Time used at sea.

Well we could all still be here for a long time, but maybe for some a short time.
Whilst there was a time when the latter of the two was popular I some how doubt that still to be true.

One thing I know is that time has speeded up, last week I was only 70 this week I'm 88, and they are now talking about 2050 for doing something with the bullshit they are all talking about, but they don't believe in if it interferes with their bonuses or profits, slow down there is plenty of time before the big boom. Time is a mirage.

Ah! Time. I have just received an email to say that one of my old mates from the N.S.W. Vindi association has crossed the bar, time for Don has run out. People thought we were brothers as his surname is the same as mine Jenkins. Don was at the Vindi in 45 so has had more time than me so far.
May he sail in calm waters.

Thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones.

Of course you’ll have to take your chances with climate change and trust it doesn’t affect the passage of the earth through. The heavens. This could be the alteration of its tilt may have some bearing on which time you ask for. JS

All I know is that on my20th birthday, a year was 12 months. By 40 it was about 9. At 70 it is down to roughly 4 months. And after I've had my breakfast and checked emails and whatsapp and messages and facebook and decided what to have for lunch and dinner the day appears to be down to about 2 hours. Now where did I leave my watch????......

#16. Kenneth I have a few hours ago been given a belated time piece by my beloved side kick. It is one of these Smart watches and have just managed to charge the battery and put the strap on. I recently gave away a number of old watches retaining a couple for my own use , so really don’t need another timepiece. However am told this watch does incredible things , at my stage in life takes be all my time do other things , and not try to understand the working of smart watches. Maybe it might be able to take me back to earlier times like a time machine, now that would be a real smart thing to be able to do. Either that or my wife is trying to kill me by over taxing my limited brain by over exertion in trying to get it work to my advantage. When you are 20 old age is what happens to others never yourself. Cheers JS

john i dont understand what a smart watch does.....or doesnt do ...but nice to still buy presents for each other ....let us know how it works and what it does ......one thing for sure it cant be smarter than my beloved ....she bloody knows every thing:rolleyes:

I have the booklet Cappy but takes me all my time to see it never mind read it the printing is that small . There is one of the young girls down in the reception area just off the bar, so will tap her up and see if she can educate me,
Would of course prefer being educated on other things , will let you know all the magic things when I know them.It says you can tune it into your computer, it takes me all my time to send an email. We were born too early that’s the problem . Cheers JS

well john we might of been born to early but we didnt miss much if anything at all .....wouldnt change it at all ....cappy
