I’ve been thinking about this and every trip, be it pleasure or business, has a moment that defines the trip. Karaoke in Nagoya, the unexpected hole in the wall barbeque place we were steered towards in Long Beach and so on. Nothing many others have not written about in the past. Tulsa (and I was only in Tulsa for 36 hours) brought up a number…
Wasatch Range
The weather as we flew into Salt Lake consisted of low cloud cover and lots of turbulence, even more than is usual coming into Salt Lake airport. However, as we were flying in the clouds parted just for moment and got this picture of the Wasatch Range just North of Salt Lake City.
Choices, choices…
In about my favorite grocery store and tough decisions to make. I went with the salmon in the end. It became a very tasty part of a miso-saki marinated salmon, damn it was good. I’ve brought a couple of Japanese cookbooks and am slowly picking and choosing my way through them. I’ve not tried roll-your-own sushi yet, maybe one day.
Beer, food and going topless!
One of those beautiful days that make the winter so much more bearable, not warm, but the sun was out and I did not have to work. I actually got to go topless in the Miata today, yes the heater in the car was tuned all the way up, but first time this year and that always feels good. Wonderful, just wonderful. I went for…
Coventry are number-1
I can struggle to dress myself well at times, the colour-coordination gene has passed me by, that’s just the way it is, however I can do something about this by having a little help from Stephanie, a personal shopper at Nordstrom. Football players don’t have the sane freedom, they wear what they are given and in 1978 Coventry gave their players what is probably the…
A little gardening first thing and…
… now I have so much more natural light into the front windows on what is a beautiful, but cold, morning. The tree out front had got a little carried away and I spent an hour cutting it back and just about trebled the amount of light coming through the front window. That’s the gardening done for now, it’s time to powerwash the drive way….
If you don’t like…
…the weather, just wait 20 minutes and something else will come along.
A quiet night in, just me and the internet
Sitting at home on a quiet evening there are many things I could be doing on the Internet, but one of the best places to spend an hour is on Porsche.com/usa and playing with the “car configurator” tool. Porsche is like BMW, the windscreen and three pedals is standard, everything else is an option (unless you want the carbon pedals that is). For example, a…
The perfect accompaniment to buying a Porsche
I finished my last packet of Marmite flavored cashews, my sis-in-law gave me some for Christmas (to go with the Marmite chocolate,not as good as the cashews) and I got another two packets when I was back a couple of weeks ago. An now they are all gone, they really were awesome. Thanks for the first packet my dear.
Spectacular
I was leaving the factory about 5 tonight after a long day. The sky was spectacular as the sun was disappearing behind the factory. The rain was just a few minutes away, and when it arrived it really came down. The days are getting longer, and I like that.
