Big Brother 11

Well Big Brother 11 started last night (July 9, 2009).  This year the twist is the people are broken up into four high school “cliques”.  If your group wins the HoH know one from you group can get voted out.  I think this is a cool idea.  Might make for some crazy fights.  Never really got into to the show until a few years back.  Now I like it.  It’s some thing to watch during the summer when not much new is on.

Yamaha XT225 Wash And Wax

I decide to wash and wax my 2006 Yamaha XT225.  Well didn’t turn out good as I wanted but how well.  The soap I used wasn’t very good, it was some old car soap my father had.  I will have to buy some better soap and clean utensils.  Found it hard to get into the small spots with the rag i was using.  Any who here are some pictures.

Golf Driving Range

Three of us went to the driving range today.  It has been awhile since I have been to the driving range.  A bucket of balls was only $5.50.  Which is not too bad.  We went two rounds.  By the end I was hitting the balls some what straight.  The range is good fun because you don’t have to pick up the balls afterwards.

PS3 Freezing

My PS3 has decided to start freezing now.   The odd game would freeze.  That was know big deal.  Ever since I watched a Blu-ray movie and it froze my PS3 has not been the same since.  I let if sit for a day or so and put a game in and it work for awhile, then it froze.   I went out and bought one of compressed air cans hoping that would fix it.  That didn’t work.  So I did some internet searching and came across a video on YouTube that might help.  Going to give that a go.  If that works or doesn’t I’ll make and other post.

Reservoir Dogs Blu-ray Review

I found the Blu-ray copy of Reservoir Dogs the other day for $10.  So I had to pick it up.  This is my second Blu-ray disc.  I have to say I have never seen Reservoir Dogs.  I know about the movie just never had a change to see it.  The picture quality is a huge jump over DVD.  Not sure if I’ll make the jump over to all Blu-ray disc since DVD’s are cheaper and easier to find.  Any who back to the movie.  It is an awesome movie.  You can tell it’s a Quentin Tarantino movie with out even looking at the box.  This move is pretty old now.  So most of you have seen the movie unless you are me.  So if you are like me and have not seen it go check it out.

The Blu-ray image quality is awesome and so is the movie.

Tennis July 5, 2009

Had another tennis game today, (July 5, 2009).  Five us played.  Once we got going we had a few good rallies but most of the we would just miss the shot or screw it up some how.  But any who we still had fun.  Here are some pictures.

Golfing July 3, 2009

Five of us went golfing July 3, 2009.  We had a good time.  It had been around three years since I played.  Two the guys had never played.  So we were pretty much in the same boat.  We played at Juniper Hallow Golf.  It is a 9 hole public course.  Most of the holes have at lest one water trap.   One hole has four right in a row.  That one was pretty crazy.  I think I lost around five balls all together.  Cant wait to try it again.

More OCC Chopper Pictures

I found some more pictures of the OCC Chopper made for The Northside Hospital Foundation.  Which win be won at the end of the Cape Breton Bikefest: Thunder in the Highlands.  Found them on Scott McIntyre’s blog.  He is a photographer you can find more info about him and his work here.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Review

Well Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is not very good.  I was thinking this movie would be just some mindless fun.  There are some fun, cool action and funny bits but it was just way too long.  It drags in spots.  I think it would have been better if they trimmed it down and add more action.  The action that was in there was cool lots of explosions.  The robot fights were better this time around because they didn’t hide all the fights in darkness.  Some of the scenes seemed to be out of place.  One minute the sun was out, they cut to a different scene and when the cut back it would be the middle of the night.  My other grip is non of the actors seem to get hurt.  They are run, getting shot at and blown up.  They stay nice and clean.  They this happens pretty much in any action movie.

Nothing special.  May be give it a rent when it comes out on DVD.  Only if you are bored.

By Any Means 2 Update

Well By Any Means 2 now has it’s own website now.  Not much on it.  A few pictures and what the tip is all about.  Did some searching around and got some more info.  I like I posted before was Charley Boorman’s Twitter page.  He all so has a TwitPic page as well.   This time around Claudio von Planta is back.  He has a Twitter and and a TwitPic pages as well.  No Idea when the show will go to air since it is still being filmed.  But my best guess will be some time in the fall.
