Game Faces and Bike Lust

-


LOL.........didn`t realize I looked so damn angry when in my goalie mask. Geesh....and that was on my way out of the dressing room before the game.My intense game face? Or simply the mask pushing my jowls up into an appledoll face.

Today was the last Sunday of hockey until the New Year. I absolutely sucked hard the first 30 minutes. Couldn`t stop a bloody beachball. That said I found my groove and ended up playing fairly well for the rest of the day.

The core strength workouts are definitely showing some good results in nets. Hopefully a winter of core work will also show a difference on the bike come Springtime.

Awwwww......Christmas time.(sigh). I managed to get past Halloween with some semblance of dietary control and avoided the kid`s accumulated junk food surplus. Now if I can get through the holiday season with an equal diligence then I should be in good stead come 2007. The temptations are everywhere tho.......food and drink everywhere you go.

Found out that a fellow club member got himself a brand new Cervelo Carbon Soloist road bike.I`m happy for him cause he`s a great guy and strong rider but I`m overwhelmed with a serious case of bike lust. OOOOOOOOOOOOOO....that is one sweet ride. One sure would go nice with that CSC jersey I picked up on EBAY. Send all donations to......(wink).

Anyway.........Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah everyone.Best wishes of the Holiday season.

Chi, Ionized Water, Good Health and Q-Ray

-
Recently I have been doing some research into the Chinese practice of achieving "Chi", the balancing of the body`s "life force" in terms of well being.The premise being that to have good health one must balance positive/negative energies (ions)to achieve harmony. From what I have ascertained thus far the act of living creates positive ions in the body that need to be countered by negative ions. They attract each other and become as one. Nature, it seems, supplies negative ions through good food, clean air and pure water. The problem is that we now live in an increasingly polluted enviroment where pure food, water and air is at a premium.It is harder for the body to get the negative ions it needs to balance the positive ones that are the byproducts of living.It all reminds me of the whole free radical/antioxidant debate. Are they, in fact, one and the same?One an ancient Far Eastern belief and the other a 20th century scientific standard but both essentially the same...

WMD-C38 Bicycle Wheel Review

Happy Birthday to me! Needless to say I was gobsmacked when Canada Post dropped off a box this morning from Steve at Wheels Of Mass Destruction based out of Montreal Canada. Let the record show that Steve is my brother in law but I had no idea a set of (gorgeous) carbon fibre wheels were heading my way. Dude - you rock! http://ridewmd.com/index.php Not without some strings though. I quote....     "I wanted someone to test out my wheels that I know will give me constructive feedback. If you don't mind riding these wheels hard and giving me updates every couple of weeks I would really like it if you can give them a good run for the money...." No problem at all! I'll gladly do my best to test their mettle. PART ONE - INITIAL IMPRESSIONS Packaging - As a former warehouse supervisor for most of my working career I was impressed with the quality of the packaging. The wheels arrived at my door in a 26X26X12 sized S-4912 Uline singlewall box. Completely ...

Scythian Bow - Flagella Dei

-
Image
After several years of interest I finally decided to purchase a Scythian style of horse bow from Flagella Dei Archery based in Hungary.    Opted for a yew laminated bow #42@28 so it was a custom build but worth the wait. Feather light and simply beautiful. Build quality is great and pictures just do not give justice to the eye candy quality of the lamination, tip reinforcements and quality leather handle wrap. Shipping was fast from Europe and bow was professionally boxed with bubble wrap and a nice bow sack. Included was a certificate of authentication complete with the bowyer's signature and warranty information. Needless to say I was anxious to get it outside and loose some arrows. The rain held off on Saturday so it was a perfect opportunity to get out under the green. I just love this bow. Not only is it lightweight with precious little hand shock but is amazingly silent as well. I was using bamboo and wooden arrows but the bamboo arrows definitely suited the bow better o...
