My white Elite 80 at the Parade and with Seans Red Elite 80.

Licensed

Saturday Morning I got my Motorcycle License.

Failed the U-Turn portion of the test due to misunderstanding the instructions but hey I passed everything else so the license is mine :D

To celebrate I must have put close to 100 miles on the scooter Saturday.

Scooter is Go!

Sunday the 7th of December with the assistance of my friend Sean I picked up a 1998 Honda Elite 80 from a gentleman in phoenix.

With the addition of some parts from a 1994 Honda Elite 80 I picked up two weeks prior and $50 or so in gaskets I now have a fully functional Scooter.

Today I went down to the MVD and took the written test for a motorcycle permit, I am now allowed to use my scooter when visibility is more than 500 feet between Sunrise and Sunset on any public highway.

I plan to get used to the bike and take the road test in the upcoming weeks.

Had a really awesome sandwich at eegees today, it was the hot italian. I cant remember when I last had a sandwich this good there.

its 10AM and I'm already thinking about lunch plans.

had Mongolian BBQ for lunch and is quite full and satisfied.

playing with ping.im for status updates.

Ripped Off.

Had my car broken into last night.

They took my camera and the 2GB card that was in it.

The loss of the photos hurts more than the loss of the camera.

I'm quite miffed.

It's Craptastic!

My bag of crap arrived from woot.

What did I get for my money? I'm glad you asked!

A 'ClipCam' which is a tiny USB camera

A Logitech Quickcam Express

A Curious George Gift Bag

A VHS Cassette 'Buns & Abs of Steel 2000'

Brakes

Front brakes are done on the Toyota with the help of a friend.

He did the drivers side and I watched, then I did the passenger side by myself.

Real simple compared to the brakes on the Volvo.

Need to find out where things are leaking out of the engine, I ran low on coolant today and there is still a possible oil leak.

Laundry

Went to a new place last night to do laundry, It was interesting in that all the machines had girls names.

The machines were not as high-tech as my usual place, The Dryers lacked any kind of indicator as to how much time they had for their cycle.

Clothes got clean which is what counts but I dont think I'll go back there unless its an emergency as the older washers didnt have a way to add softener to the cycle.

Seen on Postsecret

I liked this one. Might have to see about moving the Volvo.

Displacement

Boy can I feel the difference between the 2.3 liter rear wheel drive car I've been driving for most of the past year and the 1.6 liter front wheel drive car which I'm driving now.

QRZ Photo Upload

Does anyone know if the QRZ Photo Upload works for modifying a profile?

I'd like to add my picture.

Classic Volvo Interior.
