I’m in need of a JCB Fastrack

Yesterday, got overtaken by another tractor. Need to win in the lottery and buy a JCB Fasttrack to keep up with the speed of these modern tractors. I actually thought I had to slow down when he did try to overtake me, but no – I did not need to, he passed me in just a few seconds… doh!!

Fetsund timber booms

Yesterday me and the boys went to Fetsund timber booms where we spent a couple of hours together with Kent. Nice weather and a lot of people. The two oldest ones did not want to go, they said it would be boring…did not hear them complain at all when there. Just remember to borrow a life jacket when out on the floating paths, we did not and it made me a bit stressed when carrying the youngest one and watching the two others.

Concert last Saturday

At Tellfortell 2017 Elin and the rest of Åkerland had their concert on Friday. I had to stay home together with the kids, but on Saturday Elin wanted to listen to Grenseland. So we all went, the kids also. They did enjoy one or two songs before getting a bit bored and then started walking around forcing me to follow them as well. So did not get to sit down and listen to the band to much, but at least Elin had a good time. Me and the boys also had fun, but not while listening to the music…

A lot of rain, but then it stopped and the sun did show. Times like these I should have had the Canon camera and not only the iPhone…

Foundation for the portable saw

I have started preparing the foundation for the portable saw, one of the projects I want to finish off this year. It is all about having the proper tools available, here two tractors and the backhoe loader (funfact: It is the same age as me)

Crushed rocks, then styrofam and then premade pillars.

Pillars adjusted and even more rocks filled in the hole. Next is to remove the soil which is not needed. And then I need to get help to figure out why there is a ground fault in the electrical cable. Then fix some issues on the saw and then I can start using it.
