Price: 299 USD

I tried them out last season as a demo and they were pretty good on the hills. I’m rather excited for skiing season to start up and try out these. I finally have a complete ski set!

Guess I’ll have to go out and recreate it. For now I’ll keep the default theme.

Good News: Annual performance review has finished. I was able to gain another promotion. This time, the promotion came with a title change. I am now a Software Development Engineer II. I still find it amazing that I was able to get two promotions in one year. Now that I’m in the next band, I think it’s going to get a lot harder to exceed expectations. I’ll put on a brave face and try my best to reach the top of this level too.

Now I need to find a backup and restore it. :(

Total mileage: 732 miles (1178 kilometers)

It was one long drive but the trip was certainly worth it. I’m going to bed – will post something about this later on this week.

I am glad to be here today. Over the course of a year, I have experienced a whole different lifestyle here on the west cost. I offer 12 pictures to highlight the fun things that happened over the course of the year:

I’m looking forward to even more exciting adventures.
