SHOWERS are set for the day, so i am informed.  Already there have been a few showers but the cloud looks too high for any soon,  and there's no wind.  So I'm backing there'll be none of great note.

What's on the agenda? Week since she's going intrastate on Sunday, servicing Mia's Getz is in order.  That means, changing motor oil, & rotating the tyres. 
I'm aware i also need to do some welding on the trailer if I'm to sail this weekend,  and i will.  So i should get into that after the Getz.
Then,  a ride would be grouse.
1046 hrs: Well,  it's sprinkling,  not enough to takes a recording of,  but quite damp working in it. Huh, so much for my prediction. All the Getz work is done and that little black beauty is ready for the off. Go well little Getzee.
I'm having breakfast now,  sitting sodden and grubby.  The welding is next,  hoping i don't electrocute myself ?
1424hrs:  Just finished repairing the trailer.  I was planning to put a brace off the roller post until i found the post was rotted out. I cut a replacement from 2"square tube I had laying about.  I also had great success with the welding machine on a depowered level.
The wind has arrived from the SE under  a sky lost  to grey blobbinesss. The rain is falling in  a wet must,  ad the wind comes in,  you cop a fine misting. Just come in ţo have coffee & relax before the next activity.

Thankfully,  the weather was not too disruptive & we could get some boat jobs completed.

Some school days would see me run home from the beach dripping wet, stuff cereal down & jog to school. At lunch break I would grab a bike & get a surf in.  On my twenties i took up sailing. If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
