Motivation

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

I just love looking at some of the cool shit that has come out of MillenWorks. It’s one hellofa way to keep a guy motivated.

Below is just a sample…

Pikes Peak Tacoma

Toyota Retrocruiser

Jeep Hurricane

One more thing…

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

So a friend is here visiting, and so this morning, for the first time, I went surfing, if you could call it that. The waves were bad, and I’m fat and uncoordinated, so I didn’t get up, but it was a lot of fun, and incredibly tiring. No pictures though, sorry. Besides, I was wearing a wet suit, and no one wants to see that.

Sonic BOOM!!

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

Sitting at my desk just after lunch on Friday, I heard this loud, almost crashing noise. I, along with everyone else looked up and around wondering what happened. A loud crashing sound isn’t all that rare of a noise, considering there is a huge shop downstairs, but it was somewhat concerning, and louder/more of a rumble then usual. Turns out the space shuttle was landing out at Edwards, and the noise was the sonic boom it made as it was flying overhead. Crazy stuff.

One thing that I have noticed out here, besides space shuttles, is the number of ungodly expensive cars driving around. On my way home from work on Friday, I saw a Lotus, 2 Ferraris and a Lamborghini. This is not a long drive mind you. It only takes me 15min, and goes through Irvine. Irvine is not the mecca of wealth around here (from what I can tell, its fairly middle class). Craziness…and now, some car lovin :)

Lotus

And ps, this may or may not have been posted because of a request for 1) more posts and 2) add pictures. I hope your happy.
