game time

peting73 — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 10:49:45 GMT

well if you have a small one you have to
improvise and adapt.
so this is how we play Swtor with a baby.

Had a great time last night with my friends from work.
they gave me a Caol Ila 12 year old
so thanks to Youhaan, Zorbee, Sippe and mr Azza for that!

me a dad!

peting73 — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 15:02:19 GMT

Well it have been a strange time this last weeks.
Suddenly you have this small thing you have to
feed, change and care for.
Only thing i can say is, when i see this:

i don't care about the loss of sleep and work.
All my love to my little one.

me and my daughter

peting73 — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 09:17:56 GMT

Here my daughter 2 hours old. still have a hard time to understand it.

Beer

peting73 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:03:18 GMT

ok second beer or whisky post this time it will be about beer.
Ok one thing first i love a beer now and then, i love trying out new and uncommon sorts.
But there is the thing me and my friends call “stock” beer.
We call it that because it always will be good.
If you just want one beer when you are in front of the computer,
or you are drinking yourself silly with friends it will be good.
Me i go with a lager called Norrlands guld.
It’s a lager so there is no surprises there just an ordinary beer,
i guess any plain lager will work as a “stock” beer so go out and find yours!

Beer and a whisky review

peting73 — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 19:12:13 GMT

Ok Fridays will be a beer or a whisky review.
And because its me who do the testing you might disagree as much as you like because this is tested by my preferences and likings.
As this is the first one it will be a beer and a whisky.

First the beer: “Brother Thelonious” A Belgian abby style ale.
Brewed by the North coast brewing co. inc.

Ok this is a abby ale and if you never tried one before i find them sweeter than a lager but with much more taste. This one is not so bitter/acrid but with a clear after taste of the alcohol. I would recommend this to anyone who hasn’t tried abby ale’s before but for those who have there is more and better out there.

Now the whisky ´: “Laphroaig 10years”( La-froyg)

OK this one is one of my personal favourite. It’s an Islay whisky that means its smoky.
First taste is smoke and allot then you get all of the flavours and I find a bit of vanilla in it.
Defiantly not for anyone who don’t like the smoky taste, but if you have tried a few whisky and liked them give it a try.

really i am. have not done anything in a while so i thought it would be time
for a picture again.

this is kseenaa's brothers kid hanging on his mom's shoulder

Late but an update

peting73 — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:05:34 GMT

where to start?
I did get sick and had to spend 3 days in the hospital, it where a
complication to the flu, made it hard to breath and drink.

not a good picture but that's what will happen to your arm when they
take to many blood samples.

Now for something nicer me and kseenaa made semlor

They where awesome but not to good if you are trying to lose some weight.

Talking about that i have been losing weight since last down to 107,1Kg (235,6Lbs)
Despite eating semlor and allot of candy this weekend.

Uppdate a day late

peting73 — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 07:15:56 GMT

Well its not my fault the update is a bit late this time.
I work Monday to Thursday 13:30 to 23:30 so last Friday i decided to spend it
in front of my computer playing games.
All well until my router starts acting weird, it goes from bad to
not working at all on Sunday.
Off to the shop on Monday to buy a new one, OK I'm not a computer pro
but i know enough to install a router.
This new one wont work.
Spend hours trying to fix it then i have to get to work, so i ask kseenaa to call the support for help.
Well they cant find anything wrong with the settings so they try and resets the thing
and yes now it works. Might add that i did try that to.

so all back on track again that's the weight loss to down a bit
not much but a bit to 109,3 KG (240,6 Lbs).

monday uppdate a bit late

peting73 — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 08:56:00 GMT

First the note of shame my weight is going up and down now at 109,8 Kg (241,6 Lbs).
Have to stop with the weekend overeating.

Did buy a new www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_s_55_250mm_f_4_5_6_is lens for my camera.

had to see how good it was so took a picture of my car.

ok its not so good but it was to test the zoom of my new lens. Taken from my kitchen window on the second floor, i am happy with it so far.

And last about the car, did my last payment on it so now its all mine!

monday uppdate

peting73 — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 10:06:56 GMT

Monday again lets start with the weight 108,7kg (239.14 Lbs).
No beer and cookies this weekend so its back on right track again.

Did get my Photoshop elements last Friday and where actually surprised how easy you could do simple things.

This is the raw image i started with

And this is my enhanced version.
Well a pro might have done it better but i am happy with it.

Beer and UPS

peting73 — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 07:50:26 GMT

Lets start with the weight update, I am now at 110,7Kg (243.5 Lbs).
Going the wrong way but that's expected had a Saturday with allot of beer and cookies.

Then UPS a delivery company with no costumer service at all.
They where here to deliver on Wednesday, and to my suprise the couldent call me and ask
for the code to get in to the door, so they called me and asked can we come tomorrow
between 13:00 and 16:00. Those times are the only time none is at home. Can they change time? no had to be that time.Well then i said Friday i will be home all day and we decided that it was the best for all. DID THEY COME ON FRIDAY? of course not they came Monday at 14:06 when i had told them no one is home at that time. So Kseenaa called them and asked why. They had no note on what i told them at all and couldn't make any promises that they wouldn't be here between those times, So simply they screw up and now i have to wait until Friday.
UPS a delivery company with no costumer service at all at least in Sweden so stay away from its my advise.
