i had a lexus rx 400h and it was the best car i've had so fax, i've owned a pathfinder lx, QX4, jeep cherokee, and bmw all suvs and the lexus is head and shoulders better than all of themride is amazing, power is very instant, head lights are super if you drive lots a night and on roads without street lights, never a problem as long as i owned it, would highly suggest the lexusonly down side i found was that it does need actual snow tires and not all seasons if you drive in the snow a lot

made spicy tuna rolls, inari sushi, salmon rolls in yuba, chicken karage, tempura, yum yum

i'm making sushi tomorrow with the kidlets, will post up some pics after

wow a sushi thread? really?i'm gonna kill this one, i eat sushi probably every other day, albacore toro is my fave, followed by tai, inari and tojo's lobster rolls, but its all good

Pahlmeyer Merlot 2007...fantastic, nice fruit with a good mineral balance and great finishMerryvale Profile 1999, silky and velvety, great value still

had a couple nice wines last nightpatz and hall mount veeder chardonnay, very good depth with nice fruit and balanced oak undertonesDeLille Cellers Doyenne Syrah, very nice, velvety and rich a really excellent wine, hints of chocolate

http://araxi.com/yeah watched the game on sunday with my daughter and then just lazed about the house, yesterday i did pretty much nothing but clean up and lay about, took about 12 naps, feel good today after a good nights sleep

i work at araxi at night, but during the olympics we were open for lunch too which meant a bunch of 10 am to 2 or 3 am shifts

thanks brother, it really is a great place to livei'm hella out of shape after the olympics, 14-16 hour work days, crappy carby food, redbull and boozy nights with no sleep, not even anything resembling excercise in there, gonna have to get to it tomorrow

i flip flip every year between climbing and biking, this year i will try and climb moremy jiu jitsu has kept me in pretty decent shape for climbing as i could flash 5.10c this summer even though i didn't do anything at all last yearremember, most of climbing is with your legs, hands just keep you on the wall at my best i could climb 5.12a, hope to get back to that this yeari'll post up some pics of the other places we go to this year

i made it through 4:05 then i had to stop for a "rest"

its a good habit to have, you get a great strength/weight ratio and something about your body knowing you are pulling its own weight up a rock seems to lean you up i findi've been climbing in the himilayas, trust me, if you have height issues you will not be going there

start indoor, i didn't even think about heights indoor, it gets a lot more real once you get outside, but inside its pretty mellowplus most places you can just boulder and not even worry too much about the heights and gear if you just want to get a good workout

climbed for years, taught for a bunch, blend of indoor and out, mostly sportgood cross train for jiu jitsu i find

good luck dude
