Birthday Boy!

So today is my birthday, yay!(?) I am 28, which is just fine with me.
Anne made me that black forest cake, which was pretty good, especially when all mashed up with chocolate ice cream.
I ordered myself a new mouse pad and mouse feet which I am looking forward to.
I also was got a box of birthday cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crush) which is my most favortisting cereal evar.
That about sums up birthday activities for the day.
We have to leave for my parents shortly as they are moving today into these new house in town. The funny thing is that there new house isn't quite finished year so they will be living in squalor for a few weeks.

Rally Germany

Here is my Rally Germany Highlights (40MB).
This one is my favorite after my Finland Highlights.

Mountain Biking

My friend Ian came up for the weekend and we mountian biked here and here and here. The Bruce Peninsula Mountain Biking Adventure Park was one we had not tried before and we were both very impressed. As you can see in the picture there were some great obstacles and the trails were very well done. Its a lot rougher than the Brant tract and you have to slog through some of the rough sections. I am going to try and make it there a couple of times more this year for sure.

Virtual Death

Someone I knew and corresponded with on Shacknews pretty regularly died last week in a motorcycle accident. He was a pretty well know shacker and so after realizing he hadn’t posted in a few days people discovered after a bit of googling that he was dead. It seems his death was pretty much his fault as he was going way to fast on the motorcycle and couldn’t stop in a time and slid into a stopped car on the road. There is even a thread on the message boards where people told him he was going to be killed sooner or later if he kept doing going like that on his bike.
Anyway, I am surprisingly bummed about it. We were both big rally fans and were planning to play against each other in one of my rally games shorting. I was even about to message him to plan a time this week just before I found out. I never even spoke to the guy in real time, athough now I really wish I could have met him. It was always through the message boards or private messaging. The other sad thing is I don’t think he was a Christian either.
Anyway, R.I.P. “Harkov”.
