Super funny to see the doc's reaction though. She looked at me the whole time until she saw my throat like I was a hypochondriac. After peaking she looked at me like wtf, how are you standing here?

That part is easy. I am riding with others. Can't over do it since they aren't superman. I always wait for whomever is behind me as I feel responsible to make sure they are safe. Normally that is good for everyone since I lead and deal with the oncoming idiots. For once I may let someone else lead...but we will see.

My muscles are a bit sore, but nothing compared to how they were when my back was out of whack. I have a monster tolerance for pain...so ain't right is an understatement.

I feel pretty good really. Just sore a bit. Will slow me down more than the other guys perhaps. Might not have to wait for them as much this trip.

Fuck that, I am going snowmobiling tomorrow. Priorities. Doctor was shocked. Normal appetite, no other side effects besides sleeping 2x what I normally do, but my throat was HUGE and RED.

I've been sort of sore and slow all week. Went to the minute clinic and BAM strep throat.

Antennas are not. I use one for local tv. My only >1080 TV is my office monitor which is 3k though.

Is anything broadcast in 4k yet?

projects getting somewhere!

Wakeboard and ski boat controllers/headunits regularly have a kid input so you can bark directions at whomever is behind the boat. That would be the easiest method IMO.

100% cotton are the worst for absorbing and releasing water. Could dry clean them 1000x and have them still look better than 20 in a top loader. Of course the sweat stains would be nasty.

In a top loader dress shirt sleeve ends and collars are good for 20 or so washes and then they will start to be thread bare. In a front loader 100. At $40-100 a shirt it is a no brainer to but a front loader. Jeans are tougher but follow the same'ish formula.

We did mechanic uniforms for a while and the slobs we did them for were so dirty we had to dry clean them and then wash them. The shit was so nasty it gobbed up a professional machine so we bought consumer ones to do it. The year we had top loaders our garment cost sky rocketed. In the end we figured about 5-7x the washings in the front was equivalent to the top.

Wash something that is on the hairy edge of being thread bare in both a top loader with an agitator and a front loader and you won't want to use the top loader ever again.

Washing wears out your clothes faster than wearing them. WAY faster. I used to dryclean my clothes for this reason. The literally lasted 10x as long. Black jeans even stay black, it's crazy how much wear happens as the fabric cells soak up the water and release it. And yes of course the dryer is uber hard on them as well, but if there was no water that wouldn't be the case either.

From 1926 until I was 27 it is what my family did for a living. I am mean with an iron lol

Yes, we learned that the hard and easy way. Went through a ton of top and front loaders that weren't commercial all while the commercial one kept on going. Commercial front loader we had would take 50 pairs of jeans.

One other thing front loaders are better at. Breaking.

And Matt, just put the woofer so it isn't centered anywhere and you are golden.

Or if you put in too much soap. Half of what the Tide thing says is better than a full amount.

They are better at getting dirt and grime out. They are also more gentle on your clothes. Amazing how much the agitator doesn't agitate what you need and agitates what you don't need. Much more even in a front loader. Of course kiss this all out the window if you over load it which everyone does.

It's funny that southerners can cook because eating out in the south is fucking terrible. Nearly inedible horseshit terrible.

Shit there is something wrong with me. 71,001

Nearly. 6hr North of me is Canuckistan, I will probably kiss the border on the sled but the truck will only go 3.5hrs North.

It is melting today, I sure hope so.
