You'll love the Gipfelsturms, since getting mine I haven't even used my Obies. They were for windy days only like yours, but I have just left them on. The Obies just feel slow in comparison.

Vitamix 3500... vitamix is a very good brand.. they are much better then most.. bullet, turbo this and that. a3500 has a bunch of extra buttons for preloaded recipes, probably not needed as I only use the smoothie one which is found on lower models as well. I might use the soup setting in winter. Does well in frozen fruit although I can still bog it down, but if I do bog it down... it will be too thick anyhow so more liquid is needed.
It has a bunch of bells and whistles that I have not used yet...or ever use but I got it on sale for the price of lower models so the white color was even reduced more so what the hell.

Thank you good sir - now as mod I must strongly encourage everyone to get back on to more orthodox bike purchasing bits... (ok, after the deviation that I asked for).
