Oh the wisdom of John Tesh. I'm driving in my van last night, coming back from the thrift store where I purchased a lovely end table for $24.00, and He (John Tesh) tells me** that if I'm parking on a hill (which I do everyday), I should apply the foot brake, then the emergency, and THEN put it in park. I'd been doing the last two steps in reverse. Okay, not in reverse like I'm doing it while driving backwards. That would take talent. I'd been pushing the brake, putting it in park, and THEN putting the emergency brake on. John says if I do this there's just a pin holding my van. A PIN for gosh sakes! Who knew John Tesh was a mechanic? I guess the piano playing didn't pan out. I hope he keeps practicing piano though. He wasn't half bad.
**No, I'm not channeling John Tesh. He has a radio show. He's a piano playing radio show mechanic don't you know.

John is a major con. (vict)
John rides a Tawn-Tawn. (That thing Luke Skywalker is riding at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back)
John makes me yawn.
John, go mow the lawn.
John's brain is gone.
John reminds me of a male Goldie Hawn. (not really, but I had to think of an H word)
John once sang with Tony Orlando and Dawn.
John is a big fan of Tron.
John once shot a fawn.
John plays the steel drums, mon.
John annoys my spawn.
Carrot, please park safely from now ON (says John).
Wha? If John says it, it must be true.
That song has me craving cake. Help meeee...
John?
Oh my gosh...I am so gone!
I guess I can rest easy now knowing that John is watching out for us all! ;) Thanks for the tip, Carrot. I do it backwards too...
John Tesh never ceases to amaze me. I was shocked to learn that he has musical talent and now he knows the proper way to park a car. There's more to that man than a great head of hair.
Hmmm. So maybe those times when I forgot to release the emergency brake before I started driving, I didn't do that much damage--after all, it was just a pin. I feel so much better now.
Having the `96 Nissan Quest just roll away wouldn't be such a bad thing.
That's what I like about you Carrot you are always so willing to share good helpful tips you learn in the course of your daily life.
So I almost wrote something bordering on sacrilege, but I didn't.
At least John Tesh married well.
And apparently your car is in now in fine working order.
And you are in good spirits.
It's all good.
Who knew that there was a right way to apply the emergency brake. Thanks for being both entertaining and educational!
Your playing my song by the way, if I only had a brain!
I always find interesting stuff on the John Tesh show . . . thanks for sharing the tip!
Oh! And the chin-whisker I can't seem to pluck says hi . . . lol
I love John's dimple.
Well, John Tesh waited to do the deed with Connie Seleca until they were married. The man is a paragon of virtue.
I own the CD 'John Tesh:Live At Red Rock.' I'm serious. I can even provide photographic evidence.
You've got your flipper in my kajagoogoo :)
I have happened upon JT on occasion when driving home from work. I'm glad he had some words of practical wisdom because I had completely written him off as, well, if you can't say something nice....
john has his own radio show? and he has smart mechanic knowledge. this is news to me. and parking on a hill, i've always just made sure my tires were pointing toward the sidewalk and my e-brake was on. is he SURE about this. it seems like an odd order to put everything on.
but, i'm sure when i tell paul this, he will say "oh, yeah, of course, didn't you know that." like it's another man-secret that us women only by chance stumble upon.
Millie, Johns wish is my command.
Wendy, see my comment to Millie.
Kimberly, eat a can of baked beans.

Carronin, who knew?
Jennifer, yes, you can rest easy.
Annie, that is a sweet ride. Don't let it get away.
Sketchy, I am here to help.
Compulsive, it's nice to see self control at work. I need to be better at it.
Amanda, we can share that song.
Kate, I just discovered a new man whisker. :(
B., I have dimples. ;)
Elastic, let's see it.
Elizabeth, Ew.
Aubrey, Yes, he does apparently have a radio show. He was sure about this. Man secrets. Gotta love them.
(loved Millie's comment!) I've heard him on his radio show, too, with all his little random bits of knowledge. I must have missed his mechanical genius tips. Awww, I LOVED Flipper! You always have things that make me smile on your blog.
oh Carrot you make me laugh so dang hard, if only I had your humor *sigh..someday I will be as funny and whitty as my dear friend carrott. I also find john tesh very informative who knew! I don't remember his musical career as much as wasn't he on like access hollywood or ET or something?
