Just noticed the blog has a new follower, none other than the brother of my oldest friend (which I suppose makes him my second-oldest friend). Hello Roy, how are things? Actually you might not have the tech know-how to answer, but never mind. Then again, maybe I'm doing you a misservice and you've become Mr Geek since we last met.
If you can answer (and it's really not that hard) I'd like to know how brother John and family are doing, also what you're both riding nowadays, if anything. I presume John's still got that rusty old Trident. Ahh, memories.
See some of my old posts for details of my two-wheeled escapades, but basically here in Bangkok I've gone and bought a bike virually identical spec-wise to the one I bought in 1974 when I was sweet 17. Talk about full-circle. Only difference is that was a Honda, this is a Kawasaki. Oh, and I didn't bury this one in the side of an Austin England after two weeks.
More soon. Be good.
Profile
I'm an engineer, so expect the expected. I dislike coriander. I like owls. I hate cold water. Repeating tensions such as clocks and dripping taps, which drive some people crazy, don't seem to affect me. I survived cancer in 2019. I once drank seven mugs of tea in 15 minutes. I have trouble understanding why people keep dogs as pets. All of my names contain 7 letters. My lowest three vertebrae are held in place by titanium rods. Deep water represents the unknown, which terrifies me. I read slowly. I eat quickly. I was briefly insane in the autumn of 1990. My happiest moments were spent throwing arrows around a field when I was 12. My favourite colour is blue. I rarely catch colds. I believe that not taking part in any physical activity after the age of 30 is the equivalent of not ducking when being punched. I accept and respect the existence of an opposite point of view. I wish I had a good plot idea so I could write a book. I have never bought a tabloid newspaper. I sink in water. Of the five people I spent my teenage years with, three are dead. I think that in a family context, love should be unconditional. I believe to the core of my being that man's most divisive and destructive creation is God. I neglected my father and regret it now he's gone. I can hear and memorise numbers instantly and retain them indefinitely, but forget what my wife tells me in seconds. I dislike fruit in desserts. Masks scare me. Only my family should shorten my first name. I intend to live to the age of 121. There is no retina in my right eye. I've been to five continents but I hate sight-seeing.
