This week at the lake was quite busy, the weather certainly brings people out doesn't it.






One of John Goddards more sedate models , nice little mover til it stopped in the middle of the lake, don't see that very often do you!


Soon got it going again and then realised he had his tranny in the boat with him!.


Then had his boat pull him back to the landing stage where I helped him out of the rescue boat, and he carried on sailing!.
No flies on him!.

Age doesn't always bring wisdom, sometimes it arrives alone.

A word to the wise isn't necessary, its the stupid ones who need the advice.

If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it!.

Seen this week at the lake,22.6.2017.

At the lake this week there were yachtsmen on the big lake,


Some sailors just taking it easy, ie Jimmy there with the stick and Donald there with the panama hat, back after having a heart attack!, soon get you up and about again at the hospitals these days don't they!.

A nice MTB bought off the 'For Sale' section,

Then it was off to the new buttie wagon in the garden centre for some of the guys whilst others were off to the club house with their sandwiches.

David (the yacht sec) sent me these pictures of Al The Comm's new build!, Al certainly knocks them out doesn't he, not that they look like that!, they are very impressive and  must take hours and hours, as those that do their own building will appreciate!.



Is that the battery Al, or is it the one out of your car!!.
Must go like that stuff off a hot shovel looking at the four props there!.

Do you know why Turtle wax is so expensive?,
Because turtles have really tiny ears!.

I was getting into my car and this guy says to me,
'Can you give me a lift'
I said 'Sure you look great, the worlds your oyster, Go for it'.

Policeman to motorist, 'Have you seen the state of your rear lights?,
Motorist, 'Sod the lights!, what's happened to my caravan!.

This past Bank Holiday only seen these Submarines. 
 

Also John with one of his slower boats, not a happy chappy and said he was having to build another fleet, with the fast boat ban in place.
There again I was always under the impression that the left hand control on one's transmitter was what controlled the speed!.

He does build a nice model though!.

Noticed that wooden blocks holding up the goose strings had been changed for metal posts that are a lot better has you won't knock bits off your boat now!

Remind's me of the Admiral that drowned in a sea of Red tape!.

Sign on the side of the road with a message from the police.
'If you drink and drive we'll provide the chasers!'.
