66.... where did that year go ?
Its true, I have been busy for the past years after moving to Rossendale, House, business, life, all got in the way.
Now I have retirement to contend with, though due to funds, I am still working and hope to include start/stop/finish some of the many projects in my shed.
Not withstanding buying my Suzuki Burgman back off the guy I sold it to a year ago.
The Burgy is a big heavy scooter, automatic, comfy, rapid, and old, but it got me back into riding.
MOT next week and insurance / road tax . After many fixes and additions, its still a dog, but hey ho.
13 years ago I was on my way from Manchester CA to San Francisco after 8500 miles or more wandering the states doing the Manc thing.
Travel changes you, and that trip still creates great memories and a fair bit of regret bordering on depression that my five minutes of fame created.
Reaching 66 and feeling the pain of hard labour means the chances of certain bucket-listed stuff is further away than ever. For now......
Fly in a Spitfire.
Visit elephant, Orangutang, Rhino sanctuaries.
Travel through India and far east.
See the Peruvian Andes. Rio carnival, you know the kind of thing.
13 years of busy went like a flash in ya pants. But hey I have health (a bit), a beautiful family,
and a nice home....... oh and a battered old Suzuki. Not quite the Goldwing I rode back then but I am much older now and Wings are heavy.

April 5th 2023
Currrrr, 5th April 1958, I don't remember being born but it was a bloody long time ago.
65 years to be precise . Happy Birthday to mre.
It wasn,t that long ago when 65 meant retirement with a state pension, but not today.
67 ish, is the age now. And the government atre trying to put it up again tp 70.
Bloody crazy to think the youngsters of today will even work at 17, never mind 70.
Oh well I'm still here and wondering how.
I take enough pills and potions to sing a ship.
I groan like a old wooded bed when I get up from a chair.
I sleep less in bed , but take more naps on the couch.
I haved type 2 meltus, fatty liver disease , kerataconus, high blood pressure , hearing is going,
my knees ache, and I have realised that I most certainly have ADHD ( since birth).
But all that lot is fine. A few less surprizes to die from LOL.
Today I picked up my tyre/wheel for the old Suzuki Burgman 650 that did about 100 miles last year
The Wusty Rex XVZ1200 steampunk bike is still poorly
And despite my aging body I still did 15 hrs a day Mon - Weds this week on a full outside stobecoat project.
