Out celebrating our 14th Wedding Anniversary which is actually on Monday but we are both working then.

Its funny that critical thinkers...Anti-vaxer, and conspiracy theorists .... see non thinkers,sheep, just like the above picture.. You guys are lucky to have me and Roo-bob around to help part the clouds and let some reality in....

Enjoyed a few with AJ and young Phil last night ....... bar doing well.

duh.... When you can rent as cheaply as buying, why buy ? Especially at that age. If you set things up properly you can still "take care" of them as they take care of you - without going through the bullshit "marriage" game.

66/1 Top Ville Ben E/W 5 places good luck to all 🍀

5 Quid E/W on Cloth Cap 25/1 2 Quid E/W Coko Beach 66/1 (My little playmates like dancing to a song called "Coko" . So I had to really)

Yes, enjoyed a few scoops and conversation - the company was pleasant

today...

Butcher's sausages with veg and beans.

Pimped up - number 2 (leftover much tastier than the first batch), salad with peppers and mushrooms - Raunch dressing.

My eldest son has placed my bets for me. They are paying out E/W for 7 places.

That day again. Longhouse Poet £60 ew at 16s, love this horse. Any Second Now 11, Run Wild Fred 18s- both £20 ew. FreewheelinDylan 66s, Eclair Surf 14s, Commodore 33s all 10 ew. Am getting paid on 6 places. Did Enjoy D'Allen ew at 33s ante-post but no so keen now Good luck if you are playing- 40 runners, we are going to need it🙂

I thought they had good package deals.

Same for me, 76 now and ten years together. She will be very well provided for. No divorce here in the Philippines anyway and the 'annulment' is just a scam for the lawyers and the church hierarchy.

Yesterday we started early (just like everyday) and somehow landed at the garden center a half hour before they opened. To kill some time took a walk along Bayshore Ave., just off the Interstate. I've probably passed by the Silver Crest Donut shop 500 times in a car and never stopped in. Sensing something out of another time we went in to check it out; felt like a faded David Lynch movie with no customers so didn't eat; bought Carlos a $3 Coke in a glass bottle, and wandered on. Somebody was living in their bus on the street outside and there were a number of obvious other "campers." Made it back to the garden center just as the gate opened, bought some bags of dirt and good shit, and headed back to project.

As an aside. Who do you think wrote the laws that haven't been broken? Joe Blow from the High Street or the person with a few squillion to protect. Scan the Panama or Paradise papers and see how many of your neighbours you can find compared to politicians (or their partners etc) or business tycoons with their offshore tax haven trusts.

^ Too many of these occasions for my liking ...

This is being leaked by Boris 5555 and Tory apologists are searching for excuses , anyone who is supporting Sunak is either a non dom newspaper baron with billions hidden away or a complete mug 🙂

Sure you are not riding in the Grand National tomorrow lol

I understand, yea. I will be applying for ours start of May, gives nearly 4 weeks, should be plenty of time and it'll hopefully be not as clunky by then. You also can get people to do it for you for a fee as well, if you're not confident it doing it, or you need it in a hurry. These people are well involved in the whole Thailand Pass stuff, and have loads of great recommendations. https://asq.in.th/thailand-pass?tpOpen=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIspSBstyE9wIVBuvtCh0NrglhEAAYASAAEgK76fD_BwE

Things are constantly changing, and will change again by the time you go, i'm also going end of May. The thread below is best to keep an eye on and all the 'latest requirements' get posted in there, specifically the last few pages ongoing, as things will have changed since it was first started. . My guess for when you go, and it is only a guess, is you'll still need to do the Thai Pass, but it will be an ATK/LFT on arrival at the airport in Bangkok, or if you choose to do at a hotel for example. Just keep checking the thread below, i'm holding off on booking a test and go hotel and doing the Thai Pass until there is clarity on what will be required from May, hopefully no hotel test and go PCR requirement.

lol...the deflection again... this time with the old " word smithing" line.....lol Actually I pay tax..... Federal and State and Local tax in 2 States and 1 Territory. I will have to look into this personal letter you claim is sent to every taxpayer that explain where their personal tax dollar was spent. cheers

Packing!

Yep... There are guys I know who went to the range constantly. I limited it to qualification and occassional "special" training. Over 35 years of it, I am glad I limited the number of times. I am sure there a lot of guys who are regreting it now. Lot of hazards - from flying hot brass, to hearing loss. Also exposure to cleaning agents and gun powder. Not to mention a negligent discharge. I once had to work a case were some rookie in basic training accidently discharged a round into a guy standing next to him when she was cleaning her piece. Jesus Christ ! That was nasty !

Brekkie today.

He won't forget his final race for sure...well done Sam

Final result, paid out of 2nd and 6th, just missed out with the 7th(paid to 6 places). Winner ridden by an amateur jockey in his last race before retiring. Well done jockey, Sam Waley-Cohen- fantastic race

Exactly what i was thinking too Galen, i was trying to think of an amusing way to word it.....

Look’s like it would float 🙃

.... But I sold Gordon......

I sold self employed pension arrangements to five of the stall holders in Ridley Road Market during my first year representing Sun Life Assurance Soc. My area started at Stamford Hill and basically covered the whole of the East End of London. I was the 22 year old "new boy" given theoretically the worst area in London but I loved it opening a whole new world to me including Pubs in Hackney that locked you in at 1 o'clock on Fridays when the "entertainment" started.

Can we agree to disagree on that?

Nah, doesn't count once you've been sprung and the shit has hit the fan.

Nothing wrong ... but now this 555 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-61045825

Lovely !

Prawn fried rice with the body of a sea bream....the missus had the head😂

Any ideas on this gents.

You're right. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Evidence based rational explanations are no counter for irrational beliefs! And I did have a chuckle over the claim I wonder if it occurred to those doing some of the original research on mRNA back in the 70s that their work would be required to combat a pandemic 50 years later.

yellow-rumped warbler

Ribeye and baked potato.

A nice NY strip, and potato cheese casserole. I was too lazy to do veggies, but I had a big bowl of pistacheos. Does that count ?

There was a massive breeding program not far from me and now they are an every day occurrence around here.

Maybe more luck if you change your bait

You have an option of buying a catch and release ticket, or pay 8 pounds extra for a kill 6 fish then C and R. I Don't eat fish, so I do what ever the guy I am with does. Last week I caught my 6 and gave them to my fishing partner. This week a different mate wanted C and R. Last weeks catch.

Dunno, looks like a perfect eating size to me - I'd take it home...😁

A lot of catch and release goes on these days. However for someone who likes a feed of fish I would be keeping a couple.

on the Bay today...
