The world is upside down.
Float a bar magnet on water and the North end of the magnet will point towards the North Pole. So the North Pole must be the South pole of the Earth’s magnetic field, because opposite poles attract, right? North is South, world is upside down.
Heard it in a love song, can’t be wrong.-
Wait long enough and it’ll be the other way again. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/2012-poleReversal.html

I don’t see many Marshall Tucker Band references
these daysever.
Here’s the only other song of theirs that comes to mind.

If I argue you can rock any instrument, lots of people counter with ‘a flute?’
Marshall Tucker Band AND Jethro Tull.
Give me a hard one.
A harp, on the other hand, is much more challenging.
Requires a substantial change in method.
You’re welcome.

Blood Ceremony, out of Toronto, ON and Queen Crescent, out of Oakland, CA have been bringing back the flute, along with some deliciously occult themed ’70s style Metal.

Thanks, I think.

This is not only of The Marshall Tucker Band’s greatest songs, I’ll argue it on the ‘GTXcellent All-Time greatest list’

Hey, as long as it’s not the Dead’s “Fire on the Mountain”, it’s gotta be at least OK. (Longstanding hatred for the Grateful Dead here.)

Marshall Tucker Band? Isn’t he the one who made us all ready for some football?
I really don’t listen to much country.-
You’re thinking of that [redacted expletive] Hank “Bocephus” Williams Jr.
Not sure I’d call MTB country – country rock, absolutely.

Update to the MT82 transmission saga:
Discovered the Blowfish bracket. It’s a frame that bolts the floppy, remote shifter unit to the transmission case. Heavy duty – looks like 1/4″ steel. Saw it on a live feed on Grassroots Mag. Found a used kit from CJ Pony on ebay, saved $50.
Waiting for shipment… in the meantime last weekend was another DE. I still have training wheels on this thing. I hoofed it for a few laps, maybe 6-7/10ths. managed a 1:32xxx. With a pair I could easily get the high 20’s.

My automotive news: I picked up a set of hubcaps for my International Harvester, solid dog dishes for the front and perforated for the rear, just like the set on this truck:
http://hooniverse.info/2012/12/13/truck-thursday-1970-international-pickup-truck/
This calls to mind a potential Encyclopedia Hoonatica question: factory wheel covers that differ from front to rear. I imagine they’re fairly common on 4WD vehicles that require access to the front hubs, but I can think of at least one other 2WD example.-
Some manufacturer at some point must have offered a dually with factory wheel simulators.

I… Huh. And now I know that these exist.
I’ll put them in the same category as hubcabs that try a little too hard to look like genuine wire wheels.

Congratulations to management at USPS for understanding the competitive pressures brought about by the Internet. Your analysts completely missed the meaning of “flame mail”, though.

Maybe if they weren’t in such a hurry, they wouldn’t regularly leave mail at my house for the guy who lives one block over, whose street number is only a few off from mine. “Close enough” seems to be their operating principle.

On the upside, they found Elvis.

Unbeknownst to them, of course.
