Your up awful early....what happened, did you have a nightmare about the colour of your bike?

Lois

Strek · 10-23-2008, 7:21 AM

lois...No nightmares. Its just that I've always felt that sleep is for the weak. I've always felt that it is over rated and I'll have plenty of time to sleep when I die.

Hopefully that last part won't happen anytime soon.

Looks like you are up earlier then me. Aren't you further west then me? Alberta I think? Isn't that a different timezone then Chicago?

diamondhead · 10-23-2008, 7:30 AM

Sleep is a huge time waster.............hard to get anything done when you are sleeping!!!

DragonXX · 10-23-2008, 8:20 AM

Plenty of time to sleep when you're dead !
Although if I don't get my daily 8 hours' beauty sleep, I end up with a face like lois' avatar

lois · 10-23-2008, 8:28 PM

Ya, I'm working my beloved nights...

, and am up all night , 18:00 - 06:00....just happened to see you logged on, and it was rather early.

lois

ArmyStrong · 10-23-2008, 10:16 PM

Yep, sleep when ya dead!

Strek · 10-24-2008, 12:11 AM

Lois what is it that you do at nights?

Yup. I have the biggest train set in the whole world. My locomotives weigh in at 200 tonnes each.

I just finished building a train that is going from Red Deer to Vancouver, Via Calagry-Revelstoke-etc to the west coast.

This train weights 11426 tonnes, and is 6924 feet long....thats over a mile long.
It has 3 locomotives on the head end, they are GE AC44's and have 4400Hp each. The main generators in each locomotive produce enough electrical power to light a city of 5000 people. These locomotives just happen to be RED....lol

This is one of the units I happen to have here in the yard as we speak, and yes...it just happens to be featured on this power site....freaky.

I want to see an engine swap with that on a bird... but get rid of the electrical system and just run it straight from the engine!

Well, I can see an up, and a down side to doing that. The up would be the fact that you could take your front tire off and throw it away, because of all the added HP you would only be running on your rear.

The bad side would be, that your rear would have to be the same size as the tires they use on those great big rock hauling dump trucks, you know the ones.....the tires are 12' feet high and weight 1400lbs.....so.... flickability in the corners may suffer...

Strek · 10-27-2008, 6:46 PM

That set up might also generate a good deal of heat for the rider and you would need a step ladder to mount it.

Logoman · 10-27-2008, 8:38 PM

I was going to post something, but I lost my train of thought.

I'm a night owl myself. Hate getting up in the morning.

Strek · 10-27-2008, 10:37 PM

I remember reading that as you get older you require less sleep. I figure in that for me in another 5 years or so I won't need any sleep at all. Cool.

Lois... I believe that silverbrd and logman are looking forward to their next adventure together when the quarters run out.

Half of me wants to run screaming , into the hills.

The other half wants to go get a very high quality cam corder, a 24 of Molson Canadian and a comfy lawn chair to watch it all from.

Is that wrong?

Lois

SilverBrd · 10-28-2008, 7:09 PM

Nope Lois..... Let your gayness out.....it's ok ....we already know that you and Strek already trade nudie shots of each other in various positions. We also heard about the gerbils too and the close up with the video cams....... its ok really.... there are plenty of other homotards out there just like you.

Strek · 10-29-2008, 1:34 AM

SilverBrd... Nudie shots. Only with my girl. Gerbils. My daughter had some but they eventually kicked. I never used my video cam to record them but if you want I can take my video cam down to the pet store and do some filming. I know how excited that you will get.

You pawn off being innocent in a guilty way Strek. Trying to be slick throwing your kid in there for diversion.....

Didn't work.

So Lois dresses up as a female? Who does the Gerbil packing? You or her...him....Lois????

lois · 10-31-2008, 11:18 PM

Who said it was a gerbil ???

Logoman · 10-31-2008, 11:40 PM

The nice thing about living up North for Lois and Strek is that the gerbils are already sluggish from the cold which saves them from having to put them in the fridge first to achieve that docile packing state. Gotta laugh at the noobs who put them in head first, though. Talk about a gnawing sensation. The proctologists sure stay busy up North in the winter.

As for sleeping less as you get older...I don't think I sleep any less, although like tonight, I came home from work and crashed at around 6:30 and didn't wake up until 10:30. Now I'm on this forum with a couple of holdouts from the Rainbow Coalition and hoping I get tired enough to go back to bed.

Strek · 11-01-2008, 1:57 AM

Logoman and silverbrd. It sounds like you two may have run out of quarters again. Got to the spooning,, did you??? You would think that would make you tired.

lois · 11-01-2008, 2:38 PM

The thing that really scares the piss out of me, is the fact that up until now, I had no idea they were not to be put in head first.

Which leads me to the next logical question....how would LOGOMAN know this.......

I mean really.....

Come on.....

Just a simple question....

Lois

lois · 11-01-2008, 2:39 PM

and old or not.......now I'm to scared to sleep.

ever again.

Strek · 11-01-2008, 2:43 PM

I have to say that Lois raises a good point here. It is something that I didn't know. So logoman... WHy is it that you wouldn't want to put them in head first? Why would you want to do it at all? Is this something that you do when you do have quarters and are not spooning?

I was up late last night worrying about you and silverbrd running out of quarters.
