What did you learn today?

[shadowtippy]

There are online instructors to teach you how to ride a stationary bike. I feel bad about myself for having worked at actual jobs for the last half century and people are now being paid to teach someone, via the Internet, to ride a stationary bike.

Today I learned that one grandchild for the day is 1/2 as taxing as two, though not 1/2 as engaging and entertaining...and I was only 1/2 of a couple the whole while.

Cutting the spaghetti squash in half and roasting it yields a far more pleasant result than poking holes in it and steaming/baking it.

Besides, you might get to use an ax in the kitchen!

That the rubber side goes down.

Yes.... I put my floormats in the truck with the rubber side down and don't notice they're both on the wrong side for about two weeks...

I like Bubbles better than Dirty Larry.

Ya - just funnin'

But it's a lesson I need to remind myself of every time I hop on two wheels!

Busy day, til some history regarding the school system in Victoria. But this is a series - one I'd overlooked - my mistake

I'm looking forward to the day when there are cultivated hybrid species of humans.

Just like dogs...there could be people the size of a Chihuahua...or people with huge ears like a Butterfly dog.

I'm more like a Sheepdog, myself..

While it's not something I learned today, I did learn pretty quick into my two wheeled experience that there are only two kinds of riders.

Those who have fallen and those who are going to fall.

As I always say to newer riders (and some older stupider ones) who don't wear helmet, jacket, boots and gloves all the time.... bikes fall over sometimes..... and sweat is a lot less painful than gravel rash.

I also learned today that when your cell phone provider goes offline for a whole day, the day is much quieter.

I cringe every time i see someone in shorts and flops blasting down the asphalt.

Dress for the crash, not for the ride!

I was admitted to emerg (for a non-motorcycle reason) one holiday weekend years ago. Guy in the observation room next to me was howling and squealing something fierce. I asked the nurse what was up. She said he was riding a motorcycle for his first time and put his feet down to stop in panic. Problem was, he was barefoot and he was riding on asphalt! OI!

Sorry about this, but I couldn't resist.

A lady friend of ours rides a Springer Softail and she sent me this meme. It's just too germane to the derail. I promise this will be the last one.

I really really wish you hadn't posted that.

But if it stops one yahoo from attempting it...
