Greetings!

 

Winter is in full swing.  As I write this newsletter the sales team is uncovering our vehicles from a blanket of snow!  

 

If you are having trouble getting around in the snow, it may be time to upgrade.  We have a great selection of vehicles that can get you where you need to go - and remember we are always open online at www.cassillmotors.com!

 

Sincerely,

Expert Hour with Jay Cassill

From the desk of Jay Cassill:

 

I want to thank everyone who has called in on the expert hour on WMT radio and asked questions!

 

I have enjoyed the couple of shows we've done so far and am looking forward to even more coming up.  I think the reason I've enjoyed it so much is I get to talk about cars and trucks, something that if you know me, is a conversation I always have loved to do.  

 

I guess it comes from my up-bringing and getting to work beside my brother and parents.  I have a passion to fix things!  I still love to explore my abilities on new horizons in the mechanical world.  You can often find me working on Harleys in my shop at night. (And even an occasional curling iron when my wife breaks hers.)  So tune in to WMT at 9:00 on the days I'm on and I'd love to talk cars with you!

Tune in to WMT for "Expert Hour" with Jay Cassill on January 20th!

Jay's Tech Tip # 8

  On my last expert hour show I had a caller ask... 

 

What is the proper warm up time for a vehicle? 

 (Wow that's a loaded question) 

 

warming up the carIn my opinion I would let my gas powered vehicle warm up a minimum of  4-5 minutes in the winter months in Iowa.  I would also like to see you let it warm up 2-3 minutes in the summer. Let that oil have some time to warm up so it can lubricate all the internal moving parts.

 

 

  

Plug in your Diesel

 

 

 

Now for you diesel owners:  You need to let that baby warm up 5-10 minutes in the winter, remember it takes a lot of compression to make that diesel fuel burn!  Also, don't forget to plug it in at night because it is easier on your engine!

 

 

 

 

  

...And as Chuck from Newhall reminded us: On our rear wheel drive vehicles remember to take it easy when you first get moving -  to let the differential oil warm up and coat everything well.

Mexican-Style Pasta Bake
IngredientsMexican Style Pasta
12 ounces  dried bow tie pasta (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup  chopped onion
1/2 cup  chopped red sweet pepper
3 tablespoons  butter
1/3 cup  all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon  salt
1 teaspoon  dried cilantro, crushed
1/2 teaspoon  ground cumin
3 cups  milk
6 ounces  colby cheese, cubed
1-1/2 cups  shredded Monterey Jack cheese (6 oz.)
1 cup  bottled salsa
2/3 cup  halved pitted green and/or ripe olives
  Chili powder


 

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Butter six 12- to 16-ounce individual casserole dishes (or one 3-quart baking dish); set aside. In a 4-quart Dutch oven cook pasta according to package directions. Drain; return to pan. In a large saucepan cook onion and sweet pepper in butter over medium heat about 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in flour, salt, cilantro, and cumin. Add milk all at once. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low. Stir in colby cheese and 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese; stir until cheese is melted. Pour over drained pasta; stir to combine.
 
2. Layer half of the pasta mixture, all of the salsa, and the remaining pasta mixture in the prepared casseroles. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese and olives. Sprinkle lightly with chili powder. Bake, uncovered, 15 to 20 minutes or until bubbly around edges and heated through. (If using large casserole, bake in a 400 degree F oven about 20 minutes.) Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.
