Morgon from Georges Dubceuf

  

Gamay grape from Beaujolais district. Its flavor is on the light side. Quite fresh too.

Aventinus from G.Schneider & Sohn

  
This famous "American only" Doppel Bock supposed to be tasty as Schneider.... as least that was my expectation, did not come true.

Privada from Mendoza, Argentina.

  

Did not have many argentina wines before. This one was a trial and turned out not bad... Well balanced between aroma and flavor. Acid is on the weak side but not really a factor.. Blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cab. Yap...

Kia Sorrento

  

The first day i jumped on it, quickly realized why US car is beaten up. It rans quick smooth and quiet...

I didnot drive it enough. The only problems I encountered are that engine is not juicy enough. Ans on a cool morning after cold start, i guess the engine didnot warm up enough, it runs awkward..

Perrin&Fils from Cote du Rhone Villages

  

50% Grenache and 50% Syrah.... Very high tanning acid at beginning. Took a while to wake it up. But after that, has good balance of flavor and aroma... Think this is a good classic french wine.

737-700 from ATL to Orange County (SNA)

It was not a bad flight.. But its cabin entertainment was horrible. Pretty much anything worth watching requires a payment.. Now Delta is really nickle and dime on everything.... Soon they will charge for restroom and eventually the air in cabin.
Flew out in a gloomy day in Atlanta. Rain and Windy. And Marta had some issues with delaying the train. But then Orange county was gorgeous.... Gee... The weather here is just ridiculously nice...

Ford F-150

  

Need to do a small project at home so went out to rent a pick up. Ford F150 is recognized as the most popular pick up in US. The pick up culture is sort of funny in here. Just like 4x4 and SUV. Many people don't drive off road or haul something often but still prefer a SKU and pick up... While these thing sucking up unnecessary gas, then they try to justify it by safety reason.... They should not drive these kind of thing to start with :) Maybe the safety reason is really because stupier people tend to drive bigger car? Should post a heavy tax and insurance premium on these things so help them to think smarter or just be away from these.

Anyway interesting driving. Still prefer the comform from ordinary car than bumpy truck ride.

Chinese Shoashin

A gift from my colleague... The package quality seem quite above average. And my chinese friends seem like it. But i am not used to this type of liquer. So only had some sips and put it back to wine cellar.

2006 Rioja Crianza from El Coto

 

Made from Spain Tempranillo. It has quite strong oak favor.. Sort of over power since tempranillo is relatively light....

DeLorean DMC-12 from hot wheel

  

Accidentally found and bought this one from Walmart, while picking up gifts for kids.. Ya! Why not pick something for myself and this one suddenly came up (I actaully found something i really want couple days later in different store).

Delorean had a such rich history, not only a car used in 'back to the future', modern and full of ideology of car design, but also itself was a symbol of greed and fraud...just like recent wall street mayhem.

So brought it back to be part of my collection... Hehe.

2008 Carmenere from Sombras Del Sol

 

Still have to mention that the merlot from Sombras Del Sol is still one of the best merlot I tried.... This Carmenere from the same vintage is not bad too.... But I think is lighter than what Carmenere should be...

Hefe-Weissbier from Franziskaner

A little light.. I should say it is lighter than my expected and most hefe-weisserbier I tried... And the change of taste due to temperature variation is significant among thr hefe-weiss I ever had so far.

2007 Merlot from Pollak Vineyards

 

From Monticello, Virginia... I like it. One of the Virginia wines (hope not the only one) which I think can compete on general wine market.

 

Chrysler Sebring Convertible...

My wife said "gee I didn't experience a convertible until like graduate school age... But these kids had it now?"

We got a nice "upgrade" from mid class to convertible at Key West. Nothing can complain, really, other than the too small luggage compartment..

Steering, horse power, fuel consumption all seem fine for me.. Cannot recall why last time I had a mustang convertible (that is like almost 10 years ago) gave me some cranky awkward impression.

Kids loved it and refused to put on the top.. Even it is at night or dripping weather ... hehe

Boeing 737-700, ATL to Key West

A nice flight to conch republic... But kids drove us crazy...

The southernmost and Hemingway's house are most see... But remainings are so so... It is nice under single/couple setting. But for family, it is more a experiencing journey rather than a truely relaxing trip.

Acura Integra

 

Accidentally met this 91/92 model integra. It is eaxctly the same model, color and trim as my first car - the first car I have ever bought. I drove it almost 2 years, went around mid west and later Texas. Put a lot of mileage on it and have great memory. 1.8 liter Vtec engine. Powerful, smoothy, and spacy. Steering is agile and great for some actions. Nothing I can complain except the doggy smell left from previous owner.

I still miss it.

T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, aka HTC Rhodium

new phone new phone...

I finally got a new phone after losing MDA and then took CHT9000 as the temporary replacement
Wooops, I should not say CHT9000 is a replacement, even that was the initial intention.
CHT9000 runs so well that pretty much does whatever I asked it to do.. So, I lost the intention and kept using it until recent.

I was playing around internet and noticed that on auction site (everyone knows what it is), there are quite some good deals for newer phone. After checking around, I still stay with HTC (not only because it is a Taiwan company), and really not many slide form Android phones on the market yet (G1? yak... that is not sleek looking at all). iphone? sorry, I am not in the mist that paying call girl premium just because she is blonde (sound irrelevant). Anyway, I managed to get one (slightly used) with less than 200 bucks. That is even less than what it is asking with two years contract!

 

So, I was relatively surprised by the progess it had since wm6. it has been a huge leap from CHT9000, not even comparable to MDA. Want to mention I started using the smartphone from the first generation - the "VisorPhone", a springboard module for Headspring Visor??? sadly I lost it on the flight, otherwise it will be such a nice antique decoration ..

If you manage it well, it can run on CDMA (sprint and Verizon) or GSM(T-mobile and AT&T). Did I mention that CHT9000 worked perfectly on Japan, even better than in US territory because it switched to HSDPA by itself? It does hotspot. It has GPS with geo-tag camera. Whatever, it has too much features that I even don't want to use. And don't tell me you want to use it for games or social network... screw, it is for productivity.

Anyway, I am pleased with what it is offering, can do my job easier and faster, with some other entertainment. My wife is also impressed (she was a palm user, stuck with PDA concept and did not buy in this all-in-one pholosophy) so we ended up getting second unit. Brand new with even cheaper price!!!!! what else we can ask for??

Boeing 737-700 DTW-ATL

I am surprised they had personal entertainment center installed on 737... at least cannot recall i saw this often....

Boeing 777-200 ATL-DTW

I will start recording the aircraft I took, on top the car I drove, since life is boring :)

a huge aircraft used between Atlanta and Detroit. I bet is the re-arrangement of delta fleet, replacing 747 to 777?.. And i loved 777 and got upgraded again this time. last time was n years ago...
