08/05 - Swinging Sunday!

live image of me doing this HIT
__ Coffee Shop World Experiment __

 

Works, but in 90+ degree weather, you feel like you'd rather drive into a wall than be in that for longer than 5 minutes. Plus it is expensive af for good quality, as opposed to jeans and a decent jacket.

 

I think I’m gonna have to wheel Matt around later so he doesn’t fully lose his mind

This HIT is a joke!!! I don't want to enter in the survey content, but you CANNOT win the real bonus, it's just a joke. As I wrote to the requester: AWFUL!!!!

It would make it even more expensive but it should be possible to design the armor with heatsinks and liquid cooling of some sort.

And dunno a thousand or so dollars is a small price to pay to not die a horrible death.

 

Meh. Matt was wearing his normal pants but his top and gloves and it definitely cushioned his fall and I’m glad. Plus, his beautiful face still looks pristine muahaha.

They also make kickass vented safety jackets for the hot weather! I’m never super hot till we stop.

Of course, won’t be needing that for awhile i guess

 

Maybe I should take that out of my Panda...

 

it really does help just to get out of the house. A change of scenery and fresh air does wonders. Plus it will make him tired (combination of the physical activity and fresh air) and he will likely nap for awhile giving you a break

Sure, if you don't have big kid bills to pay on top of it. Most people you see in that set up are the young 20 something year olds that don't have anything to spend money on but their bike hobby. And then they still drive like jackwagons and get hurt, that gear only gets you so far vs. a truck

 

“And dunno a thousand or so dollars is a small price to pay to not die a horrible death.”

This is pretty much exactly what matt said.

 

my endurance ended after 20 minutes in and got $0.50 bonus from this requester lol

 

Just missed a hit named "Read a story about a post-apocalyptic America!"

I always miss the interesting sounding ones.

OMG I just saw the progress bar is that all the further I am

 

Eh. Most of matts coworkers have decent safety gear cause they all are very well aware the damage that can happen and don’t wanna risk a super long break from work. A lot of them ride and a lot of them have families and careers they have no urge to disrupt from a huge injury. And I’m talking middle aged dudes, early 20s, dudes in their 30s. You would be heckled for not being somwhat prepared. They are all real sticklers for safety lol.

 

Time to get Matt a tron bike + gear for when he recovers.
