What Annoyed You Today?

[GrauGeist]

Wife had the same problem with a can of 7up. Hate to say this Dave but it isn't any cooler than Redding right now. Still 100 degrees at this moment.

Oddly enough, it was a can of Bubble-Up that coated the interior of my BMW.

It's still 96° inside this shithole of a house at the moment (@ 10:40 p.m).
No cooling and I can't get a contractor to come out and help...no matter though, I'm still living in my shop after two years and the cooler there has it at a comfortable 85° degrees.

The temps for Redding are forecast to be a high of 117° over the weekend - yay...

12 pack of Pepsi. On the front seat. One had gone before I got in the car, soaking the box. The rest went when I tried to lift said box. Think of the video of the guys popping Mentos into soda bottles. Yeah, that one. The cans were bouncing around like ping pong balls.

I was TDY to McClellen AFB one summer back in the late 70's. It took the VOQ a bit to get a room ready for me and so I left my luggage in the rental car. When I brought the luggage inside I found that my stick deodorant had melted and flowed like water when I took the cap off. I thought, "I have heard commercials on TV warn of Deodorant Failure but I never imagined that could mean structural failure."

We're only supposed to hit 114 this weekend so you win by three.

Every hear of the story about the lady that got in her hot car and a pop-open biscuit can in grocery bag in the back seat burst? She felt something hit her in the back of the head and thought the gooey stuff she felt was her brains leaking out after being shot. She sat there, holding her brains in, hoping someone would come to help, until a passer by asked her if everything was all right. She explained that she was holding her brains in and did not dare move.

Going in Tuesday for surgery on my right knee. Six week recovery time. Maybe I'll be able to get some of my unfinished models done.

Maybe this will feel cooler.....In college, I was driving through Idaho Falls, Idaho, winter, about 10 below zero at the time. I had a warm can of Coke with me, and I thought I'd be clever and bungie it to my ski rack and drive for a mile or so to chill it. Well, it chilled it alright. Pulled over and stopped the car (thank God), grabbed the can of pop off the ski rack, sat down behind the wheel (still stopped, again thank God), opened the pop-top and an enormous explosion of Coke slushy lacquered me and most the fine interior of my Ricksha '67 Datsun PL-411. Jeezus, what a mess. And I barely got a sip of Coke, as the can had nearly entirely emptied itself all over, including on my 8-track player.

Never really got it all cleaned up. My roommate solved that problem for me the following spring when he totaled the Ricksha on a laundromat/beer-drinking run. Good times!!

Oh, it's been hot as hell here in Boise lately.

Best wishes for you, dear Glenn.

Good luck! An old friend of mine had to have BOTH of his knees done recently, delayed by over a year due to the Chinese Wuflu. But things went well.

I had both knees replaced March 2016. I suggest, rather than building models, use the time catching up reading aviation books.

 

[T Bolt]

Thanks guys
Fortunately its not a knee replacement, just repairing a tear

 

[special ed]

Then you will be able to concentrate building models. My wife has had that done twice. It only made her more grouchy.
