I've done the on the left thing a few times and for some reason people most often turn to their left. Almost better to say on your left and go to their right, or say nothing and whiz by. I've startled an off leash dog when rollerblading who gave chase. Nothing gets the heart beating and gives you super human speed like a huge german shepherd barking and nipping at your heels. After that I stopped using shared paths for anything but walking.



That really isn't much different than winter here. Three or four months of a crappy weather where you have to hide indoors. I think I could live with that if it meant nine months of beautiful weather.
Say "behind you", people tend to look over their left shoulder and wander to the right. IDK if this is because of how our cars and traffic system/laws are or if it is because people are right handed, but it works for me at least 90% of the time.

I just had to wave down a lady to let her know she had a Turkey jammed in her grill. She said she didn't even know she hit it. :-?

I would’ve just asked if she needed any gravy or maybe some cranberry sauce. And when she looked at me all confused I’d reply “because you got Turkey all up in yo grill, hoe!”

I’m pretty sure she still wouldn’t get it and it’d be all awkward when I had to explain that she hit a turkey and it’s stuck in her car:roll:

Is it salvageable? will you eat it? You can have Beans and turkey for dinner.:wink:

You could have field dressed it, strapped it to her manifold and told her to drive to Denver. It would be done by then and she could have a dinner aperitif and a blunt in the mile high city.:blsmoke:

It was gutted upon impact, I flipped it so its intestines weren't showing in the pic. Not much left of the meat.

I've accidentally cooked a chicken once in the farm truck going to get grain. It must've climbed into the engine compartment for warmth and got wedged next to the manifold. Thought it was a cat until I saw feathers. Fuck did that stink.

I had a bird somehow bounce up into the heat riser on the manifold of one of my cars. I will never forget that smell.:spew:

the dif between the scales is centigrade 100 degrees is boiling point of water, and Fahrenheit degrees is how warm it feels to people...
The original reference points for the Fahrenheit scale were blood temperature (which Herr Doktor F. got famously wrong) and the freezing point of an ice-salt mixture.

Later the freezing point of water was chosen as 32 degrees exactly, and the scale was pegged to the Celsius scale. One degree Celsius is exactly 1.8 degrees F. Makes for easy on-the-fly conversions.

The scales converge at -40 degrees (F or C; pick one).

Luckily it is a "dry heat" around here mostly. Had an old lady tell me "Oh it must be so cool riding that motorcycle in this heat." I asked her if she ever put a blow dryer up to her face because that is what it is like.
I'll say this. I've biked the Gold Country at 110 degrees. Evaporative cooling (using my hot-weather jacket which breathed) was adequate. In '03 I went cross-country on the bike some years ago, and I rode through East Texas when it was 98° and humid.
I started to hallucinate in that heat. I then proceeded to drink like half a gallon of Diet Coke in a wonderfully frosty 80° diner. It was half an hour before I was ready to ride the next leg. Beeville TX was the southernmost point on the route I took.

gotta love that TX heat.....lol...

on a serious note, gotta becareful in the texas heat......it will seriously mess you up. Dunno how many time i'd be working in the yards, and people would see me with a water hose dousing my head and arms to cool off so i won't have heat exhaustion and or stroke.....i've had a couple of those over the years...btw...the wife, she can't even venture outside when it's that hot......

I get to visit the dentist this afternoon and get my teeth cleaned and find out if the tooth I lost a crown from is savable. Either way it is going to cost me bank. Might as well go to the fish store while I'm in the area and replace my Coreys and see if they have some kind of algae eater. I think the ol' lady wants KFC while I'm in town also.

Yeah, I run the shower head with ice cold water over my head, when it gets a little much... I suffer from pretty bad heart disease on top of all my shit, so I try to keep still on the worst hot days or life feels like you just completed a marathon swim the whole time.

Went to the ROM to see the installation on the internment of Canadian Japanese during the 40's. I had no idea we did that until yesterday. Depressing AF, not sure why I I wanted to see that :shock: Wondered around for a bit and ended up in the kids zone, the best place in the museum! Digging for dinosaur bones, trying on medieval costumes, sword fighting and playing with the kids was a blast. I thought I'd be kicked out for sure once they realized none of the kids were with me, but they didn't hassle me at all.

Wife gets those cooling wraps cause of her MS, i borrow them from time to time, just to take the edge off. Normally when i'm hot i don't go into the house, cause i don't wanna cool off that quickly, so what i'd normally do, is set a fan on the porch, then have a cooling wrap and a wet town,to cool me down infront of a fan plus i've already cooled off with the water hose.....for me i really have to be careful, cause i've had heat exhaustion more times i can think, and i've had a couple of heat strokes too......
