White Yaksmas!

I has been a while, since we had a white Yaksmas. This year has been a good year for me, so no wonder that this will top it off.

Happy and Merry Yaksmas to everyone!

My baby

So, I finally got my baby. 1970 Chevrolet El Camino, with 350 cid(300hp) and TH-350. I drove her from Teuva to Helsinki on tuesday and it couldn't be any better day to drive around small countryroads and just cruising. I was suprised about the mpg, since I filled tank to full on Teuva and after a 250 mil(400km) trip to Helsinki it was only 14 mpg(16l/100) and half of the trip I was cruising on highway about 87 mph(140kmh). Althought there is much to do with her, but technical side is in order, so all I have to do is just drive her around and fixing little bit here and there. As I yesterday was unloading the "junk" that came with her, I found that the previous owner was going to restore her in formef glory and there was around 700-800$ worth of new items. 18 years of dreaming has finally come to end.

Back to basics

So, I sold my Canon gear. I shoot now only with Fuji S5 Pro and Nikkor lenses. Althought I liked my Canon 5D very much, but Fuji has better dynamic range and keeps me out of the computer much more. More time to shoot, less time to tweak shots. Tomorrow I got the news about my Elkie. Yay!

Hot summer day @ Lauttasaari

So, I had a day-off from the work and I did spend it wisely. Got a lot's of thing's done and I spend a lot of time on my sunny balcony. I love wireless. Had my Macbook and cold Dr. Pepper with me at the balcony and life couldn't get any better. Well, just maybe. When my El Camino arrives, one of my long dream is full filled. Latest news is that She'll be here in mid-july. So untill then, Arrivederci!

There aren't a better place to live...

At the morning of the fire...

Housewarming Party

Well, I had it on last saturday and I am finally getting over the hangover and started cleaning. Which isn't much, but lots of half emtpy can's of beer. Almost all of the food and chips was eaten. Thanks for everyone for the party and company.

Dinner @ balcony

It's nice and a sunny day today at the Lauttasaari. So I enjoyed a dinner at my balcony. Had potatoes with meatballs in a brown gravy. Topped with onions. Life couldn't be any better now. Well, of course it could be, but this is just enough for now. Maybe I'll take a bikeride later in the evening.

I've had it with this motherf#€%ing flu in this motherf&%€ing body.

So I enjoyed sunday's sunny mid-day at my balcony. On my new chest. I think that's going to be a favorite spot to spend my time on the balcony. Reading Adobe Classroom in a Book. About LR2.

Cheers.
