Took some clothes to wash up to the laundry area on the roof. HOT up there today with no clouds in the sky. Honolulu is showing only 80 degrees, but it has to be more than that in Waikiki. We routinely spike a couple degrees over the reading. I was sweating up there. BRIGHT, almost blindingly so. ---

\*\*THE VIKINGS WON!!! THE STEELERS LOST!!!\*\* **THERE IS A GOD AND HE LOVES ME** 🙂 I did a voluntary shift this morning for our delivery arm standing in 7 degree weather passing out the routes to the drivers for 4 hours. Heck, being the lone Siberian on the staff I figure I was genetically engineered for the job. Actually it was a ton of fun; the ZL side of the operation is still like we used to be all over with leaders instead of bosses. And it was a pleasure to give up a day off to help them out. ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **flytrap,** congrats on the new generator, but you are right, once a major investment like that is made, it will never be used (at least for it’s intended purpose). But if I could hook it up to Dogbutt’s or Spiderbutt’s ears…Perhaps both of them in series, or parallel. Experiment! ---

> [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > **spidey,** and that is why I don’t go out running in freezing weather (for that matter, I don’t run in 70F weather either). Hope the egg sammich was good… The run was fine, I was dressed appropriately ('cept for leaving my sunglasses at home) & was comfy out in it. It was the SNAFU of where to eat afterwards that was the problem. > [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > Took some clothes to wash up to the laundry area on the roof. HOT up there today with no clouds in the sky. Honolulu is showing only 80 degrees, but it has to be more than that in Waikiki. We routinely spike a couple degrees over the reading. I was sweating up there. BRIGHT, almost blindingly so. How blindingly bright, like exploding missile blinding bright? > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > But if I could hook it up to Dogbutt’s or Spiderbutt’s ears…Perhaps both of them in series, or parallel. Experiment! What an excellent idea; however, you’ll only have limited time when you have us together, so I recommend testing it out before hand. Why don’t you hook it up to both of your ears. Don’t forget, it’ll work better if you’re in the filled bathtub at the time. You’re welcome. ---

> [@Spiderman](#): > > PBR used to sponsor our team; gots many cheers from the college kids over our kits, which had their logo prominently placed over lower chest/stomach & the same place on the back. > This day is _cursed_ & it’s cost me quite a bit of $ for nothing! > First, got an email yestidy afternoon that they had postponed the race so I paid for a AirBnB/motel room last night that I never even saw. I emailed the guy about moving the date but he never got back to me. If he had responded & agreed to give me even some amount back I’d rebook with him for next weekend; instead, I shall trash him in his review (for not responding). :mad: :mad: > > Run club was a clusterF as to where to eat afterwards. We were going somewhere cheap that wouldn’t really accommodate us (I don’t know why it was chosen as it’s just not large enough; it’s more of a takeout place). Then the guys going on the _longest_ run were the ones trying to change location - ummm, it’s 12° degrees, we’re not standing around the parking lot, all sweaty, & getting colder waiting for you. One dresses to run about 10-15° degrees warmer than ambient air temp so we’re now underdressed & (sweaty) wet in frigid, windy weather. > Those of us that were there tried to go to a different place but I didn’t have enough on me (wallet was in the car; don't have a pocket for it in running gear) so I get some more . Place 2 is an expensive buffet & they don’t have room for us so we go to a third place (Wegmans supermarket) that is _supposed_ to have a breakfast/brunch buffet. They have a regular lunch buffet but as it turns out, they don’t have a breakfast buffet so a couple of us get egg samiches. As I finish mine, they decide on a 4th place to eat. Yeah, fine, enjoy, I ate. When I get out of the car again at my next stop, I realize that the extra $30 that I took out is now gone. Cost me $35 for a egg samich that we ate in \< 5 mins. :mad: > > All in all, I’ve spent a lot of money for **nothing** today. :mad: :mad: :mad: > [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > **Doggio** Yay for not working. Do NOT answer your phone. It didn’t righ, but I do have to answer. I’m the boss. > [@kopek](#): > > \*\*THE VIKINGS WON!!! > > THE STEELERS LOST!!!\*\* > > **THERE IS A GOD > AND HE LOVES ME** > > 🙂 > I d The 2nd part is good, anyways. Canes lost. Ugh. ---

We saw _The Post_. It turned out to be a movie about a woman assuming her place in a man’s world, rather than a story about the events of the times. More chocolate now. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/maybe-this-is-this-weeks-mmp/806129.md?page=13)
