I haven't listened to that for years. Mostly due to how long the episodes are :)

While changing oil, I witnessed a race between a Mityvac and a thunderstorm. The former won, thank God. They seem fast sucking eight quarts of oil from an engine, until there's thunder rolling in the distance, blackening skies and a massive temperature drop.

More people know about Laurel and Hardy than two mimes with a short-lived 1970s variety show

Okay. I'd like to stop feeling like someone beat me with tomato stake. Any time now. I don't want to play flu any more. Moving like Shields and Yarnell isn't amusing.

Jesus. Could I possibly have chosen a less dated reference?

@kdfrawg I'd be one of those idiots today. Car's ECM is still figuring out the new coils and plugs. It sometimes thinks it is a rocket ship. Smoothing out though.

@kdfrawg I miss seeing that on occasion. Don't miss sharing the roads with people while it happens though.

Awaiting ex-co-worker's update from NYC on the snow storm. Going to be 60 f here today. I promise not to gloat.

An evening of self-medication (Bourbon meets raw throat) and a long Skype call with a good friend in Kansas.

I've had worse evenings/nights/early mornings.

They're like Caddies until you give them a little gas. Wonderful cars. Expensive as hell to maintain though. Had to put a new transmission in the company one. It was…not a trivial amount of money.

@kdfrawg I'm still on the lookout for a seven series. We used one as a company car for a while and it was wonderful. Perfect combo of luxury and rocket.
