Back in the Saddle Again.

The Mazda has made it’s seasonal return into the mainstream car population.  Boy is that a fun car to drive.  Since the last time you saw it there have been some new modifications.  Seat belts were added back in, first time since 2005.  My hopes was to replace both rear calipers, I only got one changed out, snapped 1 of the 2 main bolts on the other one and left it at that for now.  At least my parking brake works somewhat now, parking rock is completely optional for most parking spots.  Fresh oil, wax, quick insurance and plate change and BAM, I now get 20 mpg instead of 30 in the GTP.  Loving every bit of it.

Second I have some FAILs to report. I happened to have a new 09 10 yellow book hanging at my door.

Just browsing this full size ad catches my eye. Wow, still paying for full color phone book ads, something tells me planning could use some new ideas.

And lastly, Ford is trying to turn there company around although I am not sure they can without breaking the unions completely. However the boys over at Google seem to like to tarnish their image, I don’t know why. Problem is they link rather random photos next to there news headlines and sometimes its rather embarrassing.

Thank you Daniel for pointing out where the Mountain Lion picture’s came from. No need to fear that is the Black Hills out in South Dakota. I wonder who the local jokers are that start the picture hijacking emails are. You can read about it over here.
