Crazy farmers up north

Anything but the other

Read the article in my local newspaper from back home
http://www.ranablad.no/nyheter/article2904667.ece
Farmers stopped the train to have a ceremony for their dead sheeps. How crazy can that be?? I thought it was their responsibility to guard their animals…

02.08.07: An update due to my mothers comment. Check out the article
http://www.helgeland-arbeiderblad.no/nyheter/article2799873.ece
There is something called “gjerdeplikt”. Bad article in Rana Blad, not referring to the reason for their ceremony…

We saw Robert Plant live!!

Anything but the other

Have totally forgotten to add a post in my blog – when in Split on vacation we got to see Robert Plant live at the harbor of Split. And would you guess what, he ended the concert with playing Whole Lotta Love, the old Led Zeppelin song…and it was like hearing the old Led Zeppelin records. It was a great moment in life, I’m really happy to have experienced, not Led Zeppelin, but at least Robert Plant singing Led Zeppelin, it is almost as being back in the seventies.

And then, I must admit that the Robert Plant stuff sounded quite good as well, I do believe I need to buy some Robert Plant solo albums as well…

I’ve updated my skin

Anything but the other

I’ve done a small tweak to my skin. Ok, I’ve removed the links to those people who actually made my skin and the blog and so forth, but then again, it is still there, but as a comment in the code. But, what I’ve done is to link to people I know and their blogs. For now I’ve linked to Kent, my friend from the university college, Roy (or Loy) who I’ve spent three weeks with in the same car back in 2003 and at last Marius whom I know from work. See at the bottom of the page…

31.07: I forgot Hans Petter, so now I have added a link to his blog as well

Towing an old truck at Vestreng

Anything but the other

Elins father, Anders, has bought a new combine harvester and since it is so big we needed to move the old spare part truck. It was a tricky project since the truck has no gear stick and … no breaks. The way to do it was to manually get in a gear, that is what he is doing on the first picture. By using the clutch we could get it to stop.

When out on the tarmac the truck started, to stop he had to drive it a bit out in the ditch. Due to the fact that the gear he had placed it in (it is very hard to know which gear you have without the stick) he was not able to get out of the ditch. So I had to push it up, then he steered down the road to the farm. Downhill it went…very fast…and the uphill, it stopped since he was not able to shift down. He had to back out on the field, therefore I had to tow him once again, hence the next picture.

On the road

At last, almost there. Now we only had to roll in to the garage…

Beers tried when at holiday

Anything but the other

Got to try a some new types of beer this summer, they where:

Platan – got this one from our landlady at Korcula, Paulina. It is a Czheck beer. It might be that Platan is the brewery and that the actual beer is Jedenact http://www.pivo-platan.cz/index.php

Sarajevska 0% – the only beer without alcohol. This due to the fact that we had a day trip to Bosnia, so when served at a Muslim restaurant we do not get alcohol. But, the beer was quite ok… http://www.sarajevska-pivara.ba/
