New pressure washer.

Posted in Shop News on August 28th, 2008 by PeppstaR

So I was working late last night and my pressure washer takes a dump on me. The gun was giving out already, but now the unit itself is kicking out water everywhere. So I run out and grab new one from Home Depot for $100. Must be a sign for me to stop working late all the time…

New Pressure Washer

I like how the wheels look like Volk TE37s w/ negative offset and they’re hella flush ^_^

I guess I’m not invincible after all…

So I decided to do nothing at all today. Absolutely nothing.

The reason is that when I was working at Never Too Latte yesterday, around noon I was having a hard time breathing. I don’t have asthma or anything like that, but it felt as if someone was gripping my heart making is hard to breath. I wasn’t gasping for air nor did it feel like I was choking, I just felt like I had to take deeper breathes in order to get enough air. After I sent Carolyn home, I decided to close up the shop and lay down. I noticed that I was sweating pretty hard and that I wasn’t getting better, so I end up in the Emergency Room. After all the blood tests and the guy messing up my arm looking for veins, the doctor says that it’s more than likely the stress if anything and luckily I wasn’t having a heart attack. I have had been diagnosed with Hypertension a long time ago and it’s really getting worse even with the meds. Working 16-18 hours, 7 days seemed normal to me lately, but I guess it’s too much…

So I guess, I’m not invincible after all.

Gumball 3000 on 101

Posted in Events, Random stuff on August 14th, 2008 by PeppstaR

So we’re on our way to our friend Rico and Kirsten’s wedding on 101 south and we hear this roar. Flying past comes an Audi covered in decals. My first impression is, “he shouldn’t drive that fast with his car all covered in decals like that… he’s just asking for a ticket”. But then I read the back and it says “Gumball 3000″! Luckily we have cameras in the car (since we headed to a wedding) but we missed the first car we saw along with a few others that were too fast to snap pics.

All of the pics we able to take are posted up in the gallery.

Can’t forget about the Olympics today too!

Posted in Random stuff on August 8th, 2008 by PeppstaR

Well, today is the day… the eighth day of the eighth month on the eighth year of this century. I would like to wish the best of luck to all and best wishes to all the weddings that are going on today (and to Kirsten and Rico’s wedding tomorrow). And a little fun fact for all, my cousins Vince and Chad celebrate their birthday today. These brothers are born 08•08 and they are 8 years apart! Happy Birthday Cousins!
