You used to see impromptu devices on cars but with most newer cars using
on-demand electric fans I haven't seen them lately.

By newer you mean since about 50 years ago?


More recent than that. My '86 Ford pickup has an engine driven fan but
it's a longitudinally mounted straight 6. Transverse mounts need an
electric fan if the radiator is positioned for ram air flow. I don't
know if any transverse engine cars also mounted the radiator sidesaddle.

I wouldn't be surprised if many of the SUVs derived from light trucks
still use mechanical fans, although they probable are clutch or flex
designs.

Close enough for jazz.

It is really more like 73 and you would notice the 3 degrees if
you
jumped in.

You're not wrong about water. However, I can't remember the
last time I immersed myself in anything but water heated
to 101 F. I'm much more interested in the air temperature.

101F!!! You only get in water hotter than yourself!? How do you
lose your bodyheat? You'd eventually just melt.


Jacuzzi. I only spend about 20 minutes in it. Yesterday the water
temperature
was 101 F and the air temperature was 20 F. I radiated heat
through my head
and shoulders.

I take it to wash you do not immerse but use a shower then.


Correct. I hate tub baths. I haven't willingly had a bath in a
tub since I was 12, apart from one college summer when I sublet a
room in a house that had no shower.

Why are you so afraid of them?


Might have something to do with sitting in a pool of crap you've just
washed off your body? Hate and fear are not the same thing in most
peoples minds.

We don't even have a bath tub here. We have 2 big showers. I do have a
jacuzzi tho. If you are in there a while you get warm enough to stroll

"68 degree pool." "Close up capillaries." Not sure what you mean. 68F is a comfortable temperature for anyone. It's only 2F lower than room temperature.

It is a shock after getting out of 101 degree water.

Mr. Sword's understanding of thermodynamics is small. Heat transfers out of
the body much faster in 68 F water than in 68 F air.

You must be really dirty.

The water quickly becomes as dirty as you were and some of us want to
just wash the dirt off and send it down the drain without marinating
in it.
For most people the "dirt" is actually dried sweat, body oils and dead
skin cells. If I really get "dirty" (digging in the yard, mixing
concrete or whatever) I wash off in the outside shower before I come
in for a real shower.

Hence the number of household products available to de-scum bathtubs.

So that my husband can come in and sponge me, and vice versa.

Both of our showers are about 4' x 5' and one has a built in seat. It
is a woman thing I guess. Both have 2 shower heads.

Every shower I've ever seen is big enough to stand in and no more.


America -- bigger and better.

Gotta have room for the beergut?

Certainly enough room for a man and a woman to "get dirty" ;-)

There is something special about having sex in unusual places. You do
need to try not to get caught tho.

the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again:


It's more fun if there's a risk of being caught. I have only been caught once.

Yeah, you were caught WANKING in forests, you filthy unwashed chronic
******!

magazines for anyone to use."

I guess the UK is more prudish, most couples don't shower together (which I don't understand). I assume most often the shower degenerates into other things?

You mean encourages better things.

Actually it was my wife. She does not like small spaces.
I am OK showering outside and I have a nice one near the pool, hot and
cold water, not just the hose.

I assume your pool area is enclosed, or do you get on REALLY well with your neighbours?

I am fortunate enough to have found a property where my back yard is
not in view of any other neighbors ... unless they have a drone.

One has to be careful not to introduce soap into the urethra. Stings

My next big foray was writing in dBase. I came up with a barcode

guys dipping into the pot and no dedicated "counter" man.

My first tech job in a factory I set up the parts inventory in Paradox. It took me a long weekend, more than 20 hours work. I had to learn the program then figure out how to input. No help screens back then, not in DOS. Maybe on the Mac.

My boss (plant manager) had told me he didn't know what this Paradox thing was, find out and buy it.

After lunch he called me back in, corporate had told him buying software was prohibited, do not under any circumstance buy that stuff. I said, "uh, boss, you mean this?" and held up the box. Hey, you gave me an order, I got it done. He said oh crap, well keep your mouth shut about it.

A lot of my time was actually in tracking down the bar code hardware,
printing program and integrating it into dBase. I wasn't supposed to
spend any money either, In fact the dBase we were running was one of
the 2 licenses that come with the package I bought for myself. It was
funny when you were sitting in an IBM office watching the start up
splash screen and seeing "Licensed to the Estero River Bait Guano and
Seafood Company" sitting there.
