Escape from boredom

Had to pull over and take a picture of the odometer

(I want a new car)

Cleaning the drain pipes, no job to big, no job to small for this truck. Someone suggested that I could use the garden hose…I would beg to differ – the pressure washer on that truck…the noise alone from the drain when they started flushing proved that this was a serious tool way better than any garden hose.

Cleaning up the barn – 55 wheels (rims and tyres), some tyres, truck wheels, truck tyres and 3 tractor tyres.

Figured out Black Death was even more suitable than beer.

Had to delimb two windfall trees yesterday. Well aware of the dangers I must admit that I was not able to spot the danger. Luckily not to much tension in it, but it did “jump” about half a meter….and really fast. I did not want to cut the tree into small pieces so I could just drag the whole thing with the tractor

, but…next time better review some safety videos first.

But not all self proclaimed safety videos are really safe. This guy knows his way around working with the chain saw, but apart from that…he seems to have forgotten his protective clothing.

Got some small pieces of a steel wire stuck in my finger here the other day, so had to get help of the doctor to get it out. And to be on the safe side I also got a tetanus vaccine. Not painful, but two days after my arm is kinda sensitive, looks like a wasp sting.

Funeral beer (gravøl) for the snow. Hope to see you later this year or at least next winter.

In sharp contrast to my previous blog post showing the picture from the 17’th of February.

Took this picture last Monday. Something strange lightning up the courtyard.

And in the afternoon when heading home after work. Picking up the car at Fetsund, spring in February. Clear blue sky and sun

But note! 7 degrees, pretty warm and how it should be in February according to my standards.

Finally, kids asleep, on the tv – two programs about the convoys to Murmansk, down in the cellar to get a beer just to realize that I was not able at all to find the opener. Damn! But then, the leatherman tool to the rescue.
