Roadside skills class

[Nate Bezanson]

Repeat of an oldie-but-goodie: Winter is coming up, and now's a great time
to learn how to use jumper cables, fix a flat, change a spare, check your
oil, whatever.

This is intended for car noobs, though students of any skill level are
welcome! Happens next Wednesday, 7pm.

I've got to fill a chip in my windshield, I'll bring it in and do a demo!

Heh, once we get full auto in the shop,  I'll demo replacing a windshield... plus fixing many other broken parts as I have many broken parts.

[Nicholas Britsky]

Would it be worth it to show how to change an air filter?  I know it's easy but maybe people don't know how easy it is.

Absolutely! I've got a reusable K&N, and the (somewhat time-consuming)
washing process probably isn't relevant to most folks, but that's
definitely a worthy skill. How to read and interpret a dipstick would be
good too.

As soon as we get a few signups, I'll email the attendees and ask anyone
who can't remember changing their air filter (and who has more than 30,000
miles on it) to pick one up before the class and we'll swap it for all to
see.

Just dawned on me, I need to do a coolant flush and seal soon.  I have straight water currently in my radiator :\

[Nate Bezanson]

Coolant flushing is probably not relevant to a class intended for people
who've never changed a tire, but your experience in the simpler things
will be valuable if you want to help with the beginners' class. Let's
stick with "why not to open the radiator when the engine's hot" for now...

Don't forget a hands-on unit on lighting and placing road flares,
pocket strobes or warning triangles... And suggest a high viz vest be
part of your kit.

Ahh, I'll be doing that this fall too, my battery just turned 5 and that's
retirement age. Okay, I'm 0/2 for potential students, let's consider
rescheduling:

The WhenIsGood has spoken! Rescheduled for 10/23 at 5pm. All are welcome,
please register to make sure it doesn't get too crowded.

This is semi-tentative, assuming I'm in the country then. It's been hard
to nail down a work schedule, but I'll do my best to be here for this.

[Nate]

Bump. This is still taking place as scheduled. Hey, programming
coordinator, could you make it part of your duties to tickle people
about these things as they creep up? :) A blog post would've been good
and I totally forgot.
