New Silverado

2010-04-26T21:28:00.000-04:00

So to replace the tundra we got this one in in April 2010 - it was between a New or Used Tundra, a New Ridgeline, or this Silverado - in the end the deal went to chevy because of all the promotions going on - $4750 off from gm, $1000 off for Toyota Disloyalty, $2000 off for being a credit-union member, Norse-Rebate and some normal old haggling... hoh

cars - old news

Heavy Work

2009-11-05T23:01:00.000-05:00

You need a tractor to do some of these heavy duty jobs on the property...

Todds Wedding

2009-11-05T22:55:00.000-05:00

Then we went to Todd and Kellys wedding - that was fun and Matt Dorsey came as well, we had lots of fun - although not as much as the weekend before judging by hangovers anyway. :)

Gordo married

2009-09-29T00:12:00.000-04:00

Gordo did marry Sarah the other day - it was pretty cool

back home

2009-09-28T21:48:00.000-04:00

A few days later we went golfing

and another couple

2009-09-28T21:40:00.000-04:00

after a while we got thirsty, and visited Fatheads brewery - the best one out of the three I have to say

and a couple more

2009-09-28T21:34:00.001-04:00

at Great Lakes Brewing this time

had a couple beers

2009-09-28T21:23:00.000-04:00

It was so nice at this Ohio State park outside cleveland, with a pretty good view to the nuclear powerplant

Wide Angle

2009-07-10T01:32:00.000-04:00

Cat Crapper Ventialtion

2009-06-21T17:56:00.000-04:00

Yep, we installed a new cat crapper ventilation system - after we started using the new stuff with plastic pebbles and whatever and what not the smells became airborne a lot easier than with the regular sand...

Freya Moves in

2009-05-30T01:41:00.000-04:00

We got a puppy now - a Norwegian Moose Dog (Elkhound as they say here), Elghund, Aeljebikje, etc, this is this is the first picture of her pee'ing in our yard. She pee's like a girl, obveiously. Check out pics and stuff at http://www.stokkeland.net/freya/

4wd

2009-01-28T00:04:00.000-05:00

Really can't live without 4 wheel drive where we live now, as you can see - the 2005 Tundra and the 2008 Highlander is doing good though :)

Partially renewed kitchen

2008-02-23T19:20:00.000-05:00

In Oct/Nov 2007 we got a new stove/range, so I did some partial renovation and stuff with fake tiles

Toronto

2008-02-23T19:10:00.000-05:00

The RFP Team (3 of 5) went to Toronto for a product demo - afterwards we met up at a pub downtown, as you can see from the pictures everybody was refelcting seriously on what we just learned.

Filip Visits

2008-02-23T18:59:00.000-05:00

These posts are a bit mixed up, filip visited in dec/january, then we went on a trip - then we bought the new car after filip went home.. anyway... just some pictures.

We went to a Bills Game - against the Giants, weather was crappy and the Bills lost..

Teds hot dogs tasted great

Due to Filip's serious eating habits, Pinky had a new best friend.

Got a new Car January 2008

Hot Dogs and Pizza in Chicago

Opry Mills in Nashville

Made the new steps

2007-06-16T00:49:00.000-04:00

The old steps

2007-06-16T00:46:00.000-04:00

The old steps started falling apart, so I tore them out...

Going Home

2007-05-29T23:33:00.000-04:00

The Boise airport is just as big if not bigger than buffalo, but still most of the planes are small and medium sized, or "Regional Jet" as they say, weird..

These where bad pictures as usual, but it was kind of cool to see that Windows XP sucked at a simple task like running an information and ad board in the terminal, it kept rebooting every 30 seconds or so, nice of you to be so helpful Bill and Steve, you should start manufacturing some cars that restart themselves and sell them as soon as 75% of the nuts are tightned.
Perhaps its related to how the Microsft wimps bailed out of the tech cummit sessions when they where getting too many critical questions about Vista licensing and deployment option. Why does Microsoft force me to have a machine running windows server only to run a "Key Server" to keep validating something I already paid for???? Its nucking futs you idiots.. kind of nice for the other side of the desktop, it will probably make many more be willing to switch to a usable operating system instead.

BBQ - Sort of

2007-05-29T23:24:00.000-04:00

I have never been to a BBQ where you sit inside on tables like this, there is a dress code, and no grills or grill smells.. Chicken and Ribs available, very good stuff..

Bathrooms upscale on this side of the valley as well

2007-05-29T23:23:00.000-04:00

Those are the stalls..

Amazing place

2007-05-29T23:22:00.000-04:00

Except for the good quality of these images it really was an exceptionally cool place architecturally - and upscale for a place where people walk in with ski boots.

BBQ Place

2007-05-29T23:20:00.000-04:00

This is in a Ski place across the valley from the Inn and the Lodge, same people working here though so it seems one company owns a lot of the stuff here..

Bus Ride to bbq

2007-05-29T23:18:00.000-04:00

Nice and clear pictures

Golfing

2007-05-29T23:04:00.000-04:00

Then we played Golf for half a day, neither me or Chad had been on the course before, just a few strokes on a driving range - there was no warming up here, we played a scramble and ended up at 73 - it was a lot of fun, the balls went everywhere we lost a crapload of them.

Geeks Dancing

2007-05-29T23:02:00.000-04:00

Then some of use went out, some event went nuts on the dance floor - we didnt find those with the buck skin though.

Dinner at the lodge

2007-05-29T23:00:00.000-04:00

Couple of minutes of walking is the lodge, we had a very nice 4 hour sitdown dinner there.

Upscale

2007-05-29T22:58:00.000-04:00

This is the bathroom on the seminar area, note that the doors to the stalls look the same as the door out (furthest away from the camera).

Its a Nice and Upscale Place - staff where from all over the world.

Nearing the Valley

2007-05-29T22:48:00.000-04:00

Some hills and greener landscapes appeared closer to the valley, it was quite a relief at that point, after 2.5 hours on a bus at 4PM hadnt eaten much since 9AM and had nothing to drink or munch on... We'll blame MPC for that part :)

Where's the Mayors office?

2007-05-29T22:42:00.000-04:00

If you have ever been to one of the later Howie Mandel shows you probably know what I mean when I say that after 30 minutes this landscape started feeling like the opening music to that show... for like 2.5 hours (on the way to Sun Valley)

2007-05-29T22:40:00.000-04:00

Not here either (Notice the quality of these)

Trip To Idaho May 2007

2007-05-29T22:35:00.000-04:00

Me and Chad took off to Boise Idaho, I was up at 4AM EST and traveled for a bit, didnt take any pictures until 10 minutes from the aiport, taking pictures through dark bus window doesnt really turn out very well so the next few pictures are all bad... And then of course I am a great photographer picking the right kind of scenery, Nancy and TJ that was sitting behind us noticed my skills early on, we became good friends throughout the MPC event.

Denver in March 2007

2007-03-29T01:46:00.000-04:00

As we arrived in denver we sort of got dissapointed with the views, we thought there would be like big mountains on all sides, but it is really not more like some distant ones (later on this trip we saw that Salt Lake City UT was kind of what we though denver would be like as far as mountains go... Denver had great beers though, and great weather for march!!!

Purchased this one today

2007-02-28T21:13:00.000-05:00

Purchased this one today: 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LS - 2WD - V8 5.3 - 48000 Miles.

Traded in the Mac'n'Cheese Truck

2007-02-28T21:04:00.000-05:00

My 5 year journey with the Mac'n'Cheese (aka 1994 F150 v8 5.0 double gas tanks) is over, today I traded it in for a 2004 Chevy.
It had 147000 miles on it when I purchased it in May 2002, it had 168400 miles on it today, 6 month old tires and a brand new starter (3 days old!).

Didnt by this one

2006-04-08T22:08:00.000-04:00

Here is one of the other ones we looked at, we couldnt afford it though...

Here's what we got now

2006-04-08T21:56:00.000-04:00

So these are our vehicles right now, they are 11 years apart, so the big one is a bit jelous, even though he has another liter of volume and uses much more gas.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix

2006-04-08T21:54:00.000-04:00

Here is what we purchased :)

Sold the Sable

2006-04-08T21:52:00.000-04:00

On 3/30/2006 we sold our 2000 Sable LS Premium with 68000 miles on it, or rather, we traded it in, its amazing how the deals get better when you "fight" with them for a couple of weeks and wait until the end of the month :)
