I sipped on a bottle of Bundaberg Wooded Oak Special rum type stuff, I was saving up to share with Tackler. Of course, that never happened. Contents are gone and so is two thirds of what little brain I had left!
It does make one crazy!!!
Happy New Year, everybody on this truly wonderful forum!!

happy new year Bert ...and all the fantastic friends on the Forum
sipping on a cool beer after a hard day at the salt mines , at last just 37 c and 60 % humid in my little shack till the aircon struggles to get it down a bit ...
overnights typical temp about 23 c ...quite likely till the end of march
lets hope it warms up just a bit for our northern neighbours soon

What's everyone complaining about? We had 35 degrees yesterday too. But the darn C morphs into an F when it goes North. Is there a fix for that?

Get over the Deg C Deg F thing once and for all and just measure everything in Kelvin. I never did understand the Fahrenheit92KK 84WW Olaf wrote:What's everyone complaining about? We had 35 degrees yesterday too. But the darn C morphs into an F when it goes North. Is there a fix for that?
scale anyway and still struggle to know whether we are supposed to talk in Centigrade or Celsius (which both seem to have exactly the same scale).
So if K100 = cool......then 100K = cold (seriously cold!)
& K1100 = hot.....then 1100K = hot (seriously hot!!)
Ideal riding range 285 - 300K....which also, probably, equals the distance in k(m) between loffee stops.
Easy and designed with the K rider in mind.

OK, let it be clear if we are talking in degrees Kelvin:
°K75 ---> cool
°K100 --> Perfect
°K1100 -> too hot
°K75 ---> cool
°K100 --> Perfect
°K1100 -> too hot

Weather in January in the Seattle area, 50F (10C) and raining. Weather in July in the Seattle area, 50F (10C) and raining. The weatherman says it might rise to 11C by Saturday, and no rain!

I have heard that the Fahrenheit scale came about by making 0°F the temperature of the coldest cellar in Paris and 100°F the melting point of butter. Now how true this is I don't know but it sounds silly enough to be right.

Well, This morning the temperature here in Denmark is 2 Celsius, I actually didn't know about the Rømer Scale before seeing the video above.
I'll need to work on that

No snow on the ground which is a 75 years record here on the Canadian East cost.
Too bad... With the swing of temperature they have to salt the road and the bikes have to stay in the shed.
Maybe the denying of climate change by an "influential" neighbor is after all working.

I prefer the 7 years old. The 10 years is more classic and twice the price.
