Christmas

This is one of the gifts Heather gave me for Christmas.
Just a little flag so the neighbourhood knows where I am from. Because the car may not be enough.
Less punctures

These are my new Kevlar lined tyres. They are Origin Elimin-8er tyres. They are not going to ride as nice or as fas
t as the Pro Race 3 but they should resist punctures far better, which you need this time of year. I picked them up for $29.99 a tyre. Hoping to get my first ride on them today. Supposed to be 48F today.
East Canyon

Late November I took a couple of hours and went for a ride on one of my favorite drives. Emigration Canyon then over East Canyon and onto Morgan. It’s a great drive and the
scenery is beautiful. It was a little cold that day but that’s why the car has the roof. The drive is right on the edge of Salt Lake.
I timed it just right to capture the colours changing. Click on the image for more pictures.
Chef

To go along with my expert cooking skills I have now become a baker. I made roughly 4lbs of bread pudding this weekend. Tastes as good as it looks.
Panoramas

I found that Windows 7 has a great stitch program so I have been taking a bunch of pictures of the house. If you click here it will take you to my pbase page where the panoramas are. If you look at them in the original size they are very big pictures.
Help Yourself

I came home from work the other day and found that the dogs had been thirsty and had managed to get in the fridge. On their bed I found 2 bottles of beer, unopened but probably because they couldn’t find the opener. There was a steak in the fridge as well but they didn’t touch it. Just the beer. I must have left the door ajar as they have not been in there since. I should have taught them a lesson and made them drink a bottle each.
Wash and Wax
by Ian on Sep.05, 2011, under Words
Last Day of my vacation and I am basically moved in so I thought I would take some time and wash and wax the cars. The Mazda6 got it’s first decent wash in 2 years as well as the inside cleaned and hoovered. The MX-5 got a wash and a wax. Still looks good for a 12 years old car with a 9 year old paint job, and the car hasn’t been babied. It is driven hard and enjoyed. It has been autocrossed and out to the track, and it still looks great.
Now I just need to get it registered and take it out before summer is over.
