Puzzle is broken and I’m in the middle of it. No updates for anytime soon.

Borrowed keys come with huge keyrings.

A tiny pile of leafs.

Promised not to complain about Mondays anymore. I won’t. Although it didn’t go all that well this time either. I was feeling efficient and decided to clear out my work queue.

Only one itchy bitchy problem came to light – I had no keys with me today. Did I already mention it’s autumn holidays at schools this week. Keys were pretty hard to come by, but I managed to borrow me some.

In the evening it was time to rake up the backyard. Phew… there was a leaf or two.

Year One.

Seven Pounds.

Sunday was couch day. Again. Watched a couple of movies, a light comedy for starters and something deeper afterwards.

Year One (2009) – Oh boy, did this movie suck or what? I don’t like Jack Black and the jokes were so not funny. NOT recommended.

I retrieved my car from Jyväskylä where it slept over the night.

Seven Pounds (2008) – Great movie. Will Smith has lately been in many good movies (Hancock, I Am Legend, The Pursuit of Happiness). Highly recommended.

Sunday sauna hit the spot.

Big Brother.

Enter Sandman.

Virrat rock city. Well, without the rock this time.

Today we visited our godson Otso who lives in Virrat rock city. Otso has a name day tomorrow but we had to ‘party’ a day early since we had to leave back home today.

I took a quick car wash on my way home from Virrat although those brushless car washes are somewhat a joke…

Soon we are of to Jyväskylä to my granny’s birthday party. We’re gonna enjoy some dinner and most probably it’s gamble time after that $$$.

Classic Mercedes.

Medium- steak, here I come!

UPDATE: Nice evening. Dinner was great and as I guessed earlier, it was gamble time after that. We spent numerous hours at Club RAY Casino. I won three figures so I guess it was okay. We drank pretty good (and expensive) whiskeys with Antti and had marvelous time. My 40.5×2 year old Grandma is a real steel-granny.

Around midnight, a classic Mercedes Benz took as home. Awesome – more cars with class and/or attitude are welcome as Taxis.

Otso and his own remote.

Dinner @ Torero.

Morning was really cold.

Some friendly soul charged the phones over night.

It’s Friday, Yay! The morning was really cold, good thing Webasto had warmed up my car. At work I found a pleasant surprise – some friendly soul had charged the helldesk phones over night. Cheers for that.

Work hours flew by fast and most of the time it was a blast. I honestly believe that by having fun while working, one actually increases his/her work efficiency.

Earlier this week I already got the 17” summer wheel set sold and today I sold the 16” winter set also. Now I’m rollin’ in dough until I get the 18” winter set from the local tire shop.

After work we headed for Virrat for a short stay.

Tire section of my registration form.

Whoa! I have been an easy target. Yesterday a telemarketer sold me a magazine for 12 months with some good extras. I usually don’t go for these, but I don’t know what’s with me now – today a telemarketer was offering me a satellite deal and guess what – I went for it!

I also invested for new winter rims and tires today. I chose Volvo Pegasus (R-Replica) Hyper Black 18” rims with Hakkapeliitta 5 tires. At first I was supposed to get the new Hakkapeliitta 7 tires, but they cost nearly 100 euros more per tire so I went for the nearly identical 5’s. I’m not sure if those rims where the best choice, but I didn’t want anything polished for the winter since polished finish doesn’t go too well with salt and crappy weather conditions. And after all, they are Volvo R replicas – can’t go much wrong with those.

At lunch hour I visited local tax office – for nothing. Damn I hate it when I (or any other tiny individual for that matter) gets kicked in the head by society. Not sure if I should post this here, but I’m pissed enough to do it:

Hooray for underground economy!

Volvo Pegasus, R-replica's.

Queue number at tax office.

I made a Canal+ satellite deal.

Camel puzzle solved. BTW, those camels in the front are facing you

Censored...

Today was all weird. Ok, but weird.

I worked way harder than yesterday although it once again doesn’t show on the stats

But what the heck… I for one know it.

I also mastered the camel puzzle today. Five times.

Some puzzles at work. These were way more interesting than the problems we usually solve...

"Gifts" from Hong Kong.

Today was the day of troubles… or more like problems – and mostly of the fun kind. The match-camels were a bit frustrating but then again, there’s something to do tomorrow on coffee breaks.

Got a packet of “gifts” from Hong Kong. No mosquito repellents this time Also watched a movie called “State of Play”. It was quite ok, but I have to admit that I slept at the end. That was just the fatigue talking not that the movie was dull. Of to bed now so I’m all vivid and cheerful tomorrow

Tero, Virpi and Veeti.

It’s been a nice weekend @ home. My cousin visited with his family and we had a great time. We didn’t actually do anything special, we just hanged and the hours flew by. 2 year old Veeti was the center of attention the whole weekend. What a sweet kid Not everything went smooth though – Veeti forgot his Mazda RX7 and his father forgot his meds, coat and wallet at our place when they left… Doh!

In the evening I had a headache with tires once again… I can’t figure out what to do. Should I sell both 16” and 17” sets and get new 18” inch rims for winter? Or, should I waste those 17” summer tires that aren’t quite done yet and recycle those rims for winter tires. I kinda like the 17 inch rims, but we’ll see.

Veeti is learning some computer skills.

Just a photo of my car.

Aargh... dem wheels is givin' me a headache.
