Remember when you could recite every word to "Freaks of the Industry" but couldn't recall what you went to the store for? That strange quirk of memory serves as just one fascinating tangent in our latest episode, where we explore how certain songs become permanently etched in our neural pathways despite decades of dormancy.

Between bites of fresh Baja seafood and navigating California's latest regulatory labyrinth, we dive into the realities of running a diesel mechanic business during transitional times. California's new emissions requirements for commercial trucks have created a perfect storm—mechanics scrambling for certification, fleet owners rushing to comply, and a testing process that requires multiple cold starts and sophisticated diagnostic equipment. While challenging, these changes have opened new revenue streams for those willing to invest in the necessary technology.

The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we reminisce about cross-border adventures, complete with mouthwatering seafood platters and two-for-one Palomas that remind us sometimes the best escapes are the closest ones. Through listener call-ins, we debate when artists should gracefully bow out versus continue creating, whether stroller parking at theme parks has gotten out of hand, and if the rumored Young Guns 3 can possibly capture the magic that made the originals resonate with Generation X.

As we navigate our busy schedules—night shifts, late workdays, and family commitments—we're reminded that this podcast serves as our excuse to reconnect regularly, to share stories, and to keep the conversation going, however sporadically. If you're enjoying the drift, drop us a message, share your thoughts, and join us next time as we continue our journey toward the elusive 200-episode milestone.
