The question is – what is the coldest temperature that I have ridden my bike in. Hit the highway at 70 mph today at 9:30am with temperatures at 38 degrees – the layering and heated gloves held up well. It was a short test ride (15 miles). The inside upper legs were getting cold since they were taking a direct hit from the wind. (I had three layers of pants on).
We know
vodka + orange juice = screwdriver
vodka + cranberry juice = cape cod
vodka + grapefruit juice = greyhound
vodka + tomato juice = bloody mary
But what is
vodka + tamarind juice ??
Made a cocktail of Spicy Tamarind Vodka (by Smirnoff) and Tamarind juice (by Iberia).
Came out very nice. Next time, I will put some Tajin salt on the rim. I think the salt will go well with the slight tartiness.
The heated gloves have really opened up the aperture of temperatures I can ride the motorcycle in. It was high winds and low 40s. Yet, other than the slight discomfort of so many layers making quick movement of the arms and legs difficult and some cold wind still making it thru the helmet gaps, the rides are as enjoyable as spring or fall ones!
12 years back, on my way back home from DC, I used to post a puzzle almost every week. Doing the same today.
A little background… This week, in Chicago, Deval gave me a little gift. Apparently, she was in a store that sells calendars and came across a calendar that a math problem for each day. Somehow I came to her mind!!
And this is the first problem I saw on the cover page.
You remember mod right? It is the remainder remaining after you do a division. So 27 mod 6 would be 3.
The puzzle is:
15113 mod 113 = ?
I had talked about how, ever since I started having pen pals again, I am able to regularly write letters every weekend . Yet another upside is sitting down with the letters from the week over a cup of coffee and read them intently. First, there is always some very interesting aspects of stationery, ink, pen, decorations and the like. Second, the different people have so many different life stories, interests and insights!!
Just observing how different people in different parts of the world number their pages is an intriguing study!
This was from a couple friend in Australia and another from a lady in Lithuania!
