a new one

Category: everything — mk @ 15:09

Jepp. I did it. I ordered my new car. I was fancy with the new 4×4 Antara,
but they had no date for it.
So i ordered the Zafira, with everything what makes fun. DVD Navigation, Panorama glass roof, Cruise Control, BiXenon Lights (Kurvenlicht, don’t know it in english), MP3-CD-Player, Automatic Aircondition, Tire Preassure Control, Leather Seats.
The crazy thing is, here can you see what cars i were able to buy 1990, for the money my new one costs. I bought my first car at 1990.

cool down

Category: everything — mk @ 14:50

It’s the 5th week my car dealer trys to get the broken parts for my aircondition. We have temeratures about 86°F. Just bought this at the flying iceman.
I actually hate my car. Think i’ll buy my new one this week - but i can’t get it
until october.
So every tour we make is “hot”. As Cee said: 4-w-cooling. Already have a tense neck.

Yesterday we made such a “hot” tour, to the “Burgmarkt” in Bocksberg.
In the evening we put some sardines and zucchinis on the grill, and opened/emptied
a bottle pino grigio (grandma had the kids).

I have to learn from my kids.

fieberbrunn, thursday, austria

Category: everything — mk @ 20:26

Too hot for everything today. We had 31°C in Fieberbrunn. We took the 4-seat-cable-car up the Buchensteinwand.
Up there we walked around a little lake and spend lot’s of time
on a playground with a wooden pirate-ship.
In the evening Simon and Daniel were playing with new friends,
two 7 and 9 year old boys. They were playing
on a construction area near the hotel and put little stones in
every hole they found. I hope we don’t meet
the construction workers.

They will kill us.

the backpack.

Hi there, a short update what happend yesterday - Ghana loos the match… *sigh*.
We spend the whole day on a theme park in St. Jakob. A rollercoaster, watergames, etc… it was a great fun for the kids.
Today, after a cruel breakfast, we will go to Leogang, there they have a Water-Theme-Way down the mountain.

To the cruel breakfast: This week the hotel is booked only by “all inclusive guests”.
So the hotel keeper try’s to save money, at breakfast, at dinner *sigh*

OK, have to go to  breakfast, pictures will come later.

Hey… i love W-LAN. As you can see - i can reach a
W-LAN Hotspot from the hotel room.
OK, i have to climb out of the window, in the second floor, but hey - i’ll do everything for a internet connection.
120 minutes for 12,- Euros.

Today we took the cable car on the “Lärchfiltzkogel” on 1654 m.
We walked down to the middle-station
and took again the cable car down to “Fieberbrun”.
It was a nice trip but i had to carry Daniel all the way down.

More to come.

On Vacation

Category: everything — mk @ 23:13

Hey…today my one-week-annual-holiday starts. It’s 11:50 pm, the bags are finally packed and stowed in the car. My last day at work was chaotic. All customers wished me a very very nice and recreative holiday and told me, it’s no problem for them to wait. I can do there work even on monday or tuesday morning (better monday), when i’m back in the office. No problem. So the week after holidays is already filled up.
I am thinking about not to come back. Nice idea…hehe.

Well, if my Hotel has no W-LAN Internetaccess it’s the last post for a week.
And to Cee: I’m trying to take a lot of pics (the mobile harddisk is freshly formatted)

best buy ever

Category: everything — mk @ 21:07

It was sunny today - by an oversight - the forecast said rain. And what will every garden owner do on an sunny day? Yes - drive to the “Baumarkt” (do-it-yourself store). We have found a non-green place in the garden, where we like to have some plants in pots. While i was trying to drag the overfilled caddy to the checkout i found it. Waaahhhh… i searched for a longe time, and what i found was too expensive. And now - 4.99 Euro each…. gosh! And the caddy was alread filled up.
So i have to come a second time, and filled the caddy again…..

But watch by yourself…
