Okay Mother Nature, I'm getting tired if this extreme heat BS. Getting on my last nerve. 

Whatever. It just means I can stay inside and watch track para cycling. This sight impaired individual pursuit is fascinating. You have the athlete sitting on a tandem bicycle behind their pilot. They have to be on the same page in both pace/cadence and the pilot can't start out too strong or it can be a disaster. 

This happened with one of the GB athlete/pilot riders with the pilot just burying himself in the first 2-3 laps and it was too fast for the athlete. They had to slow down quite a bit so the athlete could recover and it cost them a possible medal. 

The crazy thing is the pilot was about 2.5 times the size of the athlete. It was quite odd looking. The pilot's thighs were like (   ) and the athlete's thighs were like (). Lol.

That's bonkers. You'd think they'd go the way of Nascar or horse racing and have teeny tiny pilots to do the steering, less bulk to get around the track that way.

They should institute a "pilot template" like NeckCar uses. The pilot standing there for post race inspection would be hilarious.

If you have access to a sauna, via a gym, home or wherever. Give it a shot a few times a week for 15 minutes if you can.

I hit it after lifting weights on my end routinely. Has helped me out with dealing with the summer heat. I can sit in my car with the windows down, no AC, no nothing, just a breeze. Barely break a sweat now.

Hot tub.. And I'm in that sucker almost every night after I smoke a joint. Got it set around 93 degrees in the summer and 104 in the winter. 76 jets, lots of bubbles!! Extra bubbles after I eat Taco Bell!!

I guess the thinking is the pilot has to be similar in ability to the athlete whether it be strength in the short punchy races and endurance in the longer ones. At least both pilots were built similarly so it didn't seem too unfair. 

Today there were two riders in an individual pursuit race, one with two legs and one with only one leg. That seemed pretty unfair. I don't quite know or understand how they decide the disability rating from C1-C-5 other than C-1 is the least disabled and C-5 the most. At times there are riders from different classifications in the same heat like a C-4 and a C-5. A rider in a mixed class heat can also lose a heat but still hit an Olympic or World record in their classification. 

All I know is these folks are kicking [BLEEP].

I suffered heat stroke back in 2011 and cannot tolerate heat like I could before that happened, no matter how many times I've tried to acclimate myself going into the summer season. It doesn't help that a Rx I take to manage nasty headaches has a side effect that keeps me from spending time in the sun which we've had an overabundance of this summer. Hot, dry (lack of rain, not humidity) and way too sunny.

I used to be able to handle heat better than cold, but not so much anymore.  Try going out on a older tractor in the summer heat/sun/humidity as well as feeling the heat coming off of the tractor.  I am usually done by 11:00 AM or noon.  I tend to suck down bottled water/Gatorade like nobody's business and keep a bandanna in my cooler to put over my head or wrap around my neck when it is good and wet.  It helps a lot if there is a breeze, but I end up going inside to cool down (which I hate).  I would rather stay outside.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.

My maternal grandparents owned and ran a cattle ranch in Colorado. My grandpa would go out to the pastures six days a week and count cows, repair fence lines, cut and bale hay, etc., all in the heat of summer. I know he got hot out there and he had no relief because they didn't have A/C. I don't know how he did for 60+ years. I guess he was truly acclimated to it by never having A/C. 

My grandparents passed away in the mid-2000s and my uncle now lives in the house and still no central A/C but he does have a couple of portable ones so he can be relatively comfortable. He's retired but still has a part-time job 2-3 days a week so he spends a lot more time in the house than his dad did. He said he ain't built like grandpa was. Lol.

I'm just here to reaffirm my adoration for my new Nespresso machine. I've never been so delightfully caffeinated.

I got to use one of those recently.  They are wonderful.

I just got back from vacation in Stillerland.  Can’t say I’ve heard my in-laws so down on their team in many years.  I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make me a little giddy.

Does that make me a terrible person?

Meh, I don’t care.

Decided to try out different k cup coffees, not giving up on my regular brands (Maxwell House, Folgers, Gëvalia) tried a few new kinds the last month or so.. Tried Victor Allen recently, not a fan. Eight o' Clock wasn't too bad.. I did come across Tim Horton's Columbian K Cups.. Pretty damn impressive!! Not too bad in price either. I think I paid around $7 for a 12 pack of k cups.

I'm seeing these commercials for VRBO and 'hosted' stays. Why would you want to stay in someone else's house while they are living there?

Do people actually do this? Help me understand.

Yeah, that seems like a great way to get murdered. I’ll pass.

It depends on if there is free beer…

So instead of offering you candy, we just need to offer you free beer?
