Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Summer is here!

Curse you Randy and Rick. May the heat wave venture eastward towards Iowa and Illinois.

Wow, a low of 88 in Phoenix. I knew it got hot there, but had no idea that the lows were that hot. That's just insane! And here's the graemlin to prove it:

Does that mean we'll soon get to see the rest of your avatar.

We're expecting snow flurries in Rochester.

Madisonville, KY: HHH

Hazy, Hot, Humid!

I'm inside.

I can relate, just took the garbage down to the end of the driveway (150ft), and had a heck of a time breathing in that thick humid air.

LOL at your driveway story; I thought I was the only one who got winded by the ol' trash can relay.

My driveway curves and drops 15-20 feet before rising about 30 feet to the street, over a run of 500 feet. After the last downhill curve, I start running to get some momentum to carry me through the steepest rise. Then once gravity has beaten me, I slow to a walk for the last couple hundred feet up a milder slope.

That's all the exercise I get - my twice a week cardiac minute...

Trash can relay's a bit different here, living on the edge of the world here, with the soccer complex as our back neighbour, the next set of windbreaks north of us are a kilometre away.

We get a bit more of a lateral movement to our garbage cans with the wind. On a hard blowing day, everyone just meets on the next block and picks theirs out of the pile.

You have a 500 foot driveway? Shut up!

You guys know we're talking about The Weather and Garbage Cans, right?

Where's a good troll when you need one?

Yeah, I'm on a 2-acre rectangular plot that has the driveway running along the long side with the house at the back, way off the road. Great for keeping the pets, and, eventually, the kid(s) away from the road. There's a little creek running through a large pipe under the driveway, hence the steeplechase quality to my trash can relay... Lots of old growth trees that obscure almost all of the neighbors. Great for a homebody like me! When you (or anybody off these boards) are in the neighborhood, I'll treat you to a Westmalle Tripel and we'll crank some tunes...
