New Car Shopping



My '93 Civic (184,000 miles) has finally made the decision to get a new car easy. The radiator let loose the other day and while in the shop, another 3-4 items were noticed that will need to be replaced in the next 6 months.

So I am giving serious thought to a new car. Maybe I will buy the original batmobile.

The real current leading candidate: Infiniti G35 sedan

Update: Maybe I will buy Kitt... it is currently on sale at Ebay.

Crosswind Landing Testing

I am still here. Things are going well, just haven't been in a "blogging" sort of mind. Dani pushed me last week (I think her nickname should be the "Pusher"), she was tired of viewing the bowling ball. BTW: I appreciate and am very thankful to the Pusher for the pushing. :)

I should have more Serena/Uncle Gushing pictures very soon. I received a CD of pictures from the folks. In the meantime, enjoy this video of Crosswind Landing Testing. The last couple of clips of the Boeing 777 landing in extreme crosswind are very impressive.

Bowling Equipment Bought

It is official, bowling ball and shoes have been purchased. First set of games with the new ball and shoes: 128, 164, 171. The last game included even an open tenth frame.

It took a few frames in the first game to get used to the ball. Never bowled with a finger tip ball, but after a slight position adjustment on the lane, I was throwing some explosive strikes.

Little Guest

I have had a guest at my house for the last week. She (Midget) has been great and never fails to bring a smile to my face.
