I don’t know about you but I love shopping. I don’t even have to be going places to purchase anything, some times just the fun of wandering around a store finding new items, gadgets, and toys is a great way to spend an evening.

People don’t often think about what their oil can do for their gas mileage. The two are seemingly unrelated, and if they are mentioned they are mentioned in an off hand manor that doesn’t add up to much, just fine tuning your mileage. I have data that says differently though. This graph is a graph of the last couple of months the gas mileage I have been getting in my 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Being that it is an automatic getting 10mpg over what the EPA rating is said to be is pretty good. But I’ve been wanting to push that number over 40mpg for a while now, I started to give up after three hard attempts at better mileage and one base line run (the first two were attempts at over 40mpg the third red bar is a base line using A/C, and driving hard, the next was yet another attempt at over 40mpg) the next runs I did were just me driving normally, nothing impressive and slowly going down hill on the graph. That is until the last bar with 39.61mpg even with normal driving (no attempt at great gas mileage, A/C usage, hard cornering and launching the car much faster than the three 38mpg runs) was shortly after an oil change. Because of an oil leak I’ve been forced to run thicker oil in my car (10W-40) and even added a thickening agent to the oil to stop the leak. This slowed the oil leak to a point that I only would lose two quarts of oil between oil changes (I’d replenish one quart and then by the time I was ready to change the oil again it would have lost another). needless to say it’s a pretty bad oil leak, and I didn’t have the money to fix said oil leak as it requires that I pull the head and rebuild it. I can’t afford even a day of down time so I must purchase a new head, and get it ready so I can do a quick swap. That’s beside the point right now though. I replaced a few of the seals around the head that I could get to without pulling it, and the oil pan seal in hopes of stopping the leak. At the same time I decided to run better oil, and definitely wanted to change the filter after watching some youtube videos on the construction of oil various oil filters I decided to go with K&N oil filters as they are the same price as the Fram filters I have been running with but unlike Fram they actually use quality materials not a paper filter, and crappy under sized drain back valve like the Fram does. I figure between the synthetic filter media in the K&N filter and now running 5W-20 synthetic oil the gas mileage has just increased that much since the motor doesn’t have to work as hard to move the oil around, or force it through a restrictive filter.

I remember when I first started selling my jewelry online. long nights of promoting my business on forums, social media, link building, and catching up on the latest SEO and SEM trends so that I could just keep up with the wave. Then my days would be filled with cutting, welding, casting, and making jewelry to be shipped out and then emailing and keeping up with customers. I was making less than $5 an hour and really didn’t feel that I could even hire someone to do the marketing for me. Needless to say as a one man operation it didn’t take long before I grew exhausted and burned out of the whole trend entirely. I had almost given up on the whole selling on the internet idea until I found

If you know me you know that I’ve got my computer pretty pimped out. Being that I run an online business from home, game, and store my families precious moments on my home computer over the years it has evolved into more of a workstation computer than anything else. I run RAID 5 for speed and protection, have a very fast quad core CPU, and 8 gigs of RAM. But all of that is for nothing if I lose the years of work and information stored on my hard drives. For a long time I thought that RAID 5 was pretty impenetrable and for my uses it was… but then age started to kick in and I lost my first hard drive, shortly followed by problems with the RAID controllers cables to the drives… I nearly lost 10 years of information in moments. After that I started to use an

So I’ve been trying everything I know in order to get our car to get the best gas mileage possible. I just can’t seem to break 40mpg right now though. Of course I’m hoping to see that change here in the near future. I’ve been working on designing a new chassis and body for our 1999 Toyota Corolla. First it’s an automatic which is just sucking away power so I plan to do a conversion over to a manual transmission, which should help gain a couple more MPG from the car and push it past the 40 mark that has been so elusive. Then the extreme modifications come in. Currently the car weighs in at 3,515lbs without anyone in it, and isn’t the most aerodynamic car ever built. However I am working on a plan to reduce the weight of the car to about 2,500lbs for a nice 1k pound weight loss plan, and decrease the coefficient of drag for the vehicle drastically.

A tubular steel frame allows me to create a very strong, yet light weight frame that won’t flex under load.

A new fiberglass body allows me to make the vehicle aerodynamic yet strong.

Now the last thing I’ve been looking for that has been so elusive is

So after a 12 hour shift at work my wife started a load of laundry asking if I would be up to move it over to the dryer for her. Sure no problem!! Uh… except that I fell asleep and left the clothes… wet… in the washer… for 3 days… now they are moldy and stinkin’ up the place. Good thing FTD has flower delivery services!! I’m going to be in deep water when I get home, so the plan is to get rush service on some FTD flowers sent to the house to be there before the wife arrives! Just don’t tell her that I used an

I’m not big on using ring tones for my phone… Last time I did I ended up missing 90% of the calls that came to me. I’d hear music start playing and be like “Oh yeah I like this song!!” then I’d start jamming out a little bit and by the time I realized it was a call coming in it had already gone to voice mail. So needless to say it’s safer and easier for me to just stick with standard ringers with the phone, but my wife loves ring tones. She’s on this big Katy Perry kick right now on the radio… but she hasn’t got any
