I’ve updated my skin

I’ve done a small tweak to my skin. Ok, I’ve removed the links to those people who actually made my skin and the blog and so forth, but then again, it is still there, but as a comment in the code. But, what I’ve done is to link to people I know and their blogs. For now I’ve linked to Kent, my friend from the university college, Roy (or Loy) who I’ve spent three weeks with in the same car back in 2003 and at last Marius whom I know from work. See at the bottom of the page…

31.07: I forgot Hans Petter, so now I have added a link to his blog as well

Towing an old truck at Vestreng

Elins father, Anders, has bought a new combine harvester and since it is so big we needed to move the old spare part truck. It was a tricky project since the truck has no gear stick and … no breaks. The way to do it was to manually get in a gear, that is what he is doing on the first picture. By using the clutch we could get it to stop.

When out on the tarmac the truck started, to stop he had to drive it a bit out in the ditch. Due to the fact that the gear he had placed it in (it is very hard to know which gear you have without the stick) he was not able to get out of the ditch. So I had to push it up, then he steered down the road to the farm. Downhill it went…very fast…and the uphill, it stopped since he was not able to shift down. He had to back out on the field, therefore I had to tow him once again, hence the next picture.

On the road

At last, almost there. Now we only had to roll in to the garage…
