LOL!!! The Nuggets are going to do the same thing to the Heat, except that won’t be staged.

It's actually a go-kart track, though they allow cars to go on it, as it's wide enough and it's always organized in stints so that it's never more than 6 cars max at the same time. It's fairly short, but has lots of nice corners to practice racing lines or drifting, so it's super easy on the brakes, but an oil cooler is a must, as the car can easily overheat as you never exceed 70mph and you can't actually cool it a lot.

Man, i wish we south floridians had a track like that, that would be really neat. The closest track around here is homestead and sebring.. you're lucky to have that resource.

And you're right, an oil cooler is a must have track or no track.

i'll post more in my topic regarding my Nürburgring trip, but just here while on topic, funnily, this small track with a lot of corners and relatively small high speeds, will make my oil come to 110°C if I really push it for 10 laps in a row, whereas the Nürburgring, which is notorious for really torturing cars, wouldn't make my oil go over 105°C and I was driving it pretty well. Just goes to show how important having actual airflow also is to cooling components.

After 8 months of job hunting, where I have been rejected by companies, where I have been rejecting job offers, where I have been on 56 interviews to date since the time of searching (5 of which were from this past week alone), I have narrowed down to 3 offers. One of the offers, I accepted 2 weeks ago and the start date is this coming Friday, but will likely tell them that I am rescinding the acceptance.

Going from commission to a W2 salary employee, the pay cut is noticeable, BUT, I will have my life and sanity back.

Me: I'll have a BMT with everything but tomatoes on white, toasted with salt pepper and oregano.
Purple haired wokster: ok, you want lettuce on that? Slides the sandwich down an inch.
Me: yeah, everything but tomatoes.
PHW: you want tomatoes with that?
Me: No, everything BUT tomatoes.
PHW: you want onions?
Me: blank stare...
PHW: sir?
Me: YES! Everything but tomatoes!
PHW: you want tomatoes?
Me: I'm sorry but I dont have the patience for this. Make whatever you want.
PHW: calls her manager who looks like a human pin cushion.

Human pin cushion tells me I'm rude. I laugh.

Comes time to pay and PHW got weepy when I wouldn't leave a tip. Told me I was a horrible human being. LOL!

Thank God I'll be dead before these clowns will come into power. This Country is screwed.

Rant off...

"Obesity changes the brain, with ‘no sign of reversibility,’ expert says."

It could be a number of reasons, whether too scared to start, not knowing where/how to start, laziness, procrastinating, too cold, too hot, raining, snowing, etc., if you are not working out/exercising, the best time to start is NOW. Start off slow and work your way up gradually. You don't need fancy clothes, equipment, or a gym membership. A simple walk around your neighborhood can go a long way.

speaking of working out, its supposed be the hottest week thus far here in florida... if you're trying to cut weight, getting outside during this heat and putting in that work, this is the opportune time. :ugh:

For anyone out there thinking it's easy for us fit people......it's not. Trust me, I am in same pain, suffering and tears as much as you are, or the fat dude over there. It never gets easier. You just get faster/stronger. But the pain is always the same, and that's ok.
