The Retirement Thread

[12boy]

Oddly enough it is still important to walk as much as possible. No exercise that might be a strain, though.
Tonight it is Chugwater Chili, not what I would prescribe for acid reflux but what Mrs 12 requests I try to deliver. Ground beef browned with onion and garlic and the eponymous Chili as well as dark kidney beans. Chugwater is a hamlet of a few hundred people between Cheyenne and Casper. They had a gas station/convenience store but some bozo stripped himself naked one -7C day, covered himself with brown shoe polish and drove into the gas station, which was totalled. After about 8 years one of the Chuggers managed to reopen it, thereby allowing people in Chugwater to get gas without driving 48 miles. Give a guy a bunch of meth and he takes out the gas station. Cannot abide a person who can't hold his meth.

You still have to use it, unless you're able to detach it and have a spare handy. But you don't want to over do it.

Have fun. Don’t think even a new bike would rekindle my cycling mojo Hoping the better weather in a few months does.

Still cold here but dry and not as frosty as yesterday so might do the hill walk soon. Might get a nice sunrise if I time it right.

I have risen!

Currently -2°C here in Poshshire.

Good morning folks,
2degrees at the moment, and 2 x £25 prizes from Ernie. Looks like I’ll have to wait another month for the big one. Nothing planned for today, I need to restart my turbo trainer regime.
Stay safe folks 👍☕️

Morning folks wind has dropped...i was going to say eased but that sounds like a problem with an excess of sprouts and flatulence Highly unlikely i'll be turning a wheel today as its freezing again...booh. Got a new tv remote through the post for my elderly samsung, the old one was cracked and barely worked....which made viewing interesting, couldnt change channels and the volume would stick i couldve saved a couple of years of awkward/annoying button pushing for £3.50

Good morning, world!

It's a chilly 1.7 degrees in Planet Thanet today with a breeze blowing, which will make it feel worse.

Well, we have just about dried out from yesterday's walking group meeting, where we got royally rained on and literally soaked to the skin.....

Today, I shall mainly be staying indoors and trying to keep warm. Tonight we have a uke band meet up down at the pub, to "audition" some suggested new songs. I anticipate much confusion.....

Keep safe, everyone, and have a good day.

Morning. A chilly 2 deg here with the possibility of rain or snow. A tad cool as they say.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all, dawning bright and cold here.
Spent yesterday exploring the grounds of what used to be the Riccarton estate of the Gibson-Craig family, now the campus of Heriot-Watt. The big house itself was demolished after the war but lots of walls, gateposts, ornamental plantings etc still survive mingled in amongst the modern and the high-tech, including the woodland family graveyard, now bordered by the main uni buildings on one side and halls of residence on the other. The shaded woodland path past it must provide an interesting after dark experience for the students

Morning all

Bit breezy and 5° C out there this morning on the Gold Coast.
Kite surfers will be out in force today at Saunton Sands, I bet.
New phone (Moto G30) is arriving today, so that will give me something to fiddle with this afternoon.
Off to LIDL & Home Bargains in Barnstaple first thing.

Hilly 5.5 mile walk done but the legs were so heavy that I tripped and nearly fell. I barely lift my feet these days. Can hardly believe I managed to jog up there just a couple of years ago.

Porridge finished and cuppa time now. The sun is just making an appearance but it's not to warm up much.
