4 weeks agoOther Adventures You don’t see much on this post? Apart from walking, I love Drones, gardening, Real ales, Not played golf since Covid! I have two boats, Two engines for getting lost somewhere? Some nice pubs on the Ship canal! But i stick to rivers! Ex fireman on railway, So when redundant in 1967 i was Bath road 2nd man of diesels looking for employment! Fitters put stuff in my steam engines water tank! A small inquisitive memory? So Potable water it is! College in Derby n York, and soon laying and jointing mains water pipes with old but good Whitlock digger for 20 quid a week? Next step was water purification! Sedimentation, and filtration for drinking water plus Chlorine n Ph pumps n stuff! Or many large pools! Deep training for navel boys at navel air stations! Prince Charles would officiate, His lot plus dad were in to boats helicopters n such! But if no ties, Then overseas (where you pay no income tax) if your home to UK less than 63 days a year? its good money! I chose Africa! Bit wild is understatement! People tried to shoot me! Missed! In various coups! (Government change)! I witnessed Murtala Muhammid killing in his car! I wouldn’t go too far north on Cameroon border nor Chad way! Bands of Muslim soldiers up to no good! When i am dead = cremation! There’s no magic afterlife? You best tinker with boat engines or play crap golf! And the bullet for you will always fly high! I chopped this down but it still looks rather expansive? Best car for no tarmac, n situations is 404 or 504? Best plane the Boeing 707, But Later years the DC10. If its doors didn’t fall off!
