I need a temperature thingy
It’s supposed to be Spring, and yet I’m sitting here typing this instead of riding the Aprilia or flying the Acro Sport, both being activities I have planned for today.
I have never liked cold weather, and the older I get the less tolerant of it I am. I don’t even like chilly and come to think of it, cool kinda sucks, too. While it is supposed to get up to an official 69 degrees today, it’s now just barely 50.
So here I sit - waiting.
I’ve been driving BMWs for ten or twelve years, and all seem to have an annoying feature in the onboard computer that sounds a “ding” alarm when the outside temperature drops below 38 degrees. You start out in the morning and just about the time you get on the high way, this loud bell goes off - scaring the crap out of you while inspiring a mad search of the dash to see what has blown up. The warning bell on the new car is a little softer than the old one, but still . . .
I am convinced that this will shock you into a heart attack long before an icy road gets you.
What I really need is the same feature, but one that will jumpstart me when the temperature gets up to 70 degrees.
“Ding!”
Warm enough to come out and play.
