the story was:
- me sick
- me getting better
- me taking pictures of local salon
- me getting fever again
- me going to bed
The good thing is I still shoot on average 1000-2000 pictures a month and keep getting better, but need to learn to be more creative...
currently I'm living in California with my darling wife and so I'd like to share our life with our trusty readers.
the story was:
what a wonderful Sunday,
getting up early after a long night with friends in the local bar and riding the bikes out to Sacramento.
Basically, Ashley, Kimberly and I decided to grab the roadbikes and ride the 14 miles to sacramento, drop them off at Ashley's house and visit a local exhibition (Buddha, German art, Californian landscapes) and having some quick mexican food afterward.
Finally we went back to davis and my crank set got loose again, which I needed to tighten up several times afterward. I should replace it rather quickly. We also lost Kimberly during the ride (it turned out she was collecting flowers...) getting some frozen youghurt while waiting for her (she passed by and ignored us...) and now making some crepes with applesauce.
The rest of the day, well I need to catch up on some work, watching a movie and preparing my self for yet another dentist visit in the morning. Maybe it's less than 500$ this time.
I'm also looking at yet another lens purchase (18-200mm VR) which would be needed on the possible roadtrip in a week. Since I do not want to carry the 17-55 F/2.8 and 70-200 F/2.8 and 10-20mm sigma around. But than do I want to spend 700$ just to avoid to carry 7lbs around? I think I rather spend this on another vacation trip.
how to make fancy style pan cakes...
Ingredients:
2 cups of flower
2 eggs
2 cups of MILK, you know the white stuff
Mix it together, drop it in a medium hot pan and spread it out with a spatula, if the pan cake breaks, add a bit more milk and try again.
Flambe:
2 x shots Barccadi 151
2 x shots Cointreau
nutmeg, cinnamon to taste
1 large can of pears in medium or heavy syrup
Snowshoeing in tahoe, well it's more difficult than it looks and hiking boots are defiantly the wrong shoes.
now I'm stuck at home with only wet boots and my dry shoes are in the office. Solution? Going to the office with bike shoes and picking up the spare shoes + spending the rest of the day reading at mishka's.
But I'm glad that the D200+17-55 F/2.8 are both weather sealed, they defiantly got there fair share of snow
(clumsy me)
Well tonight I decided to drive to sac quick, on my road bike, in the hope to get back in shape.
Lessons learned:
- I'm out of shape, an average speed of 28km/h is nothing to brag about
- do not ride in the dark if you are night blind, it got dark after I was half to sac
- harbor blvd in sac is a scary place at night in spandex...
- I really want to do this more often
- I am going to buy aero bars, since the causeway was just a straight line for 10 miles
- Santana is not the best music to ride too
- take a camera with you next time, there were so gorgeous reflections in the wildlife area
Short once you hit the causeway it's really fun
And tomorrow we go snowshoeing and taking pictures in Tahoe!
ok introduction of my algorithm to get rid of my ant problem:
//get available ants
List
///keep running till there are no more ant's to be found
while(ants.size() > 0){
//iterate over the current available ants
for(Ant a : ants){
//we kill the current ant till it's truly dead
while(a.isDead() == false){
//actuall kill method
a.kill();
}
}
//get more ant's
ants = getAnts();
}
Ok I provided the algorithm and software solution, now somebody needs to find a hardware solution for this...
