Last Saturday, my lady took me out to the Redondo Beach seafood eatery located on the pier. It was an all expenses paid outing to possibly the best seafood I have ever had to date. I’m no seafood connoisseur but one type of seafood that I do know is seabass and this place had thee best steamed seabass dosed in garlic butter sauce, no-contest, 5-star restaurants ain’t got nothing on this place. Debs used her ‘man hands’ to work her way into a crabbling, after she finished the poor sucker up she proceeded to scarf down these gargantic oysters that I could have sworn were still moving from the morning catch (sick), I on the other hand stuck with a safe bowl of clam chowder, fries, cocktail shrimp, and the awesome fish. We ate like royalty, had a great time, and went for our second round of fun at the cherry blossom festival in little tokyo. I’m a lucky dude, for sure…

Downtown Laguna Beach is thee scene that always hits the right spot for me. Not only is it home to my favorite eatery ever called La Serena Grill, it was also home to my two year stint as a bike shop mechanic during my 4 years at UCI. As far away Laguna is from Los Angeles, I try to make the trip out there as much as I can, most of the time I’m by myself but sometimes when I’m lucky my buds accompany me for the short sweet trip. The past weekend, I visited twice, mainly for the food but especially because of these darn good homemade butterscotch coconut cookies that my joint started to sell. I know this sounds like a dumb reason to commute for an hour and half but please do not pass judgement until you have tried the cookies for yourself…seriously. Anyways, gotta give a shout out to my peeps in the photo; Rich, Jong, John, Eric, Jimmy, and Kiyoung, thanks for letting me indulge in nostalgia overload, one of the sweetest weekends for sure. When we going again?

Want a pair of custom painted carbon fiber wheels by manufacture Carbon Sports? It can be yours for a shade under $5000. Carbon Sports started with a set of its 20-spoke Generation, which is then custom painted by a artist. The Generation Three wheels claims to boast 30 percent greater stiffness than the previous model via new all-carbon spokes. 20-spokes front and rear weighs a claimed 1090-grams pre-paint, the paint adds roughly 36 grams to the set. HAWT.
