Hee hee! 33 years ago tomorrow, I did something that has stuck with me until today. At the time, there were a few who thought I'd made a bad decision and predicted failure within the year...

Oh, PS., yes I have the Dr's clearance, sorta, like, well I didn't ask him directly, but he said I won't do damage now so I take that as approval...

The rum helps the time pass, believe you me....

Can't wait for this weekend, or my new riding jacket to arrive. I am in an extreme state of anticipation.

I shall.

I threw some DOT5.1 fluid at my brakes today, just to make sure they are ready for me and my limp wrist riding.

Hope you didn't miss and get it on the tyre, that could be dangerous...

Not this time.....
I have a wonderful little brake bleeding line, just throw it on the nipple (heh, nipple) and open up, pump away (This is a huge double entendre) and you're done. It's magic I tells ya! No need to open/close the nipple etc.

Edit: aside from the original opening of said needle and the eventual closing.... ah you get the idea.

Yup! Don't know why, maybe because of my accident and subsequent operation, but this year seems extra special.

After 33 years and now in our 50's, I am blessed with a wife who is, if anything, hotter now than ever, and who loves me more now than ever, too. We've brought up 3 great kids to adulthood and seen them married. We've got a cherished grandson, now 4 and we're comfortable and happy together.

I've lost 16 kg since the accident and everyone is complimenting me on how good I'm looking these days! My wife is my best friend and we are inseperable.

We've been through a lot in the last 33 years, I've nearly died 5 times; I very nearly lost both my wife and youngest daughter when she was born in 1984. Like every family, we've had tragedy and trials along with success and fun. It's been a roller-coaster ride and at times it was touch and go for us, but through it all, we've never stopped loving each other and today I have no regrets that the sweet young thing I spotted across a crowded room in 1975 became my wife two years later.

We have both grown up and changed a lot and most importantly have grown together. Our family is very close and I have so much to be thankful for!

Each morning I wake up beside a gorgeous blonde who rolls over and gves me a cuddle and a smile. Often during the night as she sleeps, I'll just lie there and watch her. Her relaxed face is beautiful in the soft light of the bedside clock and to feel her soft, smooth body against mine is surely paradise on Earth.

I recall on our 18th wedding anniversary telling her over our romantic dinner, that all I ever wanted was someone to love me, and I marvel that I have found such a beautiful lady who loves me and accepts me for who I am.

I'm spoiled for sure! After 33 years, romance is alive and well in the Bear house!
