Subject: MOTA: Good Night Radio all Friday night on KNYO and KAKX.

Soft deadline to email your writing for tonight's (Friday night's) MOTA 
show is six or eight. If that's too soon, send it any time after that 
and I'll read it next Friday.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio is every Friday, 9pm to approximately 
5am PST on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KNYO.org. The first three 
hours of the show, meaning till midnight, are simulcast on KAKX 89.3fm 
Mendocino.

Plus you can always go to https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com and hear 
last week's MOTA show. By Saturday night I'll put up the recording of 
tonight's show. You'll find plenty of other educational amusements there 
to educate and amuse yourself with until showtime, or any time, such as:

How we get recapped truck tires. Through the 1980s I used to get 
recapped passenger car tires from Coast Tire, back when they were in one 
of the warehouses behind Rossi's Building Materials, for $60 for a set 
of all four tires. That was the price out the door counting balancing, 
mounting, disposal of the old tires, everything. Black and shiny and 
fresh, they looked and smelled great, and they lasted a couple of years, 
then you'd take another $60 in and get four more. I never had a rim leak 
or a blowout or a wobble. I drove on a nail or a screw or two, but you'd 
get a puncture kit that had a screwdriver handle on like a giant sewing 
machine needle, a few inches of heavy rubber yarn, and a tube of liquid 
rubber. You pulled the nail out with pliers, threaded the yarn through 
the needle, saturated it with liquid rubber, pushed it all the way in 
through the hole and pulled it part-way out, let it dry for half an 
hour, cut off the excess yarn, pump it up with a bicycle pump and drive 
away, done. Those were the days. Gee, our old LaSalle ran great.

Further back than that, it cost pocket change to pay a bridge toll, so 
you'd get the quarter, or whatever, ready in your hand and risk your arm 
flinging money into the basket as you drove through. This genius idea 
let you go through faster and safer by /shooting the money from a spring 
gun/. I kind of half-remember that my grandfather had one of these, but 
that can't be right, because there were no toll roads in Southern 
California. Maybe he got it in Ohio. Maybe I'm mistaken and it was a 
grease gun.

And the line where the snow starts. This is peaceful and sweet. Good dad.
