Soapbox Building / Kite Flying / Hercules Drinking Game / Warcraft Questing and a Roast Dinner to finish it all off!

Well the week that has just past was full of interesting things but i will be high lighting the couple of things that have stood out! 

Firstly for a work 2 day team building and conference, we headed up to Daventry (about an hour and 15 from home) the first half of the first day was very informative, the second part of the first day was an activity session, which involved building a Soapbox racer. 

We got given a shell and 4 wheels and told to build the rest, couple of mandatory items like side skirts, rear spoiler and front nose cone. Once built each team raced, to try and win a place in the final. 

For a team building activity this was a very good one! 

Moving quickly on to Saturday with Pat, we had planned to purchase remote control planes as the next fad, this changed after we actually thought about it, we would break them too quickly!

So we moved onto Kites, this seemed more practical! 

We headed to the Kite shop in town, purchased a 2.2m wing span "power kite" each. Due to being last years model (with the shop owner saying it was the packaging that had changed) the price was very competitive £35 each! bargain! 

We head over to the windiest filed near Pat's house, after a good 15mins of setting up the kites, connecting all the strings and lines, we went for the first flight! Oh boy kites are fun! We must have spent a good couple of windy hours in the field whizzing the kites left and right. 

Dont get me wrong, the amount of time the kite was in the air was equal to the amount of time spent untangling the lines once it came soaring down to the ground!

Overall the kites were great fun and looking forward to attaching a Go Pro to them and sending them up again! 

Saturday evening we headed to Panda's house, and decided to play the "Hercules Drinking Game", which is essence, is get drunk while watching the disney classic, Hercules. Now the rules are pretty simple, whenever X happens....DRINK! So whenever a song starts (which is disney is pretty often!), whenever he is called Jerk-ules and a handful of other rules - Great game! Makes me want to get the Disney box set, 2 crates of beer and off we go! 

Now onto Sunday, this was a very nice and relaxed Sunday,  we had one of Elisa's friends round for lunch so we decided to cook a roast dinner, i say we decided, which we did, but Elisa cooked. This in turn left me nothing to expect jump onto Warcraft to finally try and finish off the legendary Cloak Quest line. 

I have finally done it! for a second time! (both Paladin and now Mage). 

Dont get me wrong it wont take 5 mins to replace the items when WoD is released, but feel i have achieved something by doing it. 

Overall another great weekend, ready for a busy week at work! 

Side note - I have now sold the Bitcoin Mining Rig on ebay! so now just trading on the markets with the coins i mined! 

Until next time! 

Peace! 

Bitcoin, Warcraft and Fantasy Football!

Hey All! 

Well its been a while since the mining build was completed (link HERE if you missed it) , then some months now since its been off. This is due to the mining difficultly as increased so much that the amount the rig would mine in a day outweighs the cost of electric for having it on. With that in mind, there has been more news about BTC becoming more mainstream with PayPal now embracing Bitcoins.

I have been lately playing on the Exchanges with some of the digital currency i have acquired. Will report back about that soon! 

 Warcraft now, last Saturday managed to clear the whole of the Flex raid bringing my item level up to 541 on my Frost Mage, sadly this week i have completed all the raids i can get into with also valor capping. As its Tuesday i will try and get into a Garrosh Normal as a last resort, otherwise will hop onto my Paladin and complete some randoms. 

Now the last part, fantasy football, I think I  have mentioned this before in the blog? If not ( there is one every year at work one free and one £5 entry fee, this year i joined the paid one, knowing a small amount of "football" related news)

So far for "The Excellers" its been a bouce start, 38th > 11th > 28th so fingers crossed we do a little better this week. I have made some changes to the team members and line, fingers crossed. 

I will add one note to this, tonight is an 11million lottery roll over, someone has to win it? so will pop online and grab 2 lucky dips!!! 

Peace!

The Power Social Media

Just want to point out the power of social media!

While watching the Common Wealth Games, seeing Usain Bolt run, after the race Bolt had pictures taken with members of the audience.

So with this decided to check Instagram.for the tags "Bolt" and "CommonWealth" within minuets one of the close up selfie pictures of Bolt is online for me to view, how things of changed to when we used to only see those types of photo's in the newspaper!

Side note, The mens 10m diving, now that's some crazy stuff! Wheres the splash??
