As we are heading into the month of July and getting ready for round 4 Formula D Las Vegas, I realize that it has already been 1 year since I have joined the Formula Drift family.  There have been many new developments since last year.  I am excited to see the sport progressing with the new judging format.  With the runs getting more intense this lets us know that we are taking the sport in a good direction.  The battles are getting more exciting.  If you are joining me in Vegasjust remember to stay hydrated, carry an ice water soaked towel to wear around your neck, and if you think you are hot don’t forget about the drivers wearing multiple layer driving suits.

I’m glad to be done with my first semester of school, but I’m afraid this summer is gonna fly by.  Gearing up to finish some projects.  Cas’ car just got done being painted (Midnight Purple Nissan Skyline color) by my friend Rei Alzate and Geno Esparza from Garage JUS4KIX.   I enjoyed a great Memorial day weekend in Vegas.  Looking forward to coming back to Vegas in a few weeks to do some grassroots instruction in a few weeks at VD012.

Today I just took my last test of my first term/quarter at Long Beach City College. I am now 1/8th of the way to my goal of getting an A&P License/Certificate. Took me a long time to get to this decision of going back to school, but I am grateful that I have the GI Bill in place to take care of this. The economy in its current state is hard on everyone. I am very fortunate and can only thank the Lord for getting my wife and I through all these tough times. Still have a long ways to go.

Some friends came down from out of town and Cas and I went down to Anaheim for a day at Disney. We ended up getting a season pass. It was part of the new pay for a day then $20 a month payments for the rest of the year. The weather couldn’t have been better. Not too hot or too cold. We got around the park pretty efficiently (seems kinda small after going to Disney World for our honeymoon) We saw a few interesting things throughout the day.
Saturday was my nephew Landin’s birthday (he turned 4). I made a record 3 dishes of Peruvian Ceviche (an awesome dish made with fresh fish and shrimp cooked in lime juice) more on that later. I hope to make a little documentary video of how I make this stuff. Everybody loved the ceviche and it was gone pretty quick.

Ok so I once had a website getting started with a blog. It was kinda limited, but now thanks to a new friend who knows who he is I have a new one up and running. Now it will be easier to keep everyone updated on my latest adventures!!
