12.12.22 (MP3): Crap Weather Automotive Operation - Things to Think When There's 0 Degrees, w/ Tires & Batteries VS Cold, Breaking Down VS Picking It Up, & a Little About Dirty Oil from Dirty Politicians, + Great Westerns, Good F1, & Supreme Court Lumps
Prepping versus being prepared: what's it take to keep the little things from killing you when it's snowing icebergs and polar bears (because there's no second chances at zero degrees), and intelligence versus smarts for dumb stuff like tires and recovery (because the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major one in cold weather is you). More fun: western actors and movies you didn't know were worth your time like "Night Passage" and "Ride Clear of Diablo" (with Jimmie Stewart, Dan Duryea and Audie Murphy), and a few thoughts on "Good/Bad/Ugly" versus "Fistful of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More", and the unappreciated genius of Eastwood, Van Cleef and Wallach. |

So much to upload - sorry, so busy... Garage Hour is on it, though, so don't 'fraid dat: we've got a goodly gearhead glob of geeksauce here. Undercar neon, roundhouses for parking your locomotive and your caboose, sawzalls and reciprocating burglars, driverless cabs, moralless robots, reliabilityless Fords, and the Novembre open-wheel Pike's Peak hillclimber for sale. There's more car-guy stuff: emergency brakes versus parking brakes, and the mechanical peril posed by wheel and tire choices combined with pulling a parade float while undertalented. As for the spice, there's much to enjoy: Rammsetin, Black Nasa, Alabama Thunderpussy, Monster Magnet, Nation of Fear, QOTSA, Wo Fat, as well as cohosts of note Gerhart Klimeck and Dirty Dave. |
