BINGO report

We got close,  and we almost swore when we lost.
But Mrs HH did win a few $20.
She was pretty hyper, not sure what she had been into.
RS in the corner won plenty. She must have a horseshoe hidden in a dark warm crevice.

Summer Sex

Summer is coming soon.  Experts claim we have more sex in the summer. ( unless you are married to a fisherman).
Body image and self-esteem usually peak in the summer. We also show more skin.

Make yourself a summer sex bucket list !

1. Balcony Sex ( or patio or backyard ) both safe and thrilling. If you really want to be discreet, lay down on the balcony rather than have sex leaning on the railing.
2.  En Route Sex.   Maybe on the way to the cottage, to that wedding or weekend away. Find a place, and find a way. You'll arrive feeling fulfilled, connected and refreshed.
3. Sex in the rain  ( not really on my list ).  That Maritime rain is just too cold.

Numbness in the genital area

No, this isn't the Monday post !

"It’s no secret that some women can suffer the same numbness in the genital area as some men do from riding a bicycle.

Now researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have found a solution for women suffering numbness — set the handlebar higher in relation to the saddle."

Left lane change on a bicycle

You need to be able to check for cars behind you.
While we did practice looking back at CAN-Bike, I did find the following: "In order to maintain a straight line while looking back, first put your right hand near the middle of the handlebar, which gives you better stability. Before you do that, however, first look in front of you to make sure there are no potholes or other obstacles that might cause you to lose your balance while looking back. Then, take your left hand off the handlebar and rotate your hips so that you can turn your head enough to be able to see behind you."
The key is that as you turn your hips, you also use your right hand to counteract the tendency to want to turn the bike to the left; by using your hand to press right while you look left, you will be able to keep a straight line. Practice in a parking lot or, preferably, a grassy area, in order to become proficient at this."

It's important to see the car, and the driver. Make eye contact. If you can, look back a few times before signaling and the driver will know you are up to something.
Signal left plenty early. Signal more than once.
If the coast is clear, then go ahead and move over into the left-turn lane.
Now that you are in the turn lane, treat it just as you would if you were in a car. You may need to stop if the light is red, and hopefully you are in a low gear that will make restarting easy.  It's very important that when you make the turn you take the widest route possible so that cars behind you can make the turn at the same time.

Bicycle Hand signals

There is now a new accepted hand signal for turning right.
When we grew up there was these 3:

Now there are 2 acceptable right signals:

Remember your palm should face the traffic behind you when signaling to slow or stop.
Use the signals to change lanes, and routes.
You can't use them enough, it lets traffic know what you are up to.

Learning about shifting bike gears

It takes awhile to get accustomed to a bike, and especially the gears.


~~Most bikes have on the left handle bars, controls for 2 or 3 chain rings. You may have numbers 1, 2 and 3... or low, mid, and high. The chain rings are located by your pedals.  These front gears aren't actually used very much at all.  When you first get started biking, you should make a point not to worry about shifting them your front gears at all. Most experienced cyclists will pick one and stay in it probably 90% of the time.~~
If your bike has three chain rings, when you are on 2, the chain should be on the middle ring.
On 1, the chain will be on the smallest, and on 3; the biggest.
 So pick 2 or mid, and focus on learning how to use your back gears, the controls on your right handle bar.

The right handle bar: number of  will vary. My bike has 6 gears on this shifter, ( and 3 on the left meaning my bike has 6 X 3= 18 gears.)
If I am riding with 2 on the left, and 2 on the right = I am riding in 4th gear, and the pedaling is easy.
If I am riding in 12th gear ( 2 on left and 6 on right) and encounter a hill, I will gear down to 10th gear ( 2 x 5), or less.
If I am biking downslope, I will use my highest gear ..   Left 3 x  Right  6 = 18.
This is my favorite gear; slow pedaling with much distance,  but I try to ride on the middle chain ring for the most part. All around easier.
It takes practice to learn what gear you need where. In time you will find yourself gearing down without even thinking in preparation for the incline. Shifting down while pedaling hard, and it's hard on your bike. Look ahead, and plan.

Gears to avoid: 1 on left and 6 on right  and also  3 on left and 1 on right.   It's hard on your chain and your sprockets to be at extreme angles.

Don't try to shift when you are stopped. Bikes with traditional gearing are designed to be shifted when the pedals are moving, so don't try to shift when you are stopped. It's bad for the bike to shift when the pedals are not turning. 

Gear down before you stop and, and you'll be in the right gear that you want to be to starting out .

New Wedgeport Bell Mobility Cell Tower

~~The New Wedgeport Bell Mobility Cell Tower was officially in operation, at around 8:57 am yesterday June 11, 2013.
The new cell site is a HSPA +/4G site, so look for much faster upload speeds on your smart phones and improved cell service in Wedgeport and many other neighbouring line of sight communities, like hopefully out to Abbotts Harbour on one side and like to Chebogue on the other, plus inland a bit and for our fishermen, service out to sea for many miles. ~~

Bravo !!
