News... and then some.

Ok first of all I have been trying out my new skis. A pair of Line anthem, Everybody keeps telling me they are pretty soft but I find them rather stiff, maybe I should have gone with a shorter length but atleast I'm happy with their performance. They are really good on the hardpack right now but I guess the conditions in the piste are pretty much optimal. We have been building a minipark in the backyard and its starting to take shape and soon enough we can start to use it. We just need a little higher inrun.
Second we bought a car together and it seems to be working out fine. Its a -87 Ford F150 with room for 6 actually. So far there doesent seem like its going to be any problems with it. There is some leaking from the powersteering but nothing spectacular apart from that.
Not very remarkable news yet. But the main thing that will dominate my life here in Canada is that I from now on is a Snowmobile-owner. How did this happen then, to make a longstory short I tried out one smashed it into a rock and the repairs would be more expensive than the sleds worth. So 4 000 Cad later me and my friends Emil and Mike (thanks guys for helping me out) where bashing it to get it in riding condition. After 5 hours working outside in -11 and a couple of hundred dollars spent on parts it seems like its actually in pretty good running condition, hopefully it wont fall apart totally tomorrow. This really puts a serious dent in my budget. 
Well what to do next? I will first of all enjoy owning a way to powerful sled and then Im going to try to sell it and anyhow my airplaneticket home from this Godforsaken country will be rebooked to a earlier date and I will start looking for work ASAP. Wish me luck.... 
Pictures will be posted shortly
