Today I had the part of cooking, and my decision was a summertime meal (MESTM). Sorry, but the names are german: The apetizer were "Kaspressknödl auf Steinpilzsoße" followed by "Nudeln mit Radieschen - Mungobohnenkeimlingen - Weißwein - Sugo und gebratenem Lachs mit Schnittlauchsoße". The dessert was "Schokoladenpudding mit Mangospalten". Time of preparation was 2 hours, time of eating 20 minutes and time of cleaning the kitchen 1 hour. But the taste was superb and the stomachs were quite full!

After a lot of searching in my cellar I found my old hand held transceiver for 2m FM, an ALINCO 203 E. The last recharge of the batterys was 1987. So I wondered, if this thing still works. I charged the batteries for 15 hours and then started it. Well. There were the frequencies, I stored in 1987 still there. Today, I switched it on for the whole evening, no problems to listen to the recievers on Grünberg OE7XWH and Patscherkofel OE7XTI. My amateur radio sign is OE7JAJ. I listened to a talk between Mieminger Plateau and Sydney/Australia. Quite nice. Amateur radio is back again. :-)
The ALINCO

Today I had a wonderful day with skiing at the Rosshütte in Seefeld. A one-day-ticket costs 29 EUR, but M-Preis sold 1+1 for that price. So actually for one person 14,50 EUR. We were skiing from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a wonderful weather and wonderful snow. In addition we reached a peak, the Seefelder Joch, as you can see, by foot. On the other picture you can see the Hohe Munde on the right, Obsteig and the Grünberg in the middle and the Stubaier Alpen on the left. In the foreground you can see Seefeld.

Today I glued the port-side part of the hull of my yacht to the structure. Quite difficult because of the curves at the bow. But have a look at your own.

Today we had a workshop in drawing nudes. I used charcoal, red chalk and pencils. We had a model acting for 10 minutes per pose, so I had to draw very fast. The goal was to catch light and shadow among the body to form a picture that pleases the eyes. That was not easy, so I have a lot of torso-drawings because of lack of time. It was a very new experience for me: drawing bodys, drawing faces, moreover, drawing a nude. You know, 'till now I used to draw comics or technical pictures. So maybe you want to pose for me? ;-)

Had a fine cinema evening tonight. "Wie im Himmel". Swedish film in which the choir travels to Salzburg. But you can see them coming to Innsbruck from the south. And in the city you can see Innsbruck in 2004 but the tramway is the one from the museum.

Today I had a very fine skiing at Hoch Ötz. And it was cheaper than yesterday: from 1 p.m. till 4.15 p.m. ist costs 12,70 EUR. And I had much more ski-run possibilities. Have a look.

Had a fine hour skiing at the Grünberg. 4,70 EUR for three downhills from 15:10 till 16:00. Because uphill lasts 12 minutes and downhill 3 minutes. It is meditative skiing; or more meditative uphilling...

The hull-structure of the yacht is ready. Watch the growing of the yacht here.

Today we had a tobogganing tour to Hochimst. There were a lot of people, but we had to wait only 15 minutes to take a ride uphill. Interesting, that the Alpine coaster is in use even in winter with a windshield. Tobogganing was fine and fast.

Today we took a walk cross country. You would not beleave, but the snow reached nearly our hip. But as you know, we have a tiny dog, Gipsy. Her feet were too short to reach the ground. So it looked as she was swimming. Watch yourself

We were at Claudias sister, played a lot of games (Mamma Mia, Bohnanza), had a fine dinner, drank a lot, watched the rockets, melted lead and on New years day we were tobogganing at the "Elfer Lift". Lets take the year 2006. Which means in german: "Zweitausend Null Sex"

Today was the launching of the motor-yacht building. It is the first one, I had as a child, built after a plan I found 15 years ago again in Graz. Soon you will get pictures of it.

We had a fine Christmas evening with barleysoup and cruller, Bethlehem story, Christmas carols, exchanging gifts and cookies afterwards. At midnight we sang with the choir in the church, I played the guitar. It was a nice evening.

still ill since days. No beer, no cigarette. still ill.
