Dirtyhip Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share #12 Posted February 7, 2019 I have rode all year so far. How many of you Bastards have done the same? It gets tough.

I got to wondering what the max temp can be, and my mind got blown! It's a big number. In the Planck temperature scale, 0 is absolute zero, 1 is the Planck temperature, and every other temperature is a decimal of it. This maximum temperature is believed to be 1.416833(85) x 1032 Kelvin degrees, and at temperatures above it, the laws of physics just cease to exist.

Dirtyhip Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share #38 Posted February 7, 2019 Sorry. I had a moment this morning. Didn't like the prodding. The truck had a warm heater. My bike is here, and I can ride home. People in my hall are dropping like flies from the flu. Pretty much everyone around me has been sick. Luckily, I have avoided it. Was feeling a tad frayed, and today broke me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep on keeping on, I pray for you to continue to beat this cursed disease. My assumption with DH is that she is tough as nails. Implicit in all my comments to her (but not to someone like jsharr) is a high measure of respect, and any level of snark or heckling by me to her is my belief that she is more than strong enough to brush off my inanity. So, I'd apologize except I think she properly flipped me off already. IOW, DH ain't a snowflake! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I feel the expression tis a silly one. When has my uncle ever came to help me? Seriously. Crying out "Uncle" is somewhat useless. Instead, I cried for help. My husband stepped up. It is going to be real tough, if I have a bad morning and he is working. He works a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
