My baby was finally in need of some new rubber. I finally got together with Zack, my hookup at Americas tire and we were able to set something up. Just in time for the Malibu Canyon run. So she is now sitting on Kumho SPT 225 45/18s. A good tire for my needs. Here is my baby sitting on the rack.

Done.

We didn’t get a bingo but we had some fun. Jayna hanging out at the St. Pancratious festival.

I have developed this nasty habit over time of Caffeine dependency. I just cant live without it. Oh boy it has turned into a major part of my daily routine. Sodas, energy drinks, caffeinated soap, caffeinated mints, heck I even got a case of caffeinated water!!!!! Oh boy I am so over the edge on this one. So I have decided that at 1pm today, I am kicking the habit. No caffeine. That means no caffeinated sodas, no mor energy drinks, no more caffeinated mints, nothing. Just cold turkey. Uhgh!!!  I have added a count-up clock at the top of this page that will keep time for me. I am sure its going to be tough and I hope I dont stumble, but we shall see. Ok, 4 hours to go. lol. Wish me luck!!!!

This is leg 2 of our Malibu run. This is Rambla Pacifico to Piuma. Again me following Tony and this is the raw video. Uncut and unpolished

On saturday I got together with the MOCC Crew and had a good little meet and greet bar-b-q in Grffith Park in LA. We didnt check ahead of time and it turned out that the spot we chose was a no Bar-B-Q area but we had tons of other food to hold us over. Everyone pitched in and we had a great time. Also we had over 30 people show up throughout the day and at one point had all Mazdas parked right in front of our site. Also a bunch of people made a caravan from down in San Diego so that was a nice surprise. So check out the pics that I took, which were not many. As a matter of fact, Jayna too most of them.

I have been working on some video I shot from a day spent driving in the Malibu Canyons. We did about 200 miles round trip total and hit a bunch of roads. There were 4 of us total from the MOCC forums, Candy Blue, Zack and O.G.Sk8er as well as myself. I tried a different camera position this time and it seemed to work out better than last time. I am also working on getting a wireless bullet cam or 2 to get some other interesting shots. I will post each individual run on my videos section for my car, but for now, check out the highlight videos from that day.

This is part 1 of 2. I will have the 2nd part up whenever I decide to get around to editing it.

Tuesday night is our regular meet night for the Mazda group. Lately the group has been shrinking but we decided to get together since Diana was returning coma 5 week trip to Mexico.

We had a pretty good turn out with about 13 or so people meeting in Signal Hill. We decided that bowling was on the agenda and headed to Valley View lanes for $1 game night. Had a good time as always than headed to Denny’s for some late night grub. I’m sure there are pictures somewhere but I only took one.
