Introduction

Busypaws, My wife's company name.

Live in Tucson AZ. Work in San Jose. Engineer. Work in the defense industry.

Having fun on weekends in San Jose by Hypermilling a 97 Protege 1.5L. Concentrating on Lightweighting. Removed A/C and P/S. Just got 155/80/R13 on VX alloys. Started with 47mpg on highway and 36mpg on 5 mile commute on 35mph roads. We'll see what the VX/155 do next tank. Time to get a computer since it takes me 2.5 months between fillups.
