Opening Weekend

The ski season is finally upon us.  Whitefish mountain opens up on Saturday, December 4th.  I wish I could be there but I'm leaving for Vegas on Monday so it just didn't work out.  I know other hills in the area have opened up recently as well.  Fernie got going last weekend and I believe Castle Mountain opens up today. The last time I was at Castle Mountain is when it was called West Castle.  I might have to make a day trip to Castle and see what all the talk is about.  I do think Whitefish is the best of the best.  Big hill, lots of snow, short lines, good eats, cool pubs and lots to do other then ski.  I'm just gonna have to wait until New Years for the 'Fish...

SOA in Canada

SOA - Sons of Anarchy

Have any of you watched this?  I've seen the first 2 seasons, and like always, Canada is way behind when it comes to airing new TV shows. 

Im not going to get into to much detail and tell you what the show is about, or try and get you up to date on what has happened.  It's an action/drama series, created by Kurt Sutter, about a motorcycle club in Northern California.  That's it.  That's all im saying.  Just take my word for it.  It's a good show.

Season 3 of SOA has just wrapped up on FX and I have no idea what has happened.  So please don't ruin it for me.  I know that there are ways to watch it online, but you have to sign up and usually pay a fee which gets to be a pain in the a$$.

I just recently found out that season 3 will be airing in Canada on the Superchannel (SC1) on December 8, 2010 at 10pm.  Mark it on your calanders.

If you haven't seen the first 2 seasons then get on it.  That way you'll be caught up and ready for season 3.

2010 Yamaha V-Max VMX17

2010 Yamaha V-Max VMX17

The legend continues.

In '85 the original V-Max turned the motorcycle world on its ear. Our engineers took a big dose of the original "Mad Max" DNA then added a bunch of Yamaha's latest sport bike technologies like our chip controlled variable intake stacks, a high tech fuel injection system and our famous fly by wire throttle. The result is the next generation VMAX. The legendary sound, engine character and amazing acceleration are all part of the design but there is a twist. The VMAX offers truly sporty handling, thanks to its lightweight aluminium chassis and fully adjustable suspension. Scorched any pavement lately?

Unlike any other motorcycle available today, the 2010 Yamaha VMAX is truly in a class of its own. The awesome acceleration and muscular beauty combines with sporty handling and Yamaha's latest electronic engine management technologies to offer an incredibly exhilarating riding experience.

The 2010 Yamaha VMAX has always been the untimate muscle bike, and the 2010 VMAX is the awesome result of its evolutionary journey. The unique features of this iconic beast are richly blended with advanced sportbike technology and forward-thinking style. It all ads up to a machine with immense performance and visual power.

Built for the touring rider who has to have it all—and look good having it…

Flagship of the Vulcan® 1700 family, the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager® and Voyager ABS come equipped with everything the serious touring rider needs to pile on the miles in comfort and style: a large frame-mounted fairing, amazing storage capacity, a sculpted touring seat, electronic cruise control, a premium sound system and a powerful long-stroke 1700cc, liquid-cooled, 52° V-Twin engine.

For 2010, the Vulcan Voyager ABS’s complement of cutting-edge electronics is headlined by a new, second-generation version of the Kawasaki Advanced Coactive Braking Technology (K-ACT) system. Available on the ABS-equipped Voyager, K-ACT uses advanced electronics to translate the rider’s braking inputs into both the front lever and rear pedal into smooth, balanced deceleration and maximum stopping performance. Basically, the front lever also activates the rear brake, and the rear pedal also engages the right front caliper: K-ACT sees to it that that happens seamlessly and efficiently, and the new, second-generation system uses the same smaller, lighter ABS unit and the faster, higher-spec brake ECU found on the Kawasaki Concours™ 14 ABS motorcycle for even smoother, more precise operation. (Unlike the Concours 14 ABS, however, only a single K-ACT mode is available.) K-ACT’s coactive function does not engage when braking is initiated at speeds below 12 mph, and the ABS function is automatically disengaged at speeds below four mph.

A meatball recipe I worked hard to develop and now cannot find where I put the recipe. They will probably never be made the same way again. And they were really yummy too...
