Bicycle Parking

Parking at Catalina Coffee Company near my place in Redondo Beach.

Convertible Side Effect

I'm getting a heck of a farmers tan....

Front row at the comedy show

As you all probably realize, you WILL be picked on! So the one guy was talking about his family and kids, how old they were and he was, etc. I'm sitting RIGHT in front of him and he asks how old I am. "Thirty" I say. "Well, you look like you're twelve". Yup, I'm asian!

And I was with my friend Carly, who's just a friend. The headliner ragged on us pretty hard... I was fine but she had a bunch of co-workers there, so she was really embarrassed!

Breaking in the S2k

I took it to the track of course! Figured it'd be a good way to get to know it. Only spun once!

When to make coffee

Well... some people at work are not as courteous as others, and don’t make coffee allowing both pots to become empty. This becomes very irritating when the next person comes up wanting some coffee, and there is none. So anyways… someone make a process map and posted it next to the coffee machine.

Saving the environment a little bit at a time

So I hit up the Honda dealer to get an oil filter for the car (I always use OEM filters). Usually, it comes in a box (like my Nissan and Mitsubishi), but the Honda just came plastic wrapped; the other filters come plastic wrapped in the cardboard box. The instructions are printed on the oil filter. Made in the USA too! So anyways, saving a little of the environment by not having a box and saving a little bit of costs (for Honda at least).

Entrepreneurs

I had to go to this drag race in the middle of no where in Michigan last weekend. There's basically one road in and out of the dragstrip. As you can probably guess, there's a lot of beer drinking going on. Well, in Michigan, you get 10 cents for every can/recycleable that you return to the store; you basically pay 10 cents up front for it and you get it back when you return it. Incentive to recycle.

So one family made a target to hit with their beer cans. I saw a truck full of 4 drunk guys try to hit it, but were unsuccessful.

Slippery tire

You have to be careful on new tires, especially on motorcycles, as they can be a bit slippery. It's a bit hard to see in the pic, but the edge of the tire is still a little bit 'shiney' because I haven't worn down that far yet. So you have to gently scrub them in. If you try to go out and romp on it immediately, well, lets just say I have a friend that laid down his bike just blocks from the tire shop.
