This explains why we just got new credit cards

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Hannaford loose 4.2 Million credit cards. We stopped there on the way back from Killington to grab some beer. I think every credit card I have has been replaced with a new number in the last 2 years.

Skiing in Killington

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

I have been looking for a good way to share my GPS data from our last skiing trip. It turns out that Garmin has a website called motionbased.com that goes a good job. I had to gzip the Garmin Trainer export file before it would upload.

I tried a couple things with the GPS, on Saturday I would hit start at the top then stop at the bottom, on Sunday and Monday I would just hit lap at the top and the bottom. Hit lap means that you see the lifts as well as the skiing, interesting for checking with chairlifts are the fastest.

Exercise

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

After a couple months of trying to swim twice a week, cycling to work (well on days when it isn’t snowing or raining) and 3 days of skiing I have managed to loose 10 pounds, not the money kind but the weight kind.

Car boarder

This is very cool. I hate to think what they did to the suspension of the car going over those jumps.

I also need to post some of the photos from our recent ski trip to Killington VT. I was wearing a GPS tracker for most of it and my max speed for the weekend was 43.1 miles per hour.
