What’s your threshold for pissing in the wind?
 
In my prime it was pretty close to most of my Antennas:

Fully Operational to 35mph gusting
Degraded Performance 35mph to 60mph gusting
Recommended Stowage 65mph
Survival to 125mph

These days, I’m probably 75% of those numbers. Hopefully I can plateau for a while. Would hate to think it’s a continuous downward spiral.

We had 25-35 wind gusts today. The direction was shifting...so I decided to use the indoor bathroom today.

With Finasteride I'd do a 90 degree tangent to 35mph on a good day.

Nothing keeps you on your toes like pissing in the wind and hoping that it doesn’t shift midstream.

I'm good at most things, just not pissing into the wind.

70SATMan 10-30-2024 09:19 PM

Pissing in the wind bet’en on a losing friend doing the same old things you’d never do again.

I avoid pissing into the wind. It's best to wait until you can get to a toilet.

As long as you piss downwind, wind speed doesn’t much matter.

Unless you are a chick…

Haven't needed to use a beerometer in years...

Going off the back of a hayride wagon is my personal best, using the wagon's slipstream.

Or the back of the boat trying not to piss on the motor.

Our upstairs bathroom is being remodeled. Pissing off the deck is happening regularly to avoid the walk downstairs. The house blocks most of the wind. I just have to be careful not to piss on the dogs.

Had a buddy in high school that ended up with a face full after he tried to piss out the passenger window while we were doing about 60 along country roads. We almost ended up in the ditch from laughing so hard.

Beer ‘might’ have been involved.

Always just put my back to the wind. It could be blowing pretty hard, and you could still pee off the carwalk if you stood in the right spot.

I once saw a man pee into a bucket stting on the elevator in the down position from the catwalk. Amazing.

I believe some of the guys were wagering on the outcome of the exercise.

It sounds a bit odd, but you need to keep in mind that Okinawa to Hawaii is a long ass drive

Trust me..it's a downward spiral. At age 80, with no wind, you're happy when your shoes don't get wet.

Teetering off the stern of a 30' Morgan... doin' a foot brace and hoping ya' don't fall overboard under sail ... wind direction doesn't enter into the equation... much :D

BTDT too many times to count.... no one ever went over .... beer balance counts for something .... I reckon' ;)
