Leno gets burned

A couple of the people I follow on Instagram are at the same Sunday car meet up in Malibu regularly, Jay’s always in some sort of button up shirt, some look more dressy but the chambray shirt is his usual look. Shows up in something interesting.

Here is some old File Photos of Jay. The one on the left is from 1993 soon after he took over from Johnny Carson on the Tonight’s Show. He is wearing a tie, but I think it’s still a denim shirt (a Dress Denim Shirt???)… And the one on the right is from 2004, five years before he left the show…

Jay’s been seen out and about in a couple of his cars, still has healing to do but from the video’s posted by a fan he’s his usual light hearted self.

Comedian Tim Allen (Home Improvement) is one of Jay’s buddies apparently. News reports said TA visited Jay in hospital , later told the press Jay was looking pretty good, thought about it for a second, then said 'well, remember Jay’s face wasn’t that good before the fire! ’ … lol …

I watched an interview last night with Leno. He said a gas line on his White steam car was plugged up. He had a coworker blow out the line with compressed air while he was still under the car. Gas landed on his face and chest. About that time the pilot light lit and so did he.

do you know which pilot light? Was it for the water heater inside the shop, or is there a pilot light on the car? Whenever I work on something that might result in fuel spill, I do that outdoors in the daytime, bright sunshine, so away from all pilot lights and no need to use shoplights or flashlights. Only worry is somebody walking buy throws a cigarette my direction.

He didn’t identify which one, although it seems likely it was the pilot light for the car.

Had it been the pilot light for a water heater the whole garage would have gone up.

1 single cable with no markings is mean. 4’ off ground would really wreck your day. Recall the counselor movie? Damn depressing movie.

I think the owner of that lot should be in trouble for putting that cable up without proper warning. Leno said theater was no warning that the cable was there. He’s also lucky that the cable wasn’t higher. It could have struck him in the neck, and that might have killed him.

Its been a bad few months for Jay… but he still has his sense of humor.
Quite a guy.

Around here people put up barriers to prevent th snow mobilers from cutting across their yards. Usually though they are careful to flag them or just use that ugly orange snow fence. Just a wire can be dangerous.

A buds brother died after hitting an unmarked chain for a park entrance road while on his snowmobile. Glad Leno survived. Caught him in the neck and broke his spine if I recall correctly.

Riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough what with the car-drivers not seeing you. I have to routinely dodge motorists while riding my bicycle on city streets, nearly a daily event. My self-preservation method is to just assume the motorist doesn’t see me. Add to that the risk of someone putting up a cable crossing the path, very bad news. JL isn’t averse to taking on some risk though. There’s a internet-vdo of him riding on the outside of an airplane, in-flight.

He went into parking lot since he thought cycle had issue and was looking down. Not like he was tooling down a public road.

After the fire I’m sure Leno’s wife said: “Honey, be careful!” Now she’s saying: “WTF”!

True enough, sometimes I think I am actually less safe when I take steps to be extra safe. JL is in the best position to make the compromises. In my case, my eyesight , coordination, and balance functions all have tended to decline as I age toward full-geezer status…
