Escape from boredom

I did hitch a ride with Torgrim last Wednesday home from work, this is the view we had when passing by Råmyra

My old pair of running shoes, the Mizuno Wave Hayate 2. According to this review http://runnerclick.com/mizuno-wave-hayate-2-review/ it has oustanding traction, but I disagree. A bit moist conditions and I do not trust the shoes at all, the conditions needs to be all dry and not a single rock or tree root for me to trust them. And the shoe sole has started to loosen from the shoe on one of them after what I consider pretty lightweight usage. So, no more Mizuno for me.

So yesterday I passed by the Sport1 outlet next to Oslo City and found two new pair of shoes which I do expect will perform way better. The Inov8 Artic Claw 300 – which is actually a winter running shoe with 16 spikes, but I will use them as terrain shoes in summer time as well. I expect them to have very good grip at all times, even in very wet conditions on rocks and tree roots. The other one, Asics Fuji Runnegade 2, does not have spikes but I also expect the grip to be way better than the Mizunos. Both shoes 700,- pr. pair, so a very good price as well.

So now I cannot complain about the shoes when in Sweden in 30 days – all ready for Icebug Challenge.

No side windows, plastic fantastic, but not using waterproofed tape – risky

Seems like the car would be washed pretty well both on the outside and the inside

And off course a disclaimer: I was passing by on the bus, not able to help 🙂

Out running two days ago, found a cloudberry – not much, but it is a start, tasted good at least

Today I did for the first time the “Sootkanalmarsjen” (Soot channel march) together with number #1 and #2, click here to see the GPS tracking at Sportstracker. First of all, the diploma earned – and to make things perfectly clear, not my 28’th time, but the 28’th year the march is arranged.

The kids looking at one of the sluices, I do believe it is sluice #14 Dines Soot

Time for a break, which they had deserved.

Things to look at

And the grand finale, a swim in Setten.

Walking by the Mondeo just to discover the rear wheel tire almost completely flat. Good thing that I have ordered four new tyres for Thursday. Hopefully I can refill it and it will last until I have driven the car to the service station.

Finally did the last touch of my styrofoam project, ensuring warm feets when having “Nye Qodlibet” or when Åkerland have their band rehearsal. Styrofoam has now been glued to the ceiling in the cellar of the old outbuilding.

This year as well, the war against blacklisted lupins, getting ready

And done, burn, burn, burn!

Couple of days ago, out riding my bike I suddenly saw this cloud of dust. It was impossible to see what made the cloud

But the noise did explain it, and a bit closer – a wheel loader with a road brush.

To: Tuesday. Return: Wednesday. The view

Back home, bought this magazine, would have spent the money better if I had put fire to them.
