Dang! That's why it's so hard :-(

Get a dog. We have two, and if they don't get at least half an hour of brisk walking they can be quite cranky.

For really bad rainy winter days we have a recumbent trainer. Unfortunately it doesn't feed the generated watts back into the grid, just burns them off. Well, at least that heats the room :-)

That depends on what kind of car you drive.

I'd like to see one of them use a bank blade.

Some things just won't recycle.

It's the top end of the recommended range. Assessing cardio-vascular health is easier - just run a tap measure around your waist. If it is less tha 40 inches you are okay. For some reason, fat on the hips and thighs isn't a problem but fat in abdomen is.

Hello,

decades ago, I transported a pallet full of ski bindings using a forklifter without motor. The weight of the full pallet was about a ton.

Big deal. A pallet jack can handle a lot of weight, but only on smooth and very level surfaces. Try that uphill, or even better, downhill.

You keep saying that, but you never leave.

How much is a ton of ski bindings worth?

WTF is "grits"? The only time I've heard of that was decades ago when the Beverley Hillbillies ate "possum grits"

Grits is coarse white cornmeal.

Sort of like white polenta but more texture. It has a subtle, slightly bitter flavor of its own, but is delicious with lots of salt, pepper, and butter. Cheesey grits (parmesan, mascarpone) is good too.

If a serving costs 85 cents, it's "grits." If it costs seven dollars, it's "polenta."

It's usually a breakfast food, but it's great as a dinner substrate... shrimp and grits, grits and hash.

It's good fried, too, eaten with butter and maple syrup, like a waffle.

You can get Alber's Quick Grits in the hot cereal section of most Safeway stores, even in California. Pour, stirring, 1 part grits into

My wife is from Boston, but one reason I married her is because she loves grits. She says the same thing about me.

Some Yankee tourist goes into a nice, down-home southern diner and orders some grits for breakfast.

The waitress asks, "Hominy?"

The tourist says, "Oh, five or six should be fine."

I've been to a lot of places and eaten some exotic food, but I draw the line at insects.

Although, one time, I was helping a roommate clear out a stump in his yard and I spotted a grub about the size of my thumb, and found myself wondering if it'd be good eating. =:-O

Sure, 50 pounds at a time. ;-)

So, _run_ up the hill! ;-)

You do not "say it", but everyone wants you to leave, nonetheless. So leave, fucktard.

In another thread, John L. allowed as how he's a "speed freak," referring to downhill skiing. I wonder if there'd be a market for a "World's stupidest people" video of someone riding a pallet jack down a San Francicso hill loaded with "ski bindings." ;-D

(I've pushed/pulled a pallet jack around with a potload of transformer laminations and #9 square magnet wire, and it's no fun at all. )-; )

Cheers! Rich

Thanks. Never had grits in that case.

Duh. Tinker food. No thanks.

Hmm, that's not very efficient. But in terms of creating those 680W my body must be very efficient and offers contactless charging: I only need to look at a piece of marzipan chocolate and my weight starts to go up. My wife can eat all she wants to and her weight does not go up. This is so not fair.
