Loitering is not a problem today. Too cold.

I have no idea what that means. I presume it was not a good thing.

chucked a rickie = throwing up, i think.

up at a sparrow's fart = up very very early in the morning (as in, up at the time a sparrow rolls out of bed and farts)

Hey Sid, just in case you were wondering...

4 people actually showed up to autocross yesterday. I was not among that group.

It never got above freezing, but there was no ice on track. With just 4 people running they set up a few pylons, and each made bunch of runs.

ahh. Still to cold here for any fun. Went to use the gas fire place to take the edge off a room and found its dead so that needs to be looked at now.

How can a fireplace die?

We have a gas fireplace that has not been lit in several years. I think the last power outage was when we last fired it up.

Ha! That's funny

Morning again (I'm a little more awake now - half hour drive into the bush at speed does that).

Chucked is also used in the sense of doing something, ie chucked a wobbly/spaz (having a tantrum - almost to the point of going postal). In this case, I was doing a thing Rick often does (thus, chucked a Rickie) and woke ridiculously early (yup D, about when the sparrows started farting).

There is something wrong in the controls. The pilot light was out so when I went through the process of relighting it worked fine but when you let go of the igniter it goes out. Thats how it dies. We hardly ever use it.

The pilot jet needs a clean. Prolly just blowing some air through it will do.

Something tells me "chucking Rickie" would be hard to do....
