How To Get Wrinkles Out Of A Mac

Beer Tasting - December 2010

And again it is beer tasting time. :-)
The December selection is from the brewery from Lasser Lörrach on the German-fränzösich-Swiss border.
With winter well Bock beer is time (in the November-sample was already one there), a type of beer may not be missing this month. This time with the Lasser Urbock , which is also equal to the beer of the month. Furthermore
contains the current sample is the Urtrunk (another strong beer), Premium Pils , Export and Lasser dark. In general I am
actually not such a Bock beer-boyfriend, the high alcohol content of 6-7% by volume but is often geschmackprägent quite rare in my eyes to advantage. Nevertheless, there are also quite tasty stouts. Because let (r), I am surprised it a try. ;-) Unfortunately
must the December sample manage entirely without white beer because Lasser has none at all in the program.

replaced, and the high proportion of Bock beer, perhaps in the cold season, the grog in the cocoa.

Shaving Makes Me Have An Outbreak

custom bike

As always in recent years by the beginning of December in Bad Salzuflen the custom bike .
I was, however, have never been there, although it is with me to the corner.
It is probably easy to focus on this show. As the name suggests, everything is extremely heavy chopper. Here and there a couple of Street Fighter, otherwise mostly that which pleases the most Frans carriers.
to Facebook, I learned from one of my "Friends," the artist of motorcycle-tourer.com , that you can win tickets here. I just sometimes advertised and promptly won two tickets. The overdue visit to this fair was nothing in the way of. :-)

This first slide show and the way to Photo Album :



Since Jessica had no real interest, I could offer my card Ronnie, who was also happy there. I put my card is available, but he was driving ... good deal.
A friend of Ronnie and one of my colleagues were also there, the car was already full.
Next: The show was essentially like that again what I expected from her. However, it was also bigger than I thought of. And Triumph had a booth on the addition to the expected Cruiser models - interesting for us - the new Tiger 800 and also the new Speedy see were!
The little tiger is really a really fine parts become, also still at a very attractive price! Ronnie has apparently leaked blood and planning as well-something. It sounded great but then when he would next year be unfaithful to his Duke ....

Otherwise, there were many containing "motorcycles" to see who were actually intended to be driven hard. Hold more exhibits. Sometimes nice to see but every year I do not doubt.
stay but I still prefer the Dortmund Fair in March, but then that's clearly something for me.
Now and then there were finely dressed "normal" machine, a delicious CB 1000R is because I still forget literally. So we had a very nice day.

any case, now I have finally visited the custom bike ....

What Can You Do With Top Erasers

Moppednavi - Reloaded

Finally I TomTom Go520T on bike. Did it anyway :-)
all took a little longer time than originally planned. Yes I use now for years been my little TomTom One (V2) for my motorcycle tours. The small part was all I needed so (otherwise I gave it to him yet "taught") and gave me a long time really faithful service done. Right next to one of the first test runs I drove by my old friend Tommy . I had the TomTom be more or less loosely in the map pocket of my tank bag. Thus, the view of the display was of course everything else than ideal.
Tommy saw it and immediately offered to tinker a mounting plate for this map case in which the piece can be good during the trip and stumbles are not always around. He took the measure and a few days later I got a lovingly crafted PVC plate, which has since started the small navigation in countless wonderful trips.
I bastet a power supply into the card slot for even the last remaining border problem (battery life) to solve.

Sometime before around 2 years (?) I shot the TomTom Go520T good and the course should also at some point with a motorcycle tour. However, the Go larger and therefore does not fit into the small bowl of One . At some point there should be a new model and that was .... until recently.

decisive factor then was the desire to navigation messages can also listen to me in the helmet. The small
One Although Bluetooth has to get on board, but only for a cell phone to connect to data services (traffic reports, weather, etc.). A Bluetooth headset can not connect. Even a good old cable connection is possible (without retrofitting the device), since the One only an internal speaker, but has no line-out. Naja is halt the entry level. ;-)

I heard myself also something that spoke to some people, I looked at models and then bought with matching helmet headset and a Bluetooth headset to it. Both individually, of course, there are too clunky earphones with built-in BT to the helmet.
so there was extra flat helmet headset and, as a BT receiver on Jabra BT3030 . Both were parts of it at the most favorable eBay directly from China. That takes time like 3-4 weeks, but you spärt it all properly!
Since the padding of my Marushin RS1 is removed, I could hide the stuff more or less good. On the back of each speaker is double-sided tape so that they were also beginning to freeze quite well at the appropriate places.
Finally, I just had the volume control integrated in the supply line removed because of the one was just unnecessarily clumsy and hard to hide in the helmet and on the other. Thus the right long cable also equal to a suitable length being trimmed. The sufficient soldering experience I had gained during my study-time jobs. ;-)



The "dry test" and also a trial run a few days later went so far as successful. The placement of the helmet but now requires some practice, because the space for the ears no longer are so great. If the helmet is in place but only once so far everything is OK: It's convenient and not suppressed.
Since I had still no cradle for Go had initially sometimes my phone to take the test as Naviteil. The announcements were heard loud and clear, that is just fine so far. However, rubbing / pulling the ears but setting up and Taking off the helmet always something on the speakers that they remain with the times but not so right there, where they are sitting. Although all that remains in the frame, but something ought to be optimization nor necessary. I wanted to draw a thin cloth over the speakers and run this behind the cushions and fix it. I had to get hold of course for now.
was therefore in the meantime the Navischale for my Go . The required PVC plate I had for ages in the cellar lie, otherwise I needed eigentich only a sharp knife (cutter) and a hot glue gun. I took the template (the old model of One what had been so wonderful), took the measure and put let's go.
The whole thing lasted no more than an hour and the new shell was finished, tailored for the Go and my SmartPhone .


was hardly the stuff ready, the weather was not really suitable for touring, but anyway.
Finally came a lack of cover. As we once again went to the local IKEA, I found a fairly thin, transparent material, leaving me about a 30cm wide strip cut from the roll (around 0.80 €). At the helm, I replaced the pads and put these strips from side to side, cut off roughly, fastened the material as desired and fixed it by the snaps of the helmet padding. After that cut clean on all levels and already was the final step done.
Still it is somewhat tricky to dress, but at least sit the little speaker now somewhat protected in the helmet. A colleague has a similar headset inwischen ordered, which he attached to the side of the Kinnriehmens. I could do with my headset also, I might even publish those complex constructions accordingly. Do I even watch the daily detail. In any case, is still an alternative and implemented quickly.

In the future, I look at the way in any case can whisper in your ear. :-)

Because Of You Wedding Program

busy ....!

Outside it is snowing and the world lies under a thick blanket of frost - the perfect time to make the next holiday at the seaside course! :-)

By Levi's birth in March there was for me this year not a motorcycle vacation. The first stop is all new child and therefore one can not simply as one parent only selfish sometimes just go on vacation.
War also brought OK, the little man (and still brings) enough improvements in your own life.
But as was clear to me that it should go next year again on 2 wheels on the road.
It was clear even in the course of this year that I neither Daniel nor Uwe (like the year before, according Corsica ) can take a vacation, so I had to look again.
Shortly before the meeting Hornet (the only multi-day "tour" in 2010) I learned from Wolfi and Csibi to me in Witzenhausen a bit more detail because Corsica wanted to interview. The two have been driving together for years on vacation, the last years always France. Now they wanted to see something else. Since both are
course super nice guys and also patents, developed the idea in my head, perhaps with the two to travel together!
bothered Since there are almost no idea that I was just last year already Corsica. The island is just the hammer for motorcyclists.
other hand, I have indeed long Sardinia on my "to-do" list when it comes to a Moppedurlaub.
Other travelogues by swarm the island in the skies, I myself was in 1994 with my girlfriend for 4 weeks there with a backpack on the way and am still thrilled. The meeting came

and we persuaded the matter and finally (a few weeks later) I had been able to convince both of my idea! It would therefore be in the next spring after Sardinia. :-)
The two prefer to stay in the "real" beds, so I'll give up my good times on this tour tent, which I was so often a small home. Are indeed worse. In addition, we will probably not drive solid base, but look for every day a new goal. If we like it somewhere, but we remain happy one more day. In short, if we are only there once, there's nothing planned. So we will finally decide on the destination of the day take the first place.
Maybe we still stuck at the one or two key points, let's see.

In the autumn of this year was Wolfi the time window for a holiday ( Csibi and I are there quite flexible), and we were able to substantiate the design.
should arrive via zunächt trailers ( Wolfi has one) to Csibi in Kraichgau go, then we'll go in 2 day trips to the ferry. So, in principle, similar as in the Tour of Corsica.

mentioned intermediate term I'm in the tour of course with friends, Ronnie was excited and wanted to enter you. Since Ronnie then the friendliest person in the world quite well and also with his KTM Duke 640 mm knows how to respond, there was nothing. Fourthly, it is also somewhat "rounder" than to third. Wolfi & Csibi had no objections and so the matter was resolved.

was most on various sites and travel reports, the recommended shipping company Moby , good and cheap early bird rates anböten. Later, another could be quite effective, but we wanted to book early so as not quite stupid to stand there later, because there are not enough places or do not fit the dates and / or places.
In November, it was then running the new dates for 2011 for Moby, it will go from Genoa Olbia to . So early in the season the ships every 2 days, exactly on the date originally conceived driving course, no ferry. So we moved the window a day after the front, no problem. ;-)
We then something had to Ronnie wait, the more the "Go" took from his girlfriend, but finally there was also the side of the green light.

Am 30.11. Finally, we booked all the crossings. First there was still a little confused, who for now charged with a cab. On ferries, it is probably generally so common that you book only whole rooms and no beds (such as a rule in the cars). Since I have the little ones at home and yes it can be a little more time, I did not have the car as possible in my name. Csibi goes before or in the ski trip, also because you can sometimes even break a leg. It would be stupid stop right in just the one fails, which has booked the cabin. In effect, the
has now taken over Ronnie. Now we have
all our tickets in my pocket and it will take soooo forever until it finally starts. I (and others too) have already such a fixed and can not wait.
Well, the next time still leaves enough space for a variety of planning day trips and accommodations, travel itinerary etc.

And I can not wait I have on the page even extra places a counter!

7 Weeks Hiv Test How Conclusive

New stuff for Levi ...

It's still not Christmas ....!
First, a totally unplanned acquisition. The fact we have not done so directly itself, but won: A Quinny Zapp Xtra!
By Jessica Facebook has learned that Quinny "Web-savvy" testers for their new buggy model studied. The requirement for this was that you stop the merry mitmischte Web 2.0, so you have as a page on Facebook, maybe twitters and has its own blog. Like once before everything! So she has applied to the Quinnycasters and was promt as one is chosen by 25 folks. Thus, we now have
a new buggy in the barn that we test extensively in the coming months and report on course to be. For further details and updates to it are of course in her blog ....
Since this test proceeds according to public, there is also a regular stop for photos and movies Theme, in this example, the story of his delivery and installation, of course, along with Levi!


addition to this unplanned new addition we have also made a planned acquisition. ;-)
slow Sunday and soon the Levi that is too big for his baby seat (Maxi Cosi ), in addition he can also sit better every day alone. Therefore stood on a successor: the first proper car seat. As usual, looked and compared prices and read reviews explored. First Jessica wanted to arrange a seat from Maxi Cosi including a by ISOFIX base. This "base" has been in the baby seat so proven really wonderful -> without ever again!
case of child seats I see something else that takes one does not ever get out of the car. In addition, there are the seats and various models that only work on such a station, that can not be secured by seat belt. Thus, one would have, if you want to convert to use the seat in another car, always the whole base station. Other models have integrated ISOFIX bracket in the seat, although these are often leaden. Moreover, the models of Maxi Cosi (which we have seen) also consistently smaller than, say, seats of Roman . There we quickly jumped the model King Plus eye. This provides more space (Levi is now not just to the small, delicate children) and has also been cut off in all test quite well, often as a winner. This model is conventional with the 3-point seat belt fastened, this does not happen around like so many other things, to model the whole seat, but only at its rear wall.
is this the whole seat can be folded forward and the belt is fastened there relatively flat to the rear seat. After the belt is strapped folded back to the whole office and the attachment is virtually almost disappeared, so it can no longer interfere with the coming setting of the child. Since the Gurtwege not as long and wide "in the room" go, the seat position is also quite solid, really almost comparable to the models with Isofix fittings.
we have bought the seat once again on BabyOne in Gütersloh. This store has convinced us last and more by price and above all, advice. Even if the advice this time was not so great (some a little spongy, but OK), the sales ring knew all the devices to operate smoothly and properly, and of course we could also play the good times in your own car test block.
As for Romans seats also just announced a discount offer, we beat her. Thus, we were in the end only 10 € on the cheapest internet price which the advice and try his own hand but also loose, again. :-)

Now we are first again with the "infrastructure" by ...
