More upgrade!

Just a quick note, as I'm exhausted today...


Finally put the suspension on "GoGo" and now she sits just right, I'm looking forward to driving her next week!

I also got to have a Kobe Burger at the Wooden Nickel yesterday. They rarely have them so I had to get one. If you're in the area, or visiting, I highly recommend the place in general, but especially the Kobe burger!

Upgrade!

Finally, after 70 days of long, arduous and sometimes stressful waiting, they have arrived!!

Thankfully they came in without a scratch despite their journey half way across the globe. I also managed to get a new radio and some gauges in while I was at it.

Next step is some suspension! Then she will be done for a bit as I save up for the turbo!

Toadies!!

Hell yea!


Apparently, they are back on tour! I've got tickets for the November show in Richmond! Very exciting stuff here. The last time I saw them was 5/21/2001 in NYC. They're minus Lisa but otherwise intact.

I can guarantee one thing, it's going to be a hell of a show! If anyone else wants to go, tickets are CHEAP!

Back (on task)

-Got back from the insane travel schedule last week, zombied through work and slept until 9:30am on Saturday. This might not sound like an accomplishment, but for me anything past 7:00am is worthy of note! I managed to get a dog run put up for sadie this weekend, cut the grass and put up a new light fixture too.

The next big item on my list is to get the Gymkhana setup for Greenville at the end of September. We've pretty much got it figured out but there are a few details to iron out. It should be pretty interesting and intense. We hope to drum up a lot of interest for this type of thing in North Carolina, so time will tell...

To the left is a sample of the course lay out!

Travel of death!

Tonight marks the start of a crazy 7 day period, and I'd prefer to take a nap at this point.

Let's hope the booze is covered for that trip...

from the grey market of Thailand....

To U.S. for my Japanese car...

Today I received a new toy to match my red and black personal steering wheel in the Miata. I bought it from a gentleman in Thailand strangely enough, and while its probably not a licensed Mazda product, the retro emblem, glitter and the fact that it was $15 instead of $60 like the personal ones, made up my mind.

So, without further adieu...

DIY Pies

First blog post will be an email I sent to some folks yesterday...More to follow


So...as you all may or may not know, i love me some baked goods, especially crappy ones that are uber processed. I am also from eastern PA, nothing is more eastern PA or processed than tasty kakes.

http://www.philebrity.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/tkpp.jpg

I was jonesing some tasty kake pies in the worst way (i don't even think y'all have them in CT)
so I did the next best thing, actually better, and made some.

All with hormone free milk/organic sugar/natural shortening blah blah..scratch homey!

Here is the break down:
The first more browned ones are apple pie

The tiny white one (ran out of egg glaze) is chocolate pudding (Scratch made)

two of the chocolate glazed on tops are caramalized banana filling inside
the other two are vanilla custard.



Let me just say they are probably the best things ive ever made/eaten.

So, since NC is lax on food preparation laws I've filed for a permit to sell these at the local co-op farmers market as they are produced locally and organic i can sell them:) Not really a money making scheme but something fun to do and an excuse to hang out with the smelly crunchy people and listen to some music on saturday mornings.
