Long Time No See

Wow, it's been two and a half months since I've updated this thing hasn't it? Life has been pretty good lately. The new job is going well. I like the work infinitely more than my last job and I can afford to pay my bills. I don't get free time to ski during the week, but I guess you have to make sacrifices. It's pretty sweet when your biggest sacrifice is not being able to ski a few hours during the week.

Moving on... I have been wanting a new shell to wear for skiing and other inclimate outdoor adventures. After MUCH research I settled on 3 different jackets that I liked. Tried 2 of them on and decided one of them wasn't the right one. The third still intrigued me and I thought it would be the best match. Searched online for more details and found it on sale for 29% off. Perfect color and size for me. These jackets rarely go on sale so I started the check out process. It asked if I had a coupon code. "Why not search for one," I thought. And BAM... I found a code for an additional 15% off! So now I pretty much HAD to buy it. After all was said and done I got it for 40% off retail. My new Arc'Teryx Theta SV jacket:



It was still stupid expensive, so I am going to try to sell some stuff on eBay. I have way too much unused stuff anyway. Surely somebody could get some use out of it... for a reasonable price.
