[diesel_mercedes] Corona Rhapsody!

 






Hi all music lovers,

In the never ending search for music to fill the quarantine hours, here's one I hope that you might all like, called Corona Rhapsody:

It's really hard to imagine that 2020 is the 45th anniversary of the release of Bohemian Rhapsody. It was a message song then, and I think that you'll agree that it serves well as a message vehicle now.

Note when I send out songs from artists with YouTube channels, there's often a lot of value in going to the artist's website or YouTube channel to see what else they have posted.

[diesel_mercedes] Social Distancing Via Auto

 


So ;

I drove up to my place and did some routine maintenance and yard works, by mid day it was 104* F, too dang hot to be screwing around in town so Demarkis and I loaded up in my coupe and hit the Angeles Crest Highway, there was very little traffic apart from some young asian kiddies in their rice rockets plodding along 10 MPH below the speed limit on the world class twity road, they refused to yeild, use th turn outs etc. ~ typical kids : they're afraid to drive quickly and don't want an old man in an old car to show them up .

In time I was able to scoot around them and then the fun was on ! .

I was able to go as fast as the tires would hold, interestingly Demarkis never grabbed the passenger assist handle, Tom never lets go of it....

I took a different route back down and again got stuck behind some young folks who refused to use the turnouts and actually blocked me from passing in the designated two lane passing zones ~ one guy in particular swerved using both lanes to block me .

At the bottom of the hill was some construction going on, the lane blocking guy waved a bored CHP officer over and said I'd been tailgating him and scaring him...

Typical cowardly bullshit from those who refuse t learn and are scared .

The car is running well, I stored it back at Tom's garage so I can concentrate on other things for a while .

Nate,

When you get that tool, please give us a little how too. I'd like to try it.

It was exciting, I drove my MB to work, 1st time in a month, as I've been working at home. I've done shorter trips in between, yet not much.

She was quite happy to get out and warm up.

Nothing else to report.

Thanks

Rob

AC used, Biobor added, 385 miles, 24MPG so not changing much up nor down .

I think (hope !) I just bought an A-B IP timing tool (electric light) so I hope to check and adjust the I.P. and little more accurately when it arrives .

I borrowed one and used ot ti set my Coupe's IP timing to 26 degrees, wow what an improvement .

Please all, continue being safe, I too am suffering cabin fever but when I go out I stay the hell away from everyone else .
