Packing up, a little shopping, and a department store tonkatsu sandwhich
Today is a little bit sad. It’s our last day in Japan, until we come back of course. Packed all our goodies and junk. After which I got us a late check out and then went on a trek to find a [...]

Kyoto, slow trains, Astro Boy, temples, bullet trains, and more
Today was Kyoto day. Everyone was up early and we asked a few differnt folks the fastest way to Kyoto. Well, with a combination our veyr bad Japanese and their slightly better Elnglish we ended up on the slooooowest train to Kyoto. 50 [...]

Hot Wheels Show, More Coop goodness, takoyaki, tons of neon
My sister and I stayed the night at the Hyatt where the Charity Dinner was the night before so we could be first in line at the show. We were indeed first in line. We were 3 hours early and we were not alone. [...]

Osaka Castle, Mos Burger, Coop!
Day was very productive! We started with a long walk to Osaka Castle. It twas cool. After getting lost on our way back towards our hotel a nice gentleman on a street corner set us back on the correct path. This path would send us to Mos [...]

Change is good
Change is especially good when it’s your clogged fuel filter that you neglected for too long. My 98 Honda Civic EX was stumbling and bumbling at idle and it had that check engine light. One of the fine folks (TeamNextGen/Chris) over at the Hybrid board (not that kind of hybrid) said [...]

Awesome set and a killer local bar
The first time I saw the VGS was at The Palace in Hollywood (now the Avalon). It was a sold out (or nearly sold out) show. I believe the OPENING bands were Sublime (Yes, that Sublime) and The Skankin’ Pickle (don’t know if that link is to [...]

Do I really need a new exhaust manifold?
Nah! This morning I went to the auto parts store for some oil, an oil filter, and an air filter. Nice easy stuff that leaves you feeling good when you’re done. Got that done nice and quick when my Dad mentioned an idea for fixing [...]
