Skyline Lake snowshoeing trip

It was a beautiful, warm-ish day with several inches of fresh snow on top of packed snow.  I got to try Jeremy Clarkson's ingenious snow depth measuring technique.  Good times.

Accuracy of the IWC Vintage Series Aquatimer

I set my Aquatimer to atomic clock (time.gov) on Jan 1st, and today, on Feb 1st, it gained total of 6 seconds.  All I did is to wear it everyday no matter what I'm doing (working, hiking, running, or even 4 hour go-kart race), and rested it crown down when I'm asleep.  6 seconds in 31 days, or in other words 0.2 seconds a day.  The movement in this watch, Calibre 80111, is astonishing!

Bravo IWC.  This is a keeper.

4-hour endurance go-kart race

I had my first motorsport race today. 4 hours endurance go-kart race at Pacific Raceways karting track. We were a 3-person team and we came 4th... I've been to couple accidents, I spun few times, my fingers were frozen most of the time, I physically hurt my back, I can't use my thumbs anymore because those muscles are shot, and I can't really raise my arms because my biceps hurt. BUT I HAD MASSIVE FUN!!!!!!!

Just driving the kart, and sliding through turns is fun.  But what makes it special is the competition .  Setting up someone to pass, trying to defend your position, passing someone on the outside of next turn who just passed you in the inside...  The adrenalin rush!!  

Couple of time during the race, I had to pit because I was either tired or my fingers were frozen.. But I couldn't. Because you just want to catchup that guy, or pass back the guy who just over took you.  Competition rules.
