A room with a view

As long as your name is not Mrs. Richards and you insist on having a room with a (sea-)view I would recommend booking room 1920 at Villa Norangdal, the very same room we had last week. From that room you will wake up to a beautiful view of the narrow valley Norangsdalen.

And if you are not familiar with the name Mrs. Richards, spend 2 minutes watching this clip from Fawlty Towers [video:youtube:tcliR8kAbzc]

Being a handyman

One of the stones on our stair came loose so I have to fix it. First removing the old mortar before applying new one. Having the proper equipment made that job easy.

Plan was to fix it at once, but off course at one spot the heating cable had been a bit misplaced – so I did cut it. So now waiting for the electrician to help me out fixing it before I can apply new mortar and once again fasten the stone.

Test drive: BMW 800 GS Adventure

Got to ride the BMW 800 GS Adventure here the other day, and what a comfortable ride. Would I want one? Maybe, might be a bit to big for my commuting needs, and I would guess my adventure needs so small that it won’t be worth spending all that money on this bike. In the video below he wraps up that you do not need to pay a lot of money to get a bike that is heavy and good on the high way. But, on the other hand, why let common sense decide?

Here’s a video of the bike[video:youtube:L8Gi-FVTXN4]

No heat in our Ford Mondeo

Yesterday when driving our car for work I did notice that there was no heat. Fearing that I had spend a lot of money I luckily spent one minute on Google before spending any money. Found a post at http://www.norwegianmondeoclub.com… providing me with the solution.

On the AC

  1. Quickly press “Footwell” and “Off” at the same time
  2. Immediately afterwards (without any delay) quickly press “Auto”
  3. The climate control self test then starts

Had to do it a few times, but suddenly the heat started working again.

Krepserittet 2014

On the 15’th of June me and Espen participated in Krepserittet . Nice weather and a lot of single track made this a very fun competition. Also we get lunch when finished. Espen enjoying the lunch, he had a good day on the bike.

My day was bad, I have had a cold for about a week upfront, so I should really just stayed at home, but I did not. Anyhow, I got to finish the two rounds and as a bonus I got to work on my bikers tan.
