Defined “What is a CarGuy” in a column years ago, never understood why they get kind’ve a bad rap. Read it on Autonet.

 

 

Sun Protective Clothing for Driving

Got so burnt in early June – in a coupe too – that I realized I can no longer drive without special protective UV clothing.  So I investigated.

Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating – 15 is good, but 50+ is what you want. And turns out China is really into this idea of protective-driving-clothing.

Read it online at Autonet.

Favourite line:

Use the search term “summer driving clothing” and click on results from DHGate or AliExpress, two of China’s largest online retailers. Below are “arm mittens.”

I’m going to order the above hat, gloves and shawl, really.

(update: I now own the hat)

That’s Reno Week #2 Complete

I know this photo looks practically identical from a week and a half ago, but it’s opposite.

It was another 3-trade day but now the trim is done, windows framed, washer and fireplace serviced, painting started and I’ll update this with pictures soon.

The paper does not care about my renovations, so today was Deadline Day as usual, but I’ve got in a work-trailer rhythm because next weeks column is one of my best in a bit – “Try to Define what Makes a Luxury Vehicle.”

Just woke up so hot on my couch in the trailer, it’s covered in garbage bags. Going to find a shower and use it (my closet is in mine,) then a cold beer and I’ll cheers you sorry again for the light posting week.

Have a good weekend!

Spent a beer outside looking in… wow they came out sharp, worst is over, there are now two holes in my house… I own the world’s cutest house…

Painting has started!
Love the smell, the scent of progress.

This renovation blog take-over will soon be done and it’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming.

After a bunch more stuff happens. Next week’s holiday isn’t helping.

Another 1.5 weeks till complete, but back in my bed in days.

Dining on an F150.

Closet. Office.

Can’t believe I’m typing this guys but… getting sort’ve sick of jogging pants.
