My wife had me suffer through an Ashley Judd movie called “Bug”… dont waste your time. Asley does some great acting, it is just a stupid plot.
Ashley Judd/ Harry Connicl Jr. lives in a trashy Oklahoma motel converted to studio apartment, huge mountains close by.
Filmed near Olancha Peak California 12,132 feet .

If you watch the movies there are mountains in SE Texas and all of Texas looks like Arizona. I don't like negative movies. Movies about people where you can't like any of the characters. Leaving Las Vegas and such.

I can’t say I saw all of Oklahoma , I worked two summers on a farm in Hunter, travelled twice as a commercial driver. Never needed a Jake brake, flat as a pancake… never seen it all though.

The eastern edge has some of the Ozarks in it. Yep, the east side is really pretty in spots and some steep roads. I want permission to shoot anyone using a Jake brake in front of my house. Usually about one every 2 days.

There's also the Wichita mountains on the SE side. Some mountains are go up to almost 5k feet. Doesn't sound like much until you consider they are starting from about 800ft above sea level. In AZ they start from 7k feet, so they would be comparable to an 11k foot mountain. If you skip over the border to Missouri and Arkansas, you can burn up any kind of brakes you have. These are older mountains, rounded off and easy.

Something has been happening with the Harleys over the past 4 years they have been getting away from the loud pipes. Trucks are just obnoxious though. Many are running exhaust with cutouts that they open in front of the house. Most are almost silent which makes the loud ones stand out more. A lot of private log haulers around here and they are the worst. Very old trucks, many without lights or exhaust.

I don’t understand the straight pipe Jake brake constantly engaged on the flatland up to and including 5 mph.
I do understand the Jake brake on a muffled truck descending steep grades.
The latter results in cool brakes, safer for everyone.
The former…. Well it is like the guy in the lifted 4X4 that drives like an idiot, the truck is his testosterone supplement.

There's a very slight, short grade in front of our house, but nothing that would require any loud brakes. Going north is uphill and it's really the pipe cutouts that are the biggest problem. We are just outside the city limits and as soon as some of them clear the sign they open the exhaust with homes on both sides of the highway.

I have nothing against engine compression brakes but they should not be used in villages and towns. Our highway has no grade to it, just a slow down for the crossroad. No reason to use Jake Brake other then someone is too lazy to downshift.

Under 3000ft for both Wichita and the Ouachitas ranges those are foothills and not mountains. Mountains have a treeline!

Watched "Go For Broke", 1951, again for the Upthtime. Love this story of the 442 Regimental Combat Team made up of Japanese Americans during WWII. Inspiring story of courage and tenacity. The cast included several Veterans of the Regiment who made good actors being natural. Great story. Growing up in San Francisco, I knew kids whose dads served in the 442. "more better, go for broke!"

Watching "This Island Earth", 1955. Love this one. The scenes at the beginning in the electronics lab with the Interocitor assembly is worth the whole movie. How I learned about condensers.

Just started casting it from YouTube to the TV. So far, my only impression is that they must have set up cooling for the theramin. 😁
