Three firsts today

Bearing in mind that I only passed my test three weeks ago and am
commuting to work in the freezing cold just for fun, Three firsts
happend this morning.

1 Exceeded 100mph [1]
2. Rear tyre gave a little spin as I accelerated out of a roundabout
3. Some **** pulled out in front of me without looking [2]

[1] I'm over 40 so taking it slowly
[2] I'm over 40 so anticipated her and had already covered the brakes

Ooh it's a lark isn't it?

 

Indeed. Well done on all 3 counts. Mind you, I did read your header
first time as "3 fists today", which in a freaked up way would have
been just as impressive.

 

You could try to emulate my fuel tank on/pri/res antics.

I was just dropping the bike of for its MOT and as such hadn't
bothered to fill it up with petrol electing to wait until it had
passed before I threw liquid tax into the tank.

It showed signs of needing more juice so I switched it from ON to
PRIME then to RESERVE a few seconds later before aiming for a bend.

This isn't an unusual event, but it is reliant on the bike actually
having been turned to the ON position for the last 130 miles. If your
bike starts to cough and splutter and it's in the RESERVE position
already it's probably a false economy turning it to PRIME then to ON
and heading for the bend.

Trust me.

 

Frantic grab for the choke time.

Huh?

 

I did that twice yesterday. First was gassing it whilst doing over a
ton on the motorway to overtake someone and the second was exiting the
work carpark in the evening.

Scary but fun.

 

I'm a Doctor.

 

I thought you were a travel agent.
Or is that just a cover?

I've got books and certificates and everything to show my
qualifications. I must be so exciting.

Apparently I'm not the only one that thought you got three fists today.

It sure is and congratulations.

Wait 'till the weather gets better, you'll love it.

Not really unless you can tell me why piss is sometimes yellower than at
other times. I guessed it might be the concentration factor[1] but it
wasn't cloudy. It was clear but coloured yellow.

I know why snot is green but not why piss is yellow.

[1] As in the density of fluid, not how hard I wanted to get it in the
middle of the toilet.

 

You're thinking sequentially, I see. Once the idea was implanted I
just assumed we were talking simultaneously...

Interesting!

I didn't know, for instance that "Urine contains large amounts of urea,
an excellent source of nitrogen for plants". So, there's my next excuse
for having a piss in the garden.

I'm glad to report I'm mostly healthy 'cos I've not had a dark brown pee
for eons, if at all.

 

If it's yellow you're dehydrated and need to drink more.
At least that was the rule in my younger, athletic days.

Oh, ta.

Now you mention it I do need to lose a bit of flab round my gut.

 

Try high altitude mountaineering. You'll be surprised at how much you
can drink yet still manage only about a cup full of orange coloured
piss

Apparently you should drink at least 5 litres of fluids per day once
you're above 15,000' but because it takes about an hour to melt enough
ice to get a litre of water hot enough to make a flask of tea I never
bothered. I used to get the water fairly warm and then just chuck
powdered fruit flavoured drinks into it and hope the drink didn't
freeze too quickly.

 

I've lost 11 pounds since christmas.



(fucking slot machines)

The message <>

Use it for an accelerator on the compost heap.

 

I thought everyone did that?

The Doctor has also read hat the smell puts off foxes, of which we have
a large number here in Sutton. So she's been directing me to piss in
strategic corners of the garden.

It's a bit strange, being used as a sort of organic DEW line.
