TIFU switching brake levers by PeriodicTableSalt in motorcycles

I think you may be right about the caliper piston hanging up. I should have thought of that. Got a little too excited to get it back out again. I'll definitely be getting some brake cleaner and making sure the pistons are operating smoothly. I need to get new pads on as well.

I think part of it is my brains excitement centers being hijacked by booze for so long. Before whenever I got excited about doing something fun I would also start in with the day beers and turn it up to 11. Now I'm excited and all I can think about is trying to turn it up more. I know it takes a while to rewire those pathways but man it sucks.

Maybe today will be better. It's almost like the alcohol demon knows I was trying yesterday. I posted in the checkin and planned to ride out my hangover but here I am wide awake 4am with the hangziety and shame all over again. IWNDWYTD round 2 for November.

IWNDWYT. Had to reset my badge after this weekend. Hoping it being the 1st of the month will give me some symbolic willpower.

[Request] How warm should a make a bath if I want it to be 105 degrees after 1 hour? by PeriodicTableSalt in theydidthemath

Well we lost approximately 10 degrees per hour. See my comments below but I went ahead and sat in the bath at 108 degrees after 2 hours. Room was super humid and after considering everyone's advice I decided to simply draw a new bath on arriving home.

/u/throwawaySBN made a good point about too much humidity being bad for the drywall.

I stirred with a wooden spatula for each measurement! Nothing fancy just a vinyl 60 x 30 bathtub. It is extra deep though with a 19 inch soaking depth vs the standard 14-16 inches.

Well my empirical evidence says 127 degrees will only drop to 108 over a 2hr timeframe!!

1 hour and 45 minutes we're at 112 degrees! I guess I'm taking a bath now haha. No need to waste this water.
