Villari's Karate Combinations
It has been nearly 2 years since I trained in a dojo. The last time I exited a Villari’s Shaolin Kempo Karate dojo, I was a 2nd degree black belt with all of the material needed to test for my 3rd degree. There are no Villari’s in the Triangle and I have yet to find a dojo I would be willing to attend. Granted, I haven’t spent much effort looking. Life has been busy with getting married, buying a house, switching jobs, etc.

Water Storage Upgrade
Purchased two 300 gallon food grade water totes in an effort to make watering the farm a less costly, more eco-friendly endeavor. Like many other rain barrels, these were listed on craigslist. The main difference is that this guy told us exactly what was in them. The two on my property previously had chicken feed protein.

Pandora.com Game
I’ve had the thought of turning Pandora.com in to a game. The goal would be to start with a channel for one genre and convert it to a completely different genre. Example, start with Classical and then through a series of thumbs (up/down) end up with a techno song. The transition requires a bit of luck and a lot of musical knowledge to figure out the components of each song to direct the musical path.

Saved about $400 on brakes
The sentra needed new brakes and the mechanic I usually go to stated it needed new front rotors and brakes. The rotors couldn’t be resurfaced meaning a more costly repair. Instead of paying $400 for what I knew was price gouging, I had my family help replace the brakes. The rotors were fine and did not need to be replaced yet. They need to be checked again in about 10,000 miles. At my current rate of driving, that would be after I plan on buying a new car.

A very eco-friendly car
I found this image on fark. It’s definitely an interesting way of gaining a lawn in the city. I would love to see a video on this car getting mowed on youtube.
