About 35 years ago me and my friends enjoyed playing around with water from snow melting during the spring, shoveling sand and such. Two days ago I did the same as back then, only difference is that the tooling has changed. Had to clean the walkway after all the timber has been picked up. In addition I had to lead away the water which made the road to the old barn all soaky and wet, creating small ditches.
Using the spinning bikes at work here the other day, all alone so I used the instructor bike so I could control the music as well. There I noticed the royal view from the bike – I could see the royal castle from there.
To my right I could also spot the employees working across the central station doing some stretching outside on the roof.
Last weekend it was time to prepare the motorcycle for a new season. Charged the battery and mounted it, engine started at first try, all as it should be.
First ride on Tuesday to work. All fine until I was about to park the bike when I noticed that the battery indicator was flashing. Stopped it and tried to start it again, but no, not enough power on the battery. What to do now? Bought a charger at Claes Ohlson and charged it during the day. I also realized that I had forgotten to connect the ground wire, could that be the cause? After work when heading home I mounted the battery and hoped for the best. Pressed the start button and …. click … dead, no electricity. What could I have done wrong, could it be that the blue wire was not the ground wire (“Husqvarna TE610 not charging”). But in my frustration I came to touch the positive wire and suddenly the display light up. So, disconnected it and connected it again, mounted the seat and tried to start – YES! Drove home, same thing happened after a while, no power on the battery, but at least I could drive home (just hoping I had enough petrol).
At home I recharged the battery, but before doing that I found some sandpaper and used it on both the poles and the wires. The day after when mounting the battery I also used a good amount of WD-40, fired up the engine and from that day no problem.
The third book in the series about Halvor Skramstad “Skogsmatrosen” and his work as a WW2 sailor in the Norwegian mercenary fleet. Have spent quite a long time finishing it, but not because I did not like the book, have simply had to little time reading the past few months. Anyhow, good one, and the good news is that Michelet has promised to write two more books about Halvor. Looking forward to them as well!
Yesterday rowing while listening to Scott Weiland and The Wildabouts and their album Blaster. Was actually not aware of it when picking the album, but I have listened to him a lot before when he was part of Stone Temple Pilots. Anyhow, Blaster, quite enjoyable, but not really work out music. Not really sure if I will listen to the album several times, but I won’t turn off the music if it comes on the radio.
…The Sonics are an American garage rock band from Tacoma, Washington, originating in the early 1960s.[1] Among the Sonics’ contemporaries were the Kingsmen, the Wailers, the Dynamics, the Regents, and Paul Revere & the Raiders. Their aggressive, hard-edged sound has been a major influence on punk, garage, and hard rock music worldwide, and they’ve been named as inspirations by Nirvana, Bruce Springsteen, The Fall, and other major artists….

“This is the Sonics” was released just now, and was quite enjoyable, might listen to the album several times when working out.
Three days ago, spinning to Teenage Bottlerocket. In the car I won’t listen to them again, but I might actually listen to the album several times when working out. Enjoyed all but last song which was a ballad which is not enjoyable when I want to work out.
Finished trimming the spruce hedge this year. Had not done it last year so it was a pretty hard job this time, takes a couple of hours. It is starting to get as high as it can be allowed to, so I need to cut the top of it pretty hard each year now.
Iver said that he could see the whole world from the top of the ladder.

Had to replace the headlight bulb on my Mondeo, which is quite easy and one of the things that the engineers at Ford actually has planned very well. The most difficult part is actually to remove the grill, not because that itself is difficult, but I’m always afraid that I will damage it. But, it is just to be firm when pulling it off, and then it is removed within two seconds. The whole operation is done in less than 3-4 minutes.
