Just do it!

Found this amazing clip when browsing Youtube – the Norwegian cross country national team back in 1961 preparing for the next season. First logging, then training, and to finish the day coffee and cards…

Drinking on kid’s tv show?

Anders was watching a cartoon on the morning tv show, when I realized that there was a hidden message trying to promote alcohol (could not possibly be something else)…an owl sitting with a green bottle, definitely beer or wine…scary, someone please notify Nyhetsspeilet

Me and Iver

My second son was born yesterday, named Iver. Everything according to plan, healthy and hungry…

Iver er en variant av mannsnavnet Ivar som har opprinnelse i det norreøne navnet Ívarr, dannet av det norrøne ordene ýr, «barlind», og harjaR, «kriger». Wikipedia

Russ – I’m getting old

I’ve marked the map where I live and where the Russ have their party right now at Tryvann. By car that is 22 km, but still I have no problems hearing the music they are playing. And if I go out to the balcony I am able to hear what song it is. The reason for this is that they are using the same equipment as they use on the orange stage at Roskilde. They might do whatever they want to, but when it annoys me, 20 kilometers away from them…it pisses me of and makes me realize that I’m a married man, with two kids and a station wagon…getting old that is…but, I do not hesitate to admit it…

Ships at the harbor today

On my way to work today I had to stop and take a picture of KNM «Fridtjof Nansen» and KNM «Helge Ingstad» down at the harbor.

There was also another ship just outside Aker Brygge. Had some trouble reading the name of the ship on the picture, so I had to do some investigation to figure it out. So, checking the Oslo Port Authority website. I managed to miss “todays calls” at once, so I found http://marinetraffic.com/ais Quite similar to http://www.flightradar24.com/. Marinetraffic showing vessel positions, you can view all types of vessels, from small fishing boats to big cargo vessels. Could not find the vessel, but back to Oslo Port Authority I found “todays calls” and there the name of the ship “Songa Winds“.

Bilia at Fornebu – that little extra

Had my car at Bilia at Fornebu yesterday for the 60.000 service. Everything according to our agreement, the service and some stuff I extra I had asked for, such as air conditioning anti-bacterial cleaning. They gave me a good explanation of what was done, I did pay (off course, it should have been a lot cheaper 🙂 ) and went out to find my car.

I had planned to wash it before leaving it there, but I did not get the time, but not to worry. Here is how my car looked when I found it at the parking lot…all nice and clean! They had washed it…that little extra!
