He played football, and had a lot of concussions. He seemed like a nice guy whom had a loose thought, and acted on it.
In the air he seemed odd. At times he wanted to land. Other times he wanted to just fly around. He did a barrel roll. He wanted to see the Orca who pushed it's dead baby around the bay. I was hoping for a good ending.
A guy I know said the tech is so good you let your guard down.
He said there are days on 101 around 4:30 when he puts his sunglasses on and closes his eyes. He knows he taking a calculated risk. He's in bumper to bumper traffic.
He also said their were times he let the car drive home, with one eye open because he was tired.
With tech that good, I can see where drivers let their guard down compared to a guy in a old truck with a clutch. A vehicle he knows inside and out. A vehicle that needs his constant attention because of the sketchy alignment done years ago. Plus--he just can't afford a fender bender, or worse an ever increasing frantic fine. Hell--the stress of the old car might keep him more alert? Kinda like being in the woods when you know it's your wits, or a bear might tear you apart?
I don't think there a mechanic out there who doesn't make doesn't accidentally break the integrity of those flimsy AC lines weekly. They are thin walled pipes, and connected with tiny green O-rings.
There are no standards on how many pieces of thin walled pipe a vechicle can use. It's usually a spiders nest of hoses.
You need to change you blower motor, or do anything that involves the dash, radiator, you are taking a calculated risk. Most mechanics might have a recovery system, but it's usually in the corner of the shop covered in dust.
It might help if the federal government standardized parts for the AC system?
I'm very careful, but the last time I changed my blower I borrowed a recovery system, but still made a mistake, and released all the gas. I was going to recharge it, but the generic evaporator core outlet to an ac line was 1" short. I had to go genetic because I couldn't find OEM.
And no don't make a mechanic's life harder with a bunch of regulations. They are already over regulated, and it's a hard job.
I've noticed not much difference in price in the small blocks (The blocks that fit in your hand. I'm to lazy to look up the weight.) are sometimes more expensive than grated, or sliced.
I'm pretty sure the companies know most of us do not want 5 lbs of cheese in our fridge, so they jack up the smaller blocks?
While I'm here, I try to buy my spices, including dehydrated onion, at Costco quantities. Most restaurants use the same, but get better pricing through Sysco type companies.
Some Costco's sell yeast blocks which last a long time refrigerated.
If you are lucky, you can find high gluten bread flour there too. It's much cheaper than the better bread flours (King Arthur, etc.) at the supermarket.
The one thing I disagree with is bottled lime/lemon juice. After it's opened once, it tastes nothing close to a fresh lemon/lime.
They needed workers. They hired Frank Loyd Wright to build huge buildings to house workers arriving mainly from the south.
The huge apartments went up very quickly.
There were few regulations. I imagine it was like the way China puts up huge projects.
After the war, a lot of the workforce moved on to greener pastures. America used to have a lot of good blue collar jobs.
The apartments are now used as Section 8 housing.
Jump ahead to today. The town of Sausalito didn't like looking at low income Anchor-Outs. They didn't mind when Paul Allen moored in then same spot for months though on his mega-yacht. The town basically hired some dig bat who was related to a town council member to spit out a study on the dangers these Anchor-outs are doing to the Ell grass in Richardson bay. The town used that "cooked" study to confiscate boats, and crush them. The low income people basically went from boat dwellers to living in tents in Dunphy Park. I'm sorry about my tone, but I don't like it when authorities abuse their power, especially when it comes to the low income.
