I heard that when you were a kid they used to have to hang a ham around your neck just to get the dog to play with you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Cold and sunny today which is perfect in the mountains. Got out and ski’d atrociously leading to the dubious pleasure of a providing the entertainment, a double somersault with ski’s still attached (bindings too tight) then sliding down the mountain sprawled upside down like a starfish.. style and grace personified. Reasting my bashed up self with a vin chaud like a lightweight Quirky little pub with no windows we had a bit of apres at yesterday. The largest bellows I’ve ever seen. Back now for fine wine and another 4 course meal, just call me Mrs Creosote. Soup with a lump of what I think is Gruyère that you break into chunks into the soup, yum 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesmoDog Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm working on building a metal version of the chain guard off of an alleged pre-war prototype Ducati that was found in a barn after someone's grandfather died. He was married to an Italian woman he called "Fantsasma" who was related to or maybe dating the guy who had Taglioni's job before Taglioni did so it was probably stolen or at least hidden by someone she knew before the factory got bombed. The grandpa died before I was born so I can't ask about details. Rumor has it Ducati was working on a big single before the war broke out, but got distracted by bombs going off and stuff. When the war ended there wasn't a market for a big single so they started out producing smaller bikes, then broke out the old drawings and got back to the bigger singles later on. Of course by then a hard tail wouldn't sell so it had a rear suspension when it reached production, but you can see the similarities between it and the production bikes. Obviously being a prototype a lot of the original parts are unobtainable, so I've used later parts where they fit and fabricated details and parts where nothing was available. No color pictures exist of the bike so it's anyone's guess how it might have looked if it had ever been built. In fact not much info at all exists on the bike, so a lot of what is being said is open to conjecture. Another opinion is it's a bike that started life as a joke but that's just crazy talk. Who in the hell would start building a bike just because someone offered him a free, damaged frame after he joked he had almost enough spare parts to build a counterpoint to the over sized, under braked, over priced choppers that were so popular in the US for a few minutes back in the day? That's just stupid. No one would do THAT. Pre-war prototype is the only thing that makes sense. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought was I preferred the gravel Nice purple bruises have appeared but the mild concussion has receded and I think its a medical fact you can proceed with drinking loads of red wine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 The old XBox finally packed up today! I used to connect this to an old TV to watch Netflix etc.....so it was time to get something modern. Bought a 40" JVC Smart TV Full HD this evening.....€250. Lot of technology for the money. Hell of a difference in picture quality and sound compared to what I'm used to. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
