  • 59 MPG

    I’ve been tracking my mileage on my new toy and even though I’m still in the break-in period (first 600 miles, which I should surpass later today) I’m getting excellent gas mileage. My first tank was a measly 41 MPG, my second 58 MPG, and my third tank 59 MPG, that’s a healthy 52.99 MPG average.

    Now from what I’ve read and the people I’ve talked too, supposedly the mileage improves after the break-in period… which would be sweet, though I’m not really expecting it too.

    p.s. I filled up for $10.23 the other day, eat that world.

  • Like Clockwork

    Apple announced their excellent earnings for this last quarter yesterday, and of course the stock started a predictable downward slide.

    It happens every earnings call, Apple goes conservative on the next quarters guidance and Wall Street freaks. Hello! They do this every time! Big deal, everyone knows they’re going to blow away that guidance, so why freak out?

    Anyhow, this an excellent opportunity to pick up some discounted Apple shares.

    Scour arregates search results from Yahoo, MSN, and Google, so it’s actually useful as a search engine. Plus you can earn a little extra on the side.

  • The Definition of Beautiful

    Here’s the true definition of beautiful: Filling up and getting an entire tank of gas for $12.27

    But wait! There’s more… that $12.27 will get me 203.4 miles!

    If you haven’t figured it out by now, I just purchased a scooter, but not one of those pansy little Vespa’s or a Honda Metropolitan… No, this is a 400cc Yamaha Majesty.

    Yamaha Majesty

    Pretty sweet, huh? A lot of people were saying that the Majesty is a little weak in the get-up-and-go department, but for a starter bike I have no complaints. From a dead stop I caught up with two Harley’s going 55mph in just a few seconds, not bad at all.

    Anyhow, the lack of future updates either means I’m busy riding, or dead.
