Gyotawho? Gyotaku!

If you don't know what Gyotaku is, it's the art of rubbing fish. You have to be gentle with them cause fish only like to be rubbed in certain ways.

Manfrotto + Gorillapod = Gorillafrotto!

gorillafrotto.jpg.jpgI picked myself up a Gorillapod Focus, as well as a Manfrotto 488rc2 head, and connected them all together for my D70. It's fun to work with, you can get it all set up at various angles.

I need to play around with the gorilla pod more to see exactly where all I can put it, but the possibilities are pretty endless, at least from what I see.

My mind is always in them.

That's right! Gutters! And now the glorious homestead is quite nearly fully equipped with them. I decided to go with the plastic gutters because they seemed pretty durable and easy to piece together. Prior to the installation of these, I had one small 4 foot section of gutter above the front door. Now I have gutters that go around the entire house.

iPd and the boost gauge pod of annoyance

12804Over the years I've had plenty of good dealings with iPd, for various Volvo parts. That all changed when I decided to order the boost gauge pod for Roxanne. I was excited to have it in as I've been doing various performance updates, so having a boost gauge, to make sure everything is running all proper seemed like a good move.

I am the Irrigator!

So I decided to do the back yard up all proper and such. Running in ground irrigation is actually pretty cheap, and easy. I was pleasantly surprised. Granted I don't have the lines fully buried yet, but that will be taking place throughout the week, and once that's done. Sprinkle sprinkles of looove.

r0x4n3 +1

Time to get a baseline on her. Taking it to the shop wednesday to get in a couple dyno pulls. I'll post the results as soon as I have em. The stock rating is 247 horsepower and 243 torque. Now the dyno pull is in as well. I got pretty much exactly what I was figuring on. Even with a pull during 102 degree weather.

Totally Decked Out

12545Well, after how many months, progress if finally underway. Magical having a deck time commence! Just shy of 300 square feet. My deck is mighty.

It was definitely a bit of trial and error, and while it's not super perfect, I think it's pretty decent for my first go at deckery.
