I am finally not sick!

2 weeks after my vegas trip, I'm finally feeling great. No more coughing, though now my allergies has kicked in since we started having this really nice warm weather. I even went for a long hike / run out in the back trails behind my house. Went to work out on monday for the first time in two weeks, and I'm still sore all over from that.

2 weekends ago, I went to go get my car tuned. One of my old friends I've known for the past 5 years has now started ecu tuning evo's as a profession. I decided to head up to the shop GST and get my car tuned on the dyno, while asking him a million questions on how to tune the ecu. Net result is a gain of 30 hp and 30 lb/ft of torque for 260whp and 260lb/ft torque. That translate to somewhere around 310-320 hp to the flywheel (the numbers manufacturers quote on the brochures) I'm confident enough that I can start tuning my own car now, but still learning. In fact, that's my new hobby, learning everything I can about the stock ecu and ecu tuning. The car is wicked fast right now, and I'm enjoying it every day.


My ex-gf from taiwan (not the recent ex) decided she wanted to visit some friends in CA, and asked if she could stay in my spare bedroom. So she's scheduled her visit sometime next month, and it looks like she'll be visiting me for 2 weeks, with a week in between while she heads to LA to visit more friends. Oh, and she does read my blog.

Good lord, I bought about 5 boxes of girl scout cookies, and read the label. I just ate about 900 calories worth of cookies in one sitting. But it was really good! Looks like I need to start hitting the gym again. And since DST is now active, I can run outside after work again. It's been really nice outside lately, so it's good weather to start running. I also found out one of the guys I see in the gym at work actually works for my company. All this time I thought he worked for one of the other companies that share our building and gym. I think I've convinced him to work out together, so I think I've got a work out buddy.
