how to cool down a car without air conditioning

Fri 2024 Jul 5

I thought this was common knowledge, but I guess it isn't, so I'm stepping up to the plate to tell you how it's done.

Like many other people, I drive a car with four doors and power windows. But even if you don't have power windows, this can still be done.

Yes, I redesigned my site. Don't freak out about it.

This is the first redesign I've done in a while. A long while, actually. Years, in fact. I have regular readers, so yeah I had to write about this. When a site has a specific design that it carries for a long time and then changes, the regulars get alarmed by that.

a list of brown and khaki casio watches

Mon 2024 Jul 1

While it's really easy to find a black Casio (I wear a black W735H daily), there are brown and khaki color models that are definitely worth a look. In fact, I own one that I'll talk about in a moment.

An earth tone color watch is a feelgood thing, and said honestly, it fits most men's daily wear better. Lots of guys wear earth tones, be it with brown shoes, brown boots, maybe a brown hunter's cap, and so on. Earth tone also works with anything camouflage, like a hunter's jacket.

There's another perk to a brown or khaki Casio. It looks good both when new and when beat up. A black Casio looks like trash when beat up, but not the brown or khaki.

This is Dave's Ferd Exploder. How do I know? His name is on it. Dave announces himself wherever he goes because darn it, he's just that important.

Dave's truck smokes like an incinerator. You might think that's because the engine is on its last leg. No. Dave did that on purpose to keep people from tailgating him. Safety first.

tapes. i don't get it.

Tue 2024 Jun 25

The proper name for this specific audio technology is called the compact cassette. Amazingly, you can get new blanks easily (sometimes as new old stock) for all those mixdowns you're never going to make. More on that in a minute.

Nobody I knew back in the day used the term compact cassette. Everybody, including me, called them tapes. That term was so ubiquitous that when the Nintendo Entertainment System came out, we called the game cartridges that went into the system "Nintendo tapes" even though there was never any physical tape in the cartridge.
