Holy crap it's hot: a chastity belt in the heat.

Next they will pass a law and ban MM from selling his products in the EU as he takes all the measurements in imperial!!!

I think I have "understood" the metric system better since dealing with MM and Steelworxx than I ever did in the past. They tried back in the 70's but it never set in. By "understand" I mean have even a remote ability to take a measurement in metric and understand how big it is in my reality without converting it to inches first.

I love the stroke-counting discrepancy. lol.

I counted "in-out" as two, and she as one.

I presume her method is more practical, as an odd-number would leave me stuck inside.

Tomorrow it is off to the vet, 60 miles / 100 km away for a check up on the dog. It is supposed to be miserable hot again, the car A/C is out, Beth doesn't like A/C anyway, and our car battery is dead to boot. - James.

Back to 106 F / 41 C again today! At least it is supposed to get down to 68 F / 20 C tonight. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5699404

Miss Beth is still leaving me out of my devices as she doesn't want canned and cooked genitalia.

We had to go to Scottsbluff (60 mi / 100 km) to take the dog to the vet, and we've no air conditioner.

Again with the dead battery. We got a boost from the neighbour, and we were off.

While Miss Beth was in with the vet, I was upside down under the dash of the car, as I found the brake lights were stuck.

It was so hot outside that the plastic piston on the brake light switch had melted on the metal brake pedal. That is why a couple weeks ago on our last trip to the vet the cruise control on the car suddenly stopped working, and a few days later we were having battery trouble. The bloomin' lights will not shut off.

Went to the mechanic; as we own the only foreign car in the county (a Honda), there was no chance of a new switch until Monday. So it's on order, and I have a clothespin attached to the brake pedal to push what is left of the switch to turn off the lights when not using the brakes until then.

That is just too bloody hot. (I like English slang, they have a bunch of cool words. On the way to Scottsbluff for example, some railroad workers were working, and they had a porta-loo setup mounted on rail wheels.)

Miss Beth may be sliding down the slippery slope from vanilla to domina, but even most dominas are not cruel enough to cook my genitalia. - James, in Wyobraska.

I love the stroke-counting discrepancy. lol.

I'm glad you liked the difference in stroke-counting.

The dog got to the vet, and we are no longer without an AC in the car - Anymouse recharged it in the parking lot of the auto parts store.

It works fine, but I sure needed some anti-inflammatories on the trip. My issue with air conditioners is that they really bother my arthritis. He kept asking me if I was okay, but I couldn't decide if the pain was worse or the heat was worse. Now, I've just got both.

I decided that it would not be wise for him to wear it today - not with all of the heat AND being away from home AND sitting. I don't want his skin to break down more from having sweat held in there, and if I'm going to have cooked testacles, I'll go to a bull-fry feed in the spring. I might have a better use for those testacles. I told him that the state of "chastity" is mostly in your mind, and the belt or device is only an outward sign and reminder of that (as well as to keep the "parts" from being touched until certain types of T&D when they work better with no touching for days or weeks). He took that phrase, and wrote a parody or "filk" of "Windmills on my Mind" with new words which are MC related, posted in the "Fiction" section.

Being in the heat, and with all that artificial air in the car has taken it out of both of us. He's still out of his chastity belt or device, but is unable to do anything sexual anyway. There''s no doubt of that.

While the humans and dog were out, Felix the 23-pound cat took it upon himself to keep the dog's canned food safe and secure. I found him laying on his back, covering the end of a bag of it with his body, using 2 other cans for a pillow, and had another can safely tucked under his front leg. I couldn't get the camera in time, or I'd be selling it for Alpo to be using in an ad.

Well, now that the heat has moderated somewhat (88 F / 31 C) http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5699404 here on the High Plains, I am "back in the saddle" (the steel saddle). - James.

O's since June 18:
Me - 0
Miss BethK - she lost count.
