MotoGP At Laguna Seca ! ! !

Monday, July 24th, 2006

MotoGP Invades Laguna Seca!
After a good nights sleep at the temporary camping facility in Toro Park I woke up and prepared for the day. That didn’t involve much. Clean up, pack all my stuff back in the car, grab my backpack and chair, then head over about 25 feet to the shuttle [...]

The Road Trip Continues . . .

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

I am now up in Monterey, CA.
After about four and half hours or so of driving I made it Will Call to pick up my race ticket and camping pass. From there I hit Chili’s and had a burger since it was nearly 3 PM and I hadn’t eaten a bite all day. [...]

The Phenomenauts, Supernova, and The Aquabats

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

Now that’s a rockin’ show!
After the chicken pie, Lex and I made it to Clerks II. This was after I told her that if she wanted, she could sleep in the nice A/C filled theatre. That was enough to push her over the edge. In the end she was awake for the [...]

Chicken Pie ! ! !

Friday, July 21st, 2006

Oh yeah! I got me some chicken pie!

The San Diego Chicken Pie Shop is AWESOME. Sure it’s not the best food in the world, but it’s tastey comfort food. For $5.50 plus tax and tip you get a chicken/turkey pie, mashed potatoes, veggies (peas in this case), cole slaw, a roll (yummy roll), [...]

JAPAN – The Photos Post . . .

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Funny how there aren’t any photos in this post.
Well I warned you all that I wasn’t done blogging about Japan. I finally sorted through my photos and posted up what I think are the best of what we all took. In total the three of us took over 1500 photos. That’s a [...]

I See Chicken Pie In My Future . . .

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

. . . and a whole lot more!
This coming weekend is going to be a blast and a half. Taking Friday off and heading down to San Diego with Lex, Serge’s girlfriend who happens to have the day off, to see the Aquabats. If you have never seen them, you should, they are [...]

2 Hour Axle Replacement Turns In To 9 Hours . . .

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

Mind you, it was more like 4 hours of actual work.
Yesterday I got out to the garage around 11 am. The temperature was typical Southern California HOT. By noon it was 100 degrees F in the shade of the garage. Everything started out nice enough, got the fork off the bottom [...]

Failed Smog Check . . .

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

The reason was a new one to me, fucken CARB!
I failed my procrastinated smog check this morning for a stupid reason. The reason: “This vehicle failed the MIL/Check Engine Light Test due to failure to successfully complete all OBD self tests.” ARGH, this happened simply becasue I disconnected the battery the night [...]

Damn Good Turkey Burger . . .

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Hill Street Cafe
Today I had lunch at there and ordered the Turkey Burger.  I can honestly say that that is the best Turkey Burger I have ever had.  I liked the bun too, everything really was just right.  It seems like they make and season their turkey patties on site.  It had a very homemade [...]

Rose Bowl Fireworks . . .

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

I’m not one who likes traffic and over priced hot dogs
And that is exactly what you get to deal with if you go to the spectacular Rose Bowl Fireworks show. I had not seen fireworks on the 4th of July in years. Well, thanks to Antonio, Ann’s friend, I got to see the [...]

Summer Movies ! ! !

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

Seen it, haven’t seen it, don’t wanna see it, wanna see it
Here I sit on this glorious 4th of July pondering summer movies and not being intoxicated. What might have made be think of summer movies? Well my current state of intense boredom. While bored I started cruising the information superhighway for [...]
