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.
Yesteday spining to Foo Fighters and their album Wasting Light, good one!
On Sunday I finally got help to carry my spinning bike in from the barn and down to the basement. So once again, I could do a “spinning to” (I could have done it outside in the barn as well, but I prefer being inside when doing indoor training…). So this time spinning to Brant Bjork and the Low Desert Punk Band and the album Black Power Flower. As much as I like desert rock, it is a bit hard to keep up the pace on my spinning bike for the length of the whole album while listening to kinda slow music (but still heavy), so I did actually finish it all up with some Hatebreed.
On Saturday, while rowing, listening to the album Ride by Motor Sister. Kinda made me remember back in the days when listening to Gary Moore, it was somewhat to much blues to me which again made it hard to keep up the pace, had to switch to some random play list afterwards with more fast music

At the start of January I bought a used rowing machine, the Infinity R100. Last Friday I spent time on it listening to the album from Hjerteslag – “Møhlenpris Motell”. Good one
What better things to do early on a Saturday morning than convert some rust found on the backside of our washing machine. First a bit of sanding, then sacrificing my tooth brush on the Biltema Rust Converter altar. Yet another every day problem conquered – one that I would prefer really not to care about, but…had to.
