Nope, not goalie.

It just feels natural for me as a lefty in hockey but I'm right-handed with everything else.

**intimid8er** · 06-13-2008, 02:21 PM

Freakin' weird.

MOTOHOLIC! · 06-13-2008, 04:07 PM

Not very. I've heard of lots of people like that... guys that play guitar with their left hands and do just about everything else with their right ones.

Same here, and in Baseball i can switch left and right

Geoff, I have shown great restraint in regards to you being a switch hitter! !!!

Just in case I do break down in PG.

geoffsimpson · 06-13-2008, 05:37 PM

You've been RUTHLESS lately!

And there was a deliberate attempt on my end to not include the term "Switch hitter". Now i'm feeling good about all the nice things i put in Motoholic's birthday thread...ol' timer

blackie1491 · 06-13-2008, 05:38 PM

Blue sky and Sun here!!
the wife and I were out on the patio enjoying a glass of wine!!

Hopefully a sign of things to come.

**intimid8er** · 06-14-2008, 06:50 AM

Don't know the temp, but it's muggy as hell.

So far have used a ton of fuel in the smoker to maintain a 250 temp. Been running it since before dawn. Oddly enough, the sun has come out, and the humidity broke. Like a fever.

Brisket's on the menu today.

Low&Slow · 06-14-2008, 08:52 AM

It's a great day, I'm sitting here in the office and we're finished for the day. I may just fuel up the plane and fly over to Tim's for some brisket.

Brisket sounds good right now.

blackie1491 · 06-14-2008, 11:09 AM

The forecast was for 3 good days starting today.

Cloudy and 52F.

MOTOHOLIC! · 06-15-2008, 04:26 PM

It is hot here... too hot to do anything.

Fly back from Tim's via Scotland, do a Brisket Bombing run over my house... Co-ordinates to follow.......

Good morning everybody! and a Happy Monday one and all. Had a great weekend.

Worked 'till about 7pm on Friday, came home showered up and chilled out in front of the telly, with Anne....Bliss!!

Saturday I was at the Giant sleepover with the Scouts, apparently all the different factions of the scouting movement within the UK were having a sleepover somewhere on Saturday night, which culminates with the world co-ordinated teeth brushing record attempt. 'Twas a lot of fun.

Then on Sunday (Father's day - didnae get a friggin' card, from either of 'em!), We had a ride out to the falkirk wheel....

Here.....

I went with these people.....

Some of the bikes that some of these people ride.....

Where we stopped for bacon butties.... (Kilsyth)

...and the view enjoyed by the rest of the riders for most of the day.....

All in all, a great day. Oh and BTW I got a phone message at 11.30pm from the youngest, wishing me a happy Father's day.

[landry googles "falkirk wheel"]

Oooh!!

Nice!!

Sounds like a good Father's Day activity.

<---laughs quietly to self at the latent joke buried in any attempt at record breaking in the oral hygiene arena by inhabitants Britain/Scotland.

themeatmanlandry · 06-16-2008, 07:24 AM

The more I read, the cooler that wheel is!!

I now understand what's going on. Once you get to the top of that thing, you travel "through the eye of the needle" (so to speak) along the other canal. Neato.

Sort of like a touristy lock-and-dam.

KD57 · 06-16-2008, 07:28 AM

Good morning to all !! Nice and hot here, 104 yesterday. Perfect.

Thassit, however it was deigned with two reasons in focus.

1. As the canal networks are enjoying a resurgence in both tourism and industry, many more are being reopened and reinstated, this one wheel replaces something in the region of 16 traditional canal locks, reducing the transit time from something like 4 hours to about 8 minutes.

2. provides an educational (Demonstrating Archimedes' principle) tourist attraction, which really does make for a pleasant day out.

BTW the 2 Gondolas, hold up to four canal boats each and weigh 300 tons each and it is driven by little more than the power of a couple of hairdryers!

Clear skies, 52F, high of 72.
