Cannot stand on the rooftop of my tractor
There are many ways to remove rust from metal, here are four of them using stuff from your kitchen. I will not be using any of them when removing rust from the roof of my tractor. Anyways, with the help from my neighbor the roof was lifted of earlier today. So now I have a Valmet 865s cabriolet…
Digging a ditch behind the barn
Picture taken last Wednesday. The guys who leases our field is doing maintenance, they had to fix a leak in the field drainage. While doing that they made a ditch for us behind the barn as well.
Swans on the field
We have had visitors on our field the past few weeks, several swans have landed there and spent the day.
Milestone in the lifetime of my car
Had to pull over and take a picture of the odometer

My latest book – Hel ved by Lars Mytting
Lars Myttings non-fiction book Hel ved («Solid wood») is one of the greatest publishing successes in Scandinavia ever. It is a «practical-lyrical» guide on the use and lore of firewood, based on Norwegian traditions and our modern science on stoves and renewable energy.
I did try today to make fire from the top as described in the book and I broke the record of getting the fireplace hot as h$#.
Things to do on a Thursday
Cleaning the drain pipes, no job to big, no job to small for this truck. Someone suggested that I could use the garden hose…I would beg to differ – the pressure washer on that truck…the noise alone from the drain when they started flushing proved that this was a serious tool way better than any garden hose.
The Mini Bottle Gallery
Yesterday at a work seminar held at the Mini Bottle Gallery. Interesting topics, and also fun afterwards to spend some time wandering around in the gallery.
The brothel theme room. As we where told, Nevada being the only state in the U.S where brothels are allowed, each place having its own mini bottle (seems to be a fact http://www.figuralminibottles.net/dug%20nevada/dug%20nevada.shtml)
And then the farmer theme, a John Deere and an International
Recycling old tyres
Cleaning up the barn – 55 wheels (rims and tyres), some tyres, truck wheels, truck tyres and 3 tractor tyres.
Using grep to match lines not containing a word
My case was: Match all lines with key purgepolicy, but not containing the word Entirepool
purgePolicy=EntirePool
purgePolicy=FailingConnectionOnly
First I tried to use the ! operator in the regex, but that only causes the error
bash: !": event not found
Solution was to first find all lines with purgepolicy then pipe the result and exclude all results with EntirePool
grep "purgePolicy=" myfile.props | grep -v "EntirePool"
Solution found at http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/10/grep-or-and-not-operators/
