It's Raining; It's Pouring.

The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and bumped his head,
And he wouldn't get up in the morning

The rain is back. Thank you Vera.

Tillerman Tuesday. His Next Project?

How to build a Boat made of Trash & Recyclables! - More DIY How To Projects

I wonder what other projects the Tillerman has up his sleeve? Maybe a time machine, so he can thwart Mr. O'Docker from knowing the answers before today. If you are reading this tomorrow, it will be today for you, but yesterday for me. More or less. I'm confused!

Sorry guys, if you want wahines. look below.

OLIMPÍADA 2016 SERÁ NO RIO!

I wonder why the IOC choose Brasil? Hmmm, I wonder?

The Tillerman said, "Personally, I would rather go to Chicago any day." Dear Old Sir, you don't need a wetsuit to sail your Laser in Rio. Besides, have you seen the view? I know Bunty, "Shameless!" Chalk it up to my Latin blood.
