“Walkies.”
The idea for this shot was an easy one. I walk someone named Grimlock between 2 and 4 miles a day. =) If only all ideas were this easy.
Sharka is Link’d!
June 19th, 2009 — Engine, The Sharka Rebuild
This news is woefully old. I’ve had the Link installed for almost 2 months and haven’t updated my blog! I feel ashamed. I’m hanging my head even now while typing this.
Prime 52 – week 1
June 19th, 2009 — Photos, Plastic52, Toys
The Hunted I decided to restart Plastic52 on flickr. That’s where you take a picture of the same toy every week for a whole year. I finished my first year of Optimus Prime pix a while ago and tried to do a 2nd year with the Decepticon Revoltechs. I couldn’t consistently come up with ideas […]
Cool kids wear stripes
May 7th, 2009 — DIY, Exterior, The Sharka Rebuild
I’ve been waiting for just the perfect weekend to put on Sharka 2’s new stripes. It’s been either too cold or too windy for over a month now. The sun finally came out and the wind slowed to a breeze and I went to work. This is the 4th time I’ve done a full …
2009 New Mexico International Auto Show
April 22nd, 2009 — Photos, Non-Miata Car Pix
The big, Motor Trend sponsored auto show came though town recently. My camera and a few buddies from work went with me for the opening on Friday afternoon. Though MANY manufacturers were missing, it was a good time. The event was lightly attended, yet the cars I wanted to shoot were very popular. I didn’t […]

Suspension Install! Sorta
April 8th, 2009 — Suspension, The Sharka Rebuild, Wrench Turning
Yes, I say “sorta.” Because I didn’t take many photos. Because I punched myself in the face with a crowbar. . . . . . So there I was, all done with the front suspension and the front chin spoiler install, when it was time to turn my attention to the rear. I had my […]
TEIN rebuild part 3
March 24th, 2009 — Suspension, The Sharka Rebuild
Here we are! The final part of the TEIN rebuild tale. Part 1 and part 2 can be seen on their respective links. The UPS tracking showed that I’d come home to find my TEINs waiting for me tonight. It was not wrong. There was a happy box on my doorstep with a familiar logo. […]
Mazda3 oil change torque specs
March 24th, 2009 — Mazda3
When I change Beep’s oil again, I’m sure I’m gonna want these. Drain plug torque: 22-30 ft/lbs filter housing torque: 22 ft/lbs 6mm filter drain: 7.6 ft/lbs Each one of these seems to be on a separate page, hidden on the intarwebs. NO LONGER! Now they’re all in one place. For me.
TEIN rebuild part 2
March 18th, 2009 — Suspension, The Sharka Rebuild
Remember part 1 of the rebuild? Click that link if you don’t. I received notification from TEIN today that my shock rebuild is finished! The total was $524 before shipping. That’s a good $15 cheaper than their low estimate and shipping with paypal was $1 more than their high estimate. I’m happy with that. And […]
