hot tubs 4 hire image
just_askin
I am planning to ride a motorcycle from DC to Florida in early January. I live in Florida and I am going to DC in December, and I will buy a motorcycle there. I want to ride it all the way back on January 10. I assume it is going to be freezing cold. Has any of you tried this? Is it feasible? I just don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for shipping the motorcycle.
Please help.
Thank you.

I used to ride from Missouri to Florida every year in late winter. The coldest was when I left Missouri on January 31 @ 25F. The first 4 miles was packed snow but the rest of the riding was on dry roads. I put on 500 miles the first day and was suffering from hypothermia even with a full dress bike and wearing snowmobile gloves, electric vest, 2 pairs of jeans, insulated underwear top and bottom, sweater, hooded sweatshirt, heavy duck insulated coveralls, leather jacket over that, insulated rubber work boots and a balacave over my face. Oh, and a helmet. I looked like the Michelin man. The highest temp was 39F but it was the long term exposure to the cold without physical activity that got me cold. By that evening, my hands were so cold that when clutching, it was either on or off because I couldn't modulate the lever. My thinking processes were slightly impared, but not excessively. I got a motel and had to soak in a tub of warm water for a half hour to stop shivering.
If you're going to do it, you must have a good windshield if you plan on riding any distance at all and wait (or hope) for a warm spell. Layers of clothing is the secret, electric clothing helps immensely and leather breaks the wind without trapping body moisture inside like plastic does. Stop often to eat hot foods and drink warm fluids. Forget coffee because that'll make you have to pee and take my word for it, digging through five layers of clothing for the puckered up little guy is taxing to say the least. If the bike has no fairing or only a little sport type fairing, forget the idea of making any kind of miles.
As mentioned, look at shipping the bike, buying closer to home or if oyu know anyone in the DC area, see if you could hire someone to take your bike with theirs when they go to bike week at Daytona. You could probably save money and the person would be able to cover some of their gas bill on the way down.

How do i make my resort profitable in sims 3?
John
I just got a resort from an investor so i converted it into a resort and i started working on it and i made everything with the most expensive eco modern design and now it keeps saying it is unprofitable....how do i return it to profitable?
Answer
Hi! Is this on the No Trouble Atoll island? My resort there was profitable from the start. Have you seen reviews to see why guests are complaining? And made the pricing expensive? That'll bring in funds. Wait, the occupancy is full, right? I guess you have to wait awhile before the star rating goes up? I read on Carl's forum that the rating only climbs by one star a day, although in my game one of the resorts had four stars from day 1. There's a sort of checklist, but I'm thinking you must've already run a five star resort in order to get the island in the first place and must already know these things. But still, here goes:
1. Have a large pool area. Chlorinate the pool. Get a couple of pool bars. (Or get one pool bar and one regular Late Night bar, if you have the expansion)
2, Have a couple of hot tubs. Set water temperature to 'hot'.
3. Hire 3 high quality maintenance staff.
4. Have all kinds of food on the buffet and at least one food stand. Quality of food should be medium or, more preferably, high.
5. Have two firewalk pits.
6. Turn on room service in the resort tower, and also spa service, if it's fully upgraded.
7. Enable graveyard shifts at the bar, front desk, and food stand.
8. Have a gym area with four machines - two cardio and two strength.
When I made my resort there, I basically just placed a tower, a tiny pool, a couple of treadmills, one buffet table and an all in one toilet, and it was still profitable, so I'm sure yours will come around too.
The design doesn't matter much, I think. Using EA's blueprints seemed like a big waste of money to me.
