 2 son home, get home, collapse in to bed!

Retired? Huh!

It takes something very special to get them worked up. Normally they stick to moaning about the charity commission, the correct length of sock to wear with sandals or the advantages of those new fangled 3 speed gear sets .😂😂😂

And I say this as a member of the ctc 😀

Daughter No. 4 has become an fan of the GNR, she did it again this year, raising money for (Blood) Cancer Research.

I am suitably proud of her

The Bosch books are among my favorites and the series is, in my mind, anyway, very true to them. Michael Connelly the author, likes the series too. Other books I enjoyed were The Beekeepers Apprentice, the Robert Crais novels, and Martin Walker's Bruno the Cthief of Police series set in the Perigord. Enough, there are so many good ones and yes, I enjoy the Reacher series as well.
Had to cut my ride short due to a flat which made getting Mrs 12 to chemo on time a lttle chancy. Got it fixed but took a few extra minutes. I find when I am slow and methodical it goes much faster, but had I put in my tubeless tire sealant in a timely way there would have been no leak at all.
Maybe tomorrow afternoon.
Be safe and well, amigos.
