Subaru! (part 2)

So I'm thinking that I will need a Flying WV sticker (Link). Also I think that I will need to get a little ibex sticker from backcountry.com. I just need to order something and they tend to send them with orders.

I also need a different sun shade. I have seen some that are basically 2 circles that you can fold down into a smaller size. I think those could work well.

Subaru!

I now own a Subaru Outback. It is a black 07 legacy outback. I actually have a car with power windows, locks, mirrors, and driver seat. I also have heated seats, which will be really nice during winter months. The daytime running lights are still a bit odd, but the headlights are really nice during the night. I enjoy having the AUX in, I can have my MP3 player and can run music and such off of that.

The back seat is nice, a bit small but its a back seat so it doesn't need to be that big. The seats fold down so I can have a bunch of stuff in the back if needed. there is some storage in the back with the spare tire, so I have room to put stuff back there like jumper cables, oil, first aid kit and the like.

Well, I have some pictures and will post them on the photo blog.

Vegas

So then, I'll have to post a longer entry when I get the chance, but for now some notes:

-Craps > roulette

-Craps >> slots

-What is Pai Gow Poker anyhow?

-Penn and Teller where awesome

-Lots of food

- the card flickers are annoying

- The volcano was cool

- it doesn't take much wind to cancel the pirates

- everywhere has a party pit

- its a hike to the Rio or the far end of the strip

Tada!

Hooray! I now have a new laptop featuring a functional keyboard. I can type words like keyboard, pizza, dunderhead and Zamboni with no issues and not having to use the on screen keyboard. I am still setting things up and getting them all installed and loaded. It is a 15 inch screen as opposed to my older one that is a 17 in, but it is bigger then's Stella's 13 in. It is much lighter too and it fits nicely in my new bag. And I didn't realize it had it, but there is a HDMI port on it. Sweetness! And I got the backlit keyboard. Tis awesome!!

Well, sadly the USA ladies lost the gold medal game, but lost to Canada, so I guess if you have to loss to someone they would be people to loss to. As of right now the US has 32 medals, so we are winning the Olympics. Also during the opening ceremony I realized I don't really have any Team USA gear. Looking around I really like the blue team USA hockey jersey. It is this one: http://www.vancouver2010.com/store/clothing/nike/nike-usa-olympic-replica-jersey/prod365229451.html I will work on getting it, at some point or another. It has hints of the 1980 Miracle on Ice jersey, which is really cool. OO, the other night we watched Miracle, Stella had never seen it.

Well, we must accept that the Olympics are coming to an end. This Sunday we will have the gold medal men's hockey game and the opening ceremony. However, feel not sports fans! The Iditarod starts in only 8 days! March 6! For more information look here:http://www.iditarod.com/ If you care, and you should, go ahead and post your pics. One for veteran and one for rookie. For veteran I'll go for Lance Mackey. For the past 3 years that I've been following pulling him as my vet. For my rookie I have to go with Newton Marshall. He is from Jamaica. (oo..and he is sponsored by Margaritaville) That is cool.

Also sometime in March we get the whole March Madness deal, so go 'Eers! Well I think things have copied onto the external so now I have to copy them to this computer. Eventually I'll want to get a case so I can pull the hard drive out of the old laptop and make it an external.

P90X

So I started on P90X last monday. I finished week 1, with today being my off day. It was a lot of work and I was sore most days from it, but hopefully its working. Part of the program is working on eating better as well. I didn't do so well this week, I ended up eating out a bit more than I should have, a friend was in town and we had a meeting that ran long on base and all. So I have to work on doing better on it this week. Also I am trying hard to get at least 7 hours of sleep. To get up at 5 to do P90X I am trying to go to sleep at 10. It is a bit tough some nights, but I have done a decent job of it this week.

Well...Yikes and Away...I'm off

Oh, if you haven't seen the photo blog in a while there are some pics up there.

Olympics

So this morning will be the men's 10km sprint in the biathlon. There are 2 Americans taking part and this is a medal event. In the sprint the athletes start and do 3 laps around a 3.3 km track. They stop 2 times to shoot 5 metal targets, once standing and once prone. Standing the tracks are the size of grapefruits an prone they are the size of golfballs. Missing a target results in taking another lap around the track.

Also on 16 Feb the US men's curling team takes on Germany in the 1st session. The women's team takes on Japan.

For ice hockey the US women take on China today and the men take on Switzerland on the 16. Both of these are preliminary games.

Finally...I like the 2010 USA hockey jersey. I prefer the away one more (the blue one) Only problem is they seem to be sold out everywhere.
