random facts XXXI

so thats 2 of us turned on?:mickey:

 

Whats got your motor running this morning?

 

I've had the furnace going pretty much steady the last couple weeks. I like being able to walk around the house in shorts, t-shirt and barefoot.

 

^^^ me too, even in winter. Being in Canada that sometimes requires the room temperature to be up around 80 degrees.

 

^^^ lol, same here. I had it in the 80f range yesterday. It feels good after being outside in the rain.

 

I have my furnace set at 67f...

I went outside in my flip flops yesterday, I'd freeze my toes off if I did it today...Big change from the 70's yesterday to today down into the 30's...

 

no furnace here..just a woodstove

 

I not starting my woodstove back up until next fall...

 

My personal thermostat is set to 98.6 F.

My stepson bought a motorcycle for his cross-USA trip later this year. He had a little trouble with standing starts for a while, but got better after someone advised him to practice starting in second gear.

 

That sounds awesome!

 

last fire is generally around early may....then it starts again mid november

 

It's still a bit tentative - his partner feebled out cuz he couldn't find a job to buy a bike, so Nathan is thinking of going solo - we'll see.

 

Yea, going alone, that'd be kinda sketchy.


Fact: This thread could really use more cowbell.

 

I got my car to 80MPH in a 60 early morning.

 

I once got my old Toyota Tercel up to 140 kms an hour. I swear the thing felt like it was seconds away from just being torn apart by the wind.

 

I used to have a Toyota Tercel in highschool and I'd jump railroad tracks with it.

 

Jump railroad tracks?

My Tercel had just under 500,000 kms on it when I got rid of it.

 

I shaved today, its been 3 weeks. I look six years younger......

 

Yeah, the train tracks around here have an incline leading up to them to they can be used for jumps.

The fastest I've ever gone in a car was 107mph. That was in a Toyota Celica.
