Escape from boredom

Just had to take a picture of the sign for the Kunstklitgården, KUK… grown up Norwegian humor

Good thing that we did not go there in the high sesason, that’s for sure.

Legoland, a lot of fun for the kids, but also some fun for the parents as well. I must admit that the “Ice Pilot School”, the robocoaster ride was a lot of fun!! I did actually make as much noice as the guy in the video below, it was that much fun!

Should be ok to say “Oh shit!” when you get a puncture on the manure wagon

After a long and dry period – it finally rained – and now started to dry up again.

Just recently bought a new pair of running shoes, the Hoka Speedgoat 2. Had a short run with them today, felt good, but hoping for rain so I can try them out on slippery conditions as well. On the short run today they felt very good, stable and all that. No need for me to dive into more details, if you would like that, just read this review . What actually worries me the most is the design, they could be mistaken for the shoes mother-in-law used some years ago, the MBT (masai) shoes, but the Hoka shoes is not like this…

I did also buy the Osprey Duro 15 running pack. It is quite large, which allows me to bring clothing for those long runs where the weather can change. In addtion plenty of room for food, cell phone and such along with 3 hydration packs with a total of 3.5 litres. Should be what I need for Hornindal.

Here made ready for the first test tomorrow morning.

Helping out Torgrim last weekend, they are about to expand their house, so we needed to get rid of all the soil. So I borrowed a John Deere 6820, hard workding tractor. I got a bit bored after 10-11 trips, but not due to the tractor.

On the 14’th to 15’th of May I went to U.K and IBM Hursley for the IBM European Hursley Summit 2018. Work related, very useful – IBM Hursley is where you get most of your (work related) questions answered and the Hursley House is interesting as well for those interested in history, both IBM history and history as such. It even has it similarties to Downton Abbey for those who fancy such.

Since IBM has been present at Hursley for 60 years they have even cut the lawn showing the number 60 on it.

View from the window, classical 18th-century Queen Anne style.

From the museum.

Cake, celebrating 60 years.

Our rental car outside of Hursley House.

And we also had a bit of fun driving the rental car.

Last year I did replace the rubber gaskets for on the backhoe, then realized that the sylinder on one of the stabilizers had to be fixed. Got help from a friend who knows how to do such, the result was prima!

Mounted and ready for work

…but must admit that I already have realized that I need to replace the rubber gaskets on the other stabilizer as well.

Highly needed, had to unmount the roof of our greenhouse, remove a lot of dirt and reapply the rubber gaskets

Did some garden tending last week behind the barn

On the 26’th of April

And then today, a bit more water…
