Satellite Radio Hell

Well where do we begin here. First off I've been a Howard fan since he was on WNBC. I was working at Gimbels which supplied the furniture for the show when he went to KRock. (Old WKTU w/Roscoe for you old people) I was standing on the receiving dock when they announced the birth of his daughter. I've also been an O&A fan since early 1999. And I can proudly say I was "WOW'd" on route 17 north in Lodi also in 1999. That was when you were supposed to make up your own WOW sign.

So what do you do when you like both. Yeah, I did. I have both XM and Sirius. Which brings my remote control count in the Greasebeast to three. I have less remotes in my house. I don't know why they ban cell phones when having three remote controls in your truck are so much more dangerous.

So what have we seen in the New York radio scene. Its been the best month ever. We watched David Lee Roth have to change his show format, and then a few weeks later get canned. Howard complained that his fans are cheap, meaning the ones that didn't go to satellite. Who by some strange move actually went listening to NPR. Howard has his film festival this week. O&A are moving to morning drive on FreeFM 6-9 tomorrow and continuing their satellite show 9-11 on XM.

I wish I had two heads and four ears so I could listen to all of this. This is great.

Fuel Hell has a slideshow

Where's the popcorn? ah, forget about the butter topping honey. I used to fuel the greasebeast. Sorry 'bout that..........

Caught that link over in the frybrid forums where I generally behave myself.

So dark the con of man.... (fuel hell)

Larry Kudlow announced oil today could hit $80.00 a barrel and nothing prevents it from going to $100.00.

Now from what I've seen over last year or so with the speculators is this. "Oil is going to hit $65.00 a barrel" and they sold at $62.00. Then months later they said "Oil is going to hit $70.00 a barrel and they sold at $68.00. Now oil is going to $80.00 so will they sell at $78.00??? $80.00 per barrel is around $4.00 a gallon and $100.00 comes out to around $5.00 a gallon gas. So lets say it floats around $83-85 per barrel for a few months. You readers are screwed. I am too. But at least I'm running on used vegetable oil and biodiesel.

SO I get fuel refunds and you don't. Not that I'm laughing at you but maybe you need to rethink what fuel you use. Oh, and whining about the government doesn't help. The Republicans and Democrats don't give a dang if fuel prices kill you off. You're just a citizen in their eyes and your middle class life is going out the window. The government bribes you with the high taxes that they grabbed from you and you thank them.

AT $4.00 a gallon most of the US population will have to change their driving habits. I won't. In fact I may be the only one driving more since nobody else will be on the road.

A new toy in hell....

I picked up a new digital camera today. Not to replace my prized Pentax SLR but more of "an addition too" purchase. The one thing digital cameras do poorly is take pictures of impromptu moving objects that are about 15 ft in front of you. By the time it sets itself up the shot is gone.

Now my Bob and I purchased my brother a Sony 4 megapixel a few years back back and it has served us well. Unless of course my brother and I were going in two different directions that weekend. Then I was back photographing hell with the Pentax, developing, scanning in, resizing and then posting.

Most of what I do can be handled by a decent digital camera. Especially since I'll be doing greasebeast engine shots and some on the road blogging.


The Sony DSC-N1


8.1 megapixel goodness
3" touchscreen LCD monitor
USB 2.0 compatibility
1 Gigabyte memory stick duo pro
30 fps movies

blah blah blah

Now I can digitally reproduce all of hell for you. Which is good since I'm going back to work soon and I'll be bringing hell to you as live as possible.

Life sucks then you die (part 1)

Life sucks then you die This is a developing story. A 21 year old girl was struck by a car in the vicinity of the Copacabana on the way to the NYC impound yard. They haven't mentioned the names yet pending family notification , but I'd be willing to say they are from NJ or Ct. I only mention this story as there is only one beef I have with the city of NY. They only tow cars from out of state.

Many moons ago a few friends and I closed the old Limelight and discovered that our car was stolen. Well, when we went to the police station we found out it was in impound. It was a gray area ticket (all NY cars were still parked there) we walked to the impound yard to get it out we found that all the people there getting cars out were from NJ and Ct. Well you definitely need to get your cars out. NY'rs may not. Oh and its cash only, no checks, no credit card and you will need a cab to find a cash machine. I think it was $182.00 to get it out. Its been around 12 years so figure its over $200.00 now. Its cheaper to pay $40.00 for parking then risk street parking in NYC.

In other local news a drunk driver in Kinnelon NJ struck two teeange girls that were out enjoying the first night of great weather this year. Video Story

Stimpy, you idiot....you can't even do that right. (Suicide Hell)

A 33 year old Portland Oregon man went to a hospital complaining of a severe headache. THE NEXT DAY, yes the next day the doctors xrayed him and discovered 12 nails in his head. I think he has set the record for the highest amount of intentionally inserted foriegn objects into one's skull

Earth Day

Today I am celebrating Earth Day my fixing my grandmother's car (1979 Caprice) in the rain. The greasebeast is down for a another week or so. I also need to go see Sal at Autosport up 17north in Saddle River about getting some MPG friendly parts for the g/f's 4 banger Neon.

How on Earth can a 2004 car that fits in the bed in truck get almost the same MPG? ARGH!
