Craftsman Toolbox

Here is something that would be great to add to my Wish List. It is a Craftsman Toolbox. It would be perfect for all the bicycle tools I have at the moment. If they weren’t so expensive, I would buy two of them for all the bicycle tools I have. Maybe, next Christmas.
It can be [...]

Fuji 1GB xD Memory Card

Here is something I have added to my list of things I want. It is a Fuji 1GB xD Card. It would be nice to add to my camera accesories. Tired of having multiple smaller cards and having to change them out while taking pictures. Maybe before my next big trip.
It can be found [...]

Bicycle Tire Going Flat, No worries.

Riding along with your buddies and one of them says, “Hey, your tires look a little flat. Why don’t we stop so we can pump them up?” You reply, “Nah, Everything is cool and press a button on the fly.” It seems that can now be the case. There is a company that has modified [...]

Graceland in Memphis, TN

Well, today I took my cousin to Graceland in Memphis, TN. Lot of pics. Tour cost $28.00 and included tour of the Mansion, Airplanes, Car Museum and Sincerely Elvis Museum. Not a bad deal at all. We did go downtown to Blues City Cafe and each got a slab of ribs. Great food. We took [...]

Walking in Memphis

Well, looks like I will be a Tourist in Memphis, TN. My cousin is in town and I will be giving him a Tour of Memphis TN. Of course, Graceland is one of the stops, with a few places downtown.
If you have any suggestions on other places to show him in Memphis, TN, [...]

Polish Postal Service

OK, I heard that it can take 2, 3 or more weeks for a letter to get to the states from Krakow, Poland. The postcards were sent on December 5th and 6th and I have already heard from some people stating that they received them. Not bad at all. I wonder how [...]

Finally Home

Well, I have finally made it home. I will only be here a few weeks, till I head back out to Krakow, Poland again. Hopefully, I will be lucky and not have to fly into Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport.

Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport

The layover in Paris Charles de Gaulle International Airport was what I expected. It is the worst airport I have been in ever. There are more Satellite Terminals than 10 airports here in the states. Plan on being there at least 3 hours prior to your flight leaving, because you have to ride a bus [...]

Well, I’m on my way Home Sweet Home……

Well, my time in Krakow, Poland is almost over, though I will be back again in January. I will be leaving at 8 am and heading towards the Paris Airport, which I hear is hell. I am guessing I will have a good story to tell from Paris. The heading to Atlanta then Memphis. [...]

Paparazzi

Well, a trip in Europe would not be the same without the Paparazzi. While in the Holiday Inn Bar/Waiting area about 10 Paparazzi stormed in to start snapping photos os some guy. The guy was standing up and watching the Plasma TV when flash bulbs started flaring. After recovering from the blinding flash, I asked [...]

Snail Mail

I have asked many for addresses to mail Christmas Postcards. To those that responded, all cards were mail on December 5 and December 6th. If one of those people, hopefully the card will arrive before Christmas in the US. If you are in South America, there is no telling when the card [...]

Anyone for Golf…

This am I woke up to take a tour, not a normal tour. No tours were taken on December 6th due to too much rain. The tour was not on foot or by bus, but by a covered golf cart. The tour pretty much took me around the entire city in 2 hours for about [...]

Doing the Dew in Poland

After almost a week here in Krakow, Poland I was informed that they do in fact have Mountain Dew. Taste a little different, but close enough. Also, instead the darker green the bottle is closer to a flourescent lime green.
You can go to the Polish version of the Mountain Dew Web page at Mountain Dew

Ipod bicycle charger

Ok, so now you can ride your bike and charge your ipod at the sametime. Bicycle light generator was modified to be able to charge an ipod. Niterider needs to work on an official version.

Zakopane, Poland

Today we went to Zakopane, which is similar to a ski resort in the states. Skiing has not officially begun as the ski lifts were not working. After walking around the mountain a bit we decended via the gondola to the town of Zakopane where we walked around the shops and restaurants.

While there I took [...]

Market Square Krakow, Poland

After sleeping the day away in the hotel I finally work up at 4:30 pm , I went to bed at 3:00am.(13 hour sleep) I must have been extremely tired. After waking up I made my way to the Market where many vendors have been for a week, selling Christmas stuff. Ther are also setting [...]

"Bitch Ass Cold"

“Bitch Ass Cold”, or at least that is how one of my co-workers considered today to be. I would have to agree. It was very cold and windy. Though it might not be as cold as it is in Salt Lake City, Utah, it is very cold. Even in the cold I managed to take [...]

Bird Flu and Cribs

Just kidding about the bird flu. There are just a ton of birds in the Market Square. I almost got nailed by one when it flew by. I would even guess that a bird has hit someone in the face more than once, as I had a few close calls. Now is regard to “Cribs”.
While [...]
