SASless OK?

Anyone seen or heard from SASless recently?

He last posted in September.

Just a bit worried, that’s all....

Shy, I PM'd him recently and he is fine
Like you, I was concerned that he had been very quiet on here.
Got to keep an eye on the elderly at Christmas

Always wondered who actually drank that stuff - thanks!

Right you Lot.....pay attention! Senior Pilot inquired of my continued existence and noted there had been some borderline slanderous comments here at Rotorheads.

Just as some reports I sought warmer regions requiring asbestos y-fronts the accusation that I would ever drink a Budweiser demands a response to clear my reputation.

Fishing season was great, Thanksgiving was quiet but enjoyable following a lovely dinner at the Duck Hunting Club adjacent to my wee bit of Paradise and the Tea House Crew keep me up and moving.

This Christmas will be a bit different.....I go for my second new Hip on the 18th and will be recuperating from that Surgery and not being very mobile.

The good news is my friends and neighbors have banded together to make sure I do not starve....the Crew gets fed...and that is what warms my Heart this Christmas Season.

A Lady friend and her Daughter visiting her for the Holiday will be here doing Christmas Dinner for me.....and the Daughter trying to make off with Reagan my Labrador retriever.


I appreciate the posts, comments, and thought of those here at Rotorheads.

For the Record.....in my wild youth when I had no commonsense whatsoever.....I have on the rare occasion quaffed a Budweiser.

These days, what little commonsense and taste I have left, forbid the consumption of that foul liquid my compatriots call Beer.

Never these days would that happen....Stella, Pacifico, Modelo, Becks, Guinness........and Single Malt Scottish Whisky are the standard and either Bushmills or Jameson when I want to feel combative.

I wish you all a fine Christmas and hope you do as I am this year and appreciate fine friends, neighbors, and family.

Thank you all for the thought re my well being.

Goosepool Hotel

SASLESS - not sure if you keep track of one of your old stamping grounds (Teesside International), But the Goosepool Hotel is on the market would offer suitable interest for a man of your calibration and should provide ready access to such fine English beers as Theakstons Old Peculiar, Black Sheep Riggwelter or even Cameron’s Strongarm
And could even get you access to our NHS
Trust all goes well for you on the 18th

Many fond memories of Teeside....and of the Black Bull Pub where I became acquainted with that wonderful Old Peculiar (that could apply to me these days).

I found it very interesting during a visit there not so long ago to discover the Monument to the Canadian Airmen that flew from there during WWII.

I had a family friend who upon being rejected by the US Army Air Corps....went north to Canada and wound up at Teeside flying Lancasters over Germany.

He remained in the RCAF until the end of the War having completed thirty missions.

I have thrown out the anchor....and have no plans to move from the Tea House anytime soon.

Is the resident Ghost still active in the Hotel?

That was more or less my original question......

Glad to see you are still haunting the place, SAS!

Last I heard he was building a house in Southern Utah.

Nick's place should be pretty nice.....complete with an upscale telescope for viewing the heavens....when he isn't doing the Honey Do List for his Missus.

Noticed at a Astronomy group he has joined as of last month which follows as I know one of the things he was really enthusiastic about was that kind of study.

SASless, glad to see that you are still among the quick. As to Budweiser, on a hot Texas afternoon after cutting the grass, a cold Bud is quite refreshing.
For a different situation, such as at the local watering hole, I'd prefer a Theakston's best.
