John,

 Thats just Popeye that gets all the strength from spinach. Hard to beat good spinach though.
 Retired just means changing places of work. Nice being my own boss again.
 Your recipe is simple enough. I thought you had some special ingredients like linseed oil.
 Doesn't  the oil tend to collect dust?
 Have you ever see 32 inch original Challenger round spokes??
 
Thanks Dennis
