Thanks Gary for the win.

So another round shall begin.



Now for the rules:
-------------

1. The winner of the last thread starts the new one with a post of these rules.
2. Chooses a future event which triggers the winner, e.g. post number, date-time, and records it privately somehow (yellow sticky, etc.)
3. Everyone has fun posting until the target event is reached.
4. When the target is reached, the old winner posts a declaration of the new winner and also PMs them.
5. Shortly after this a Mod will lock the recently won thread. (My preference is for the winner to ask the mods to lock the old thread after the new one is started.)
6. No double posts. Violators buy drinks or a meal for the house in Rocky's.
7. Additional rule retained from the last round - No posts that APPEAR to be blank - these will be ignored or deleted. (Sig lines do not count as part of a post)
8. No picture-only posts - not all pictures we link to show on everyone's computers & phones.
8a. Keep the number of pictures per post under 3 or less and/or make them tiny and links to full size.

Don't forget to have fun.

Congratulations Mike,

But... huh the previous 'screw romans' disruption just continues... with the thread number...

Well done Mike.
This should be fun with a barman in charge ;-)

Congrats Mike.

Well we're off to a windy and cloudy 13C (feels like 10C) start with just 22C being expected today.

Anyhow it has to be time for a 2nd coffee as I decide on what I won't be doing today.

Cheers.

Thanks Wiggo.

Time for another beer.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Mike.

Welcome Mike.

One of those days. Front gate at work was taken out in a car crash. Car that did it left on a wrecker. Just too many idiots trying to go too fast and swerving to miss pedestrians and each other. They did miss the person on foot, at the expense of the gate.

When you put a 18 inch 45 degree bend in 3x3 inch square steel column and of course another bend at 30 degrees in the base ... At least there seems to be an insurance policy.

Congrats Mike. Don't worry about the Romans. You got close.
It's zero C and windy. No snow but the roads are icy. Good night to stay indoors.

It seems that 19C (feels like 18C) is the best that we can get here today.

Anyhow, back to a bit more streaming.

Cheers.

-2°C in the morning... reaching 7°C in the afternoon. The weatherman explained 'continental air mass under high pressure influence'... that is: sun, sun and even more.... sun...

Thanks again all.

It's sunny and cold 4C.

Good morning Setisens. Looks like winter has taken my town back. Currently -2c with 8 km winds. Sunny and warming to 8c.

Posting on a Hump Day morning which got off to a very cloudy and breezy 13C (felt like 11C) while 22C is again our target for today with the possibility of showers.

Well I was planning on doing some gardening today, but under this threatening sky that may not happen.

Anyhow it's time for another coffee.

Cheers.

Not that many miles to the South I needed the A/C in the car on the drive home.

Don't need the heat during the day here. A/C feels nice. Tomorrow is predicted to be 52°F and warmer each day after.

We could only manage 20C (felt like 17C) today and it's now 15C (feels like 13C) on our way down to an expected 11C.

Cheers.

We don't have A/C in homes here, but since the late 1990s, it hasn't been considered a nonessential luxury for cars. At least two months of summer are mostly hot. But what I can't imagine is how people in the past used to drive around in S California or the southern US states in cars without A/C.

We drove fast and with open windows. As a kid driving through the desert, I came up with the idea of wearing a light windbreaker-type jacket and sticking my arm out the window. I held the cuff open so that the wind filled my jack with cool air. Remember too that So California is desert. The heat is dry. Throw some water into your hat and the evaporation will keep you cool.

I bought my first mobile A/C 12 years ago.
When we're getting older we don't cope with heat very good.
