Escape from boredom

Garden tending / Wife control

Had some time alone yesterday evening and did spend a couple of hours at Aursmoen. First doing “hike orienteering” – turorientering and afterwards, while anyhow at Aursmoen – I did Stoplejakta as well. Not that much to report, but I did get to see Margaretakilden. Tried to read the information sign, but that was close to impossible, need some TLC for sure

And even if Margaretakilden is a water source, I did not dare drink from it…

#1 was playing soccer today at Ørje “G-Sport Cup Ørje 2017”, and I had to kill some time, so I went for a short run. I found “Fortrunden”.

At Hestehaugen, a viewpoint over Ørje. A small tower has been built there as well, climb up and see….Marker municipality which has 84% forest, so you see a lot of forest.

Søndre Blokkhus, a fortified firing position south of the Nordre Fort (The North Fortress)

View north, E18 towards Mysen and Rødnessjøen.

Yesterday we all went to Hemnes and watched the play “Dyrene i Hakkebakkeskogen” played outdoor. The kids really enjoyed it, despite the rain. Good thing we had plenty of clothes, whool on the inside and raincoat on the outside.

If you have paid access to Indre.no, you can find pictures here.

And there is still a chance to see the play next weekend.

Preparing for making the concrete floor, having to dig out the gravel first. Everyone, including my sister-in-law did their share of work.

It has happened before, 7 years ago on the 4’th of May I was not able to drive due to snow, but this year on the 11’th of May, so 2017 beats 2010. #3 said to me “Dad, the trampoline is not broken, it just isn’t working today!!”.

And yes, it makes sense when the police warns you about driving with summer tyres, it might actually be slippery

Yesterday it was children’s day at Eksismoa http://www.nmkah.no/ Lovely day, really nice weather and a lot of children waiting in line wanting to try out motorcycles and ATV’s.

Weather forcast said rain today so yesterday I mowed the lawn for the first time this year. Not so much for the grass being to long, but I did not mowe it last autumn so it was pretty much dead grass from last year I needed to get rid of. Easiest was then to mowe it. Then it was much easier to rake the lawn. Did also get some help when doing that.

After having been away for more than a week our cat suddenly came home again. She ate a lot and when done she was totally relaxed.

Two days ago, Bysprinten Mosjøen 2017, for the 11’th time with my mother in the arrangement committee each year it was finally time for me to actually be there. Had a great time, nice weather all the time made it a superb event.

The start of the prologue

The race

Øystein “Pølsa” Pettersen and Nils Ingar “Nilsie” Aadne realized that they had no chance winning, so in the final they headed right to the hot tub.
