Mustang Update

Brian — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:38:43 +0000

Doesn't that engine look nice?

As far as I can tell, here's what still needs to be done to the mustang to make it run again:

Drain and clean the gas tank and lines
Change the oil
Change the coolant
Install choke tubes
Install PCV tube

Doesn't sound too bad does it? I'm sure there will be a few hiccups. I actually spent some time working on the choke tubes this past weekend and was unsuccessful, so I'm sure that will continue to be a pain but with a little work that engine will be purring again in no time. I think.

Mount Whitney

My Mount Whitney Trip is quickly approaching. I leave tomorrow morning for a 4-day trek up the 14,496 foot mountain. Wish me luck and say a prayer.

Saturday afternoon Erin, Chris and I took a little hike in the hills above the Nature Center in Burbank.

My Focus

I love my car. I bought it in 2004 and have had many an adventure in it, as you can see from the pictures below. Today, the car is 100% mine. I finished paying off my loan this morning. Here’s to being debt free… at least car-wise.

The Focus carried our bicycles all the way to Sacramento and back. This is a picture taken at one of our stops along the way. Pay no attention to the poor parking job.

Here’s another picture from that same trip. We took the coastal route the entire way.

The Bike Ride to End All Bike Rides

Brian — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:19:00 +0000

A couple weeks ago, Chris, James, Scott and I went for the bike ride to end all bike rides. Well, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit. I spent most of the trail walking, but even still it was a great time with the guys. Here are a few random pics from that trip that have little to do with the actual ride.

Here’s Chris eating dead bugs. That thing is gross.

Once Chris tried it James had to as well. I skipped this nutritious meal.

Chris found this snake skin on the trail. I’m glad we didn’t run into the snake.

Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo!

Street View

This is my house on the left, as seen from Google Maps Street View. It’s a little scary that you can see so much.

Wait, who are those people standing out in the street? Get away from my house!

Santa Cruz Island

A couple weeks ago I attended a conference up in Oxnard, CA at the Embassy Suites Hotel Mandalay Beach Resort. During that conference I enjoyed a little side trip to one of the Channel Islands. It was awesome. Check out my pictures from Santa Cruz Island below.
