AccidentalChef Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I just finished my last day of regular classes of my junior year... I finish my math major next spring, and could even conceivably graduate a year from now. To celebrate, I cracked open what is possibly my favourite beer... Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA. Mmmm, the nectar of the gods, right there. And if you're wondering about my spelling of 'favourite', my spell check dictionary somehow got switched to British English, so I've decided to just run with it.

paragonUE Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 chef, ive always spelled that way, it looks right and you like beer, well few compare to Leffe Brune its brewed by belgian monks, imagine a beer brewed by belgian holy men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 My wife got me a Wii Fit for an early father's day present. First thing it did (fitness test) was tell me I'm fat. If I did that for mothers day I'd be a dead man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Tex - I can't find a wii fit, apparently I screwed up by not preordering. What other games do you have? anything I can challenge you to online? Mario cart is excellent, and Guitar Hero is fun. Those are my only two that can go online. I also have Tiger woods, lynx (the crossbow game that comes with the gun), mario and sonic at the olympics, and of course wii sports.

ncermak Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 is the winter sports pack a seperate game for the fit? or is it included? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 actually the snowboard GS is on the Wii Fit disc. winter sports pack is separate - I haven't opened it yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Hmmmm, call me old fashioned but I'll stick to doing yoga like I've done it for 20 years-by myself! Yoga shouldn't make you sore, but you need to gradually increase what you do after a slow start. Most people are incredibly unflexible-they need to have a yoga for Americans feature with starting out with only 1 or 2 poses..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 soreness is more from recovering from the snowboard season, but I am doing things with muscles that I haven't used in a long time. If I could find a Yoga instructor that would come to my house at 5am every day I'd do it the old fashioned way too. Till then, I'll do my best with the computer assistant.

EnisiWaya Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 My father Walter Kenyon Passed over last night. He was 88 years old. He was one of the first two Aeronautical Engineers to graduate with a specialty in rotary wing aircraft (helicopters) in the world. One of the founders of the Helicopter society and was the creator of the first attack helicopter squadron. He will be missed by many. and you know those little defroster wires in your car back and some front windows......He did that with a crude battery and toggle switch during the Korean war to keep the canopies on the jets from shattering when they landed in the calif desert ( now Miramar) which was at 120 degrees F in the shade He was the air maintenance boss. he had two buddies from Langley research NACA who had been recalled to navy service at Hughes Aircraft In San Diego (actually La Hoya) that helped. they were all on recall From NACA the predecessor to NASA so public knowledge no patents. SAme with the famous NACA type /shaped air inlet ducts seen on so many race cars over the last 50 years. He drew the original on a paper napkin at lunch while at Langley and the wind tunnel. It was originally an air inlet to cool the transmission below the rotors on a Sikorsky helicopter that he designed to use the high pressure effect back in 1950 or 51.

If any of you have read the book HELLBIRDS, it explains his whole situation in WWII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
