Random Day Off


Went to get an oil change, they noticed my coolant was a bit low and took filling it seriously (note max is near the middle).  Actually what annoyed me is they changed my oil and I guess started it to make sure there were no leaks then left it running for maybe 15 minutes as I waited in the waiting room to pay.  Why was it left idling?!
 
 Noticed this guy's racing slicks.  http://www.yelp.com/biz/city-tech-auto-repair-rosemead I don't complain too much because they are mostly fast and at $20 it's only slightly more expensive than going to the auto part's store to buy the oil and filter.

This thing kept me full for hours!  Don't mind the fuzzy looking leg... Just rip off that part of the skin and it's all good. Not too bad for about $5.

Mango Green Tea

I had to go here because all the Yelp reviews!  Nah, I wanted to go because I heard a cute girl works there  and after waiting for almost an hour for an oil change I may as well go for something different so it was a two for one deal kinda thing.
Based on Google street view I was worried about finding a place to park, fortunately there was a place to park in the structure it was attached to but it was only 30 minute parking.  The sign made a reference to some other parking area with 90 minute parking but that makes SO much sense to me. *nodds blankly*
I like the lighting and style it's cold and bright... I'm disappointed in my photos! 
Anyways the prices weren't too bad, I had prepared for the worse from my general browsing of Yelp pictures.  The four mochi buns were $5 and the drink was $4 something.  There were some interesting flavors, I bought red bean, mochi, nutella, and chocolate.  I like it, I tried half the red bean and a chocolate one.  
My mango green tea was good, different from Cha for Tea where I normally get mango black tea. Not sure what makes it different.  It definitely looks brighter and it's hard to compare green with black tea.  For some reason that straw really hated me, it kept dripping at me!


MAD STACKS!
This stack of CR2030 batteries were from my early adventures with DealExtreme.  So they are a few years old and sadly all dead.  The weird part is they all output a good voltage of 3.2v I had two that were completely dead so the remaining 8 produced 24 volts but it's useless voltage.  I put them in a Dreamcast VMU and none of them powered it up.  Another set of CR2032 I had powered it up and I was amused by it for a bit too long.
