Afternoon folks

Hey reap. I went for a LONG drive today. Slowly getting more confident going round corners without slowing down dramatically. Feels so good once you overcome your fear of actually leaning into the corner.

But as I said before - my bike will go 70 maximum. And I rarely hit that. I just love cruising

That's good man don't get too overconfident. I love to cruise too. You have to learn to trust your rubber, it takes a little while but once you do you'll have no problem carving corners.

Today is a great day. Sure I'm running on four hours of sleep, but I would live this day again in a minute.

Yeah today was better. Hated the few rides after changing the tyre. Was constantly stopping to check I wasn't flat as I was convinced I was wobbling all over the place.

But the tyre is like a rock and Dad and I took the wheel off and checked everything and nothing is wrong.

Just my imagination I guess.

My biggest problem right now is burning through £10 of petrol in only 4 days

We have some amazing roads for driving on around here

Plus it's summer and the weather is amazing.

I was actually HOT riding my bike today !!

** About 170 miles on a tank.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #3225 on:** June 29, 2015, 07:09:00 PM »

I get about 150 miles to the tank with a 3.6 gallon tank, not bad considering it's a sport bike.

Good morning guys, I can't wait until Sunday. Our mattress gets here and I finally get to stop sleeping on this air mattress. My body aches.

Good morning, folks. How goes the good fight?

Hey there. Had a kid get hit in the face outside when getting propane when a 50 MPH gust of wind moved an unlocked barn door of a trailer. I was with him at the hospital until 10:30 pm Sunday night then got up at 4:30 am to work a 12 hour day. Hard 2 days let me tell you. I fell bad for the kid. He's a single father with 3 boys. Hard to get time to go to the doctors.

Chino · « **Reply #3229 on:** June 30, 2015, 09:23:20 AM »

What instrument did you use to measure wind speed?

It's called a TV, and I looked outside the window at all the tree branches falling in my yard. I live in the same town.

Thank Blob. I feel bad for him. We lost our safety bonus and I can tell he's upset about letting others down. It was a fluke thing but you've always have to be aware of your surroundings. Only you can keep you safe.

BTW, I saw the first episode of Humans last night. Really interesting idea. Cool to see how actors portray robots hiding their humanity if i could use that term. I also watched Falling Skies and wondered why you never watched that show. I love it.

Odi (the old man's synth) is especially good, having to play a less advanced android that is also malfunctioning. Now go and use the damn thread!

It's easily my favourite show this year.

Many shows I haven't seen yet or need to catch up on. For now I've got a few active scifi shows, so I probably won't be watching any others too soon.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3233 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:35:30 AM »

How far ahead are you in the series?

BlobVanDam · « **Reply #3234 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:38:37 AM »

I saw episode 3 when episode 1 aired in the US, so two episodes ahead. It just keeps getting better imo.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3235 on:** June 30, 2015, 10:40:00 AM »

Sweet. A few new show are really good this year. Strong starts.

Cedar redaC · « **Reply #3236 on:** June 30, 2015, 06:03:42 PM »

That reminds me, I need to catch up on Falling Skies. The last thing I saw was the end of season 2.

jingle.boy · « **Reply #3239 on:** July 01, 2015, 06:08:40 AM »

Canada Day. Adding on to Independence Day, and I'm making it a 5-day weekend.

Except for the fact that someone ROYALLY f'd up at work last night, and created a $22,000 issue for one of my customers that I'm invariably going to have to deal with over the next day or two. Why can't people fucking think for themselves and do the right thing?

King Postwhore · « **Reply #3240 on:** July 01, 2015, 06:46:52 AM »

Chad, I just had an employee that asked me to take a day off to try to find a new doctor. I told him since he works 4 days a week, he could do that on his day off Monday.

The answer........"Oh yeah".

Chino · « **Reply #3241 on:** July 01, 2015, 06:49:31 AM »

"Find a new doctor" is code for "I procrastinated and I need to cross the border and buy fireworks before the 4th of July ASAP"

My answer to him was no. We have a point system. He needs to be here. It's the busy season.

Victoria and I are thinking of spending Christmas away from our families this year. I hope Cuba is open for business by then.

Cuba is nothing special. Trust me. There are hundreds of better places in the Caribbean to go.

True. But I'm assuming three things;

1) To promote tourism, things like hotels will be priced very competitively when compared to surrounding locations.
2) Everything will be new
3) The sand on the beaches and the booze in my glass will be the same regardless of where I go.

As will your gut-rot from the shit food. I don't know a single person that has said they prefer Cuba over any other island, or tourist areas of Mexico. Oh, and stay on the resort. At least with other islands, you can explore and do other off-site excursions.
