Escape from boredom

Tine has lost some property

Got my Otterbox Defender Case here the other day. Superb protection for my phone, makes it waaaay more shock resistant, and also makes it water resistant. Note – not waterproof, just water resistant, but it cover my needs. I have a waterproof bag for moments when the going gets really tough (Birkebeinerrittet last year for instance).

I have access to all features of the phone without problems, loving it!

Yesterday I had planned to change to summer tyres, but did not find the time, but Lars Tormod did. Woke up this morning as saw this out of the kitchen window. Must admit this is one day I’m quite happy I was lazy the day before. Guess Volvo-driving is not the best thing to do today 🙂

Found a video on Youtube showing why not to use summer tyres on snow

Just realized that my blog has been up and running now for ten years! Pretty hardcore or what?? March 2003 is until now my most active month, back then I posted 62 posts in a month, all in Norwegian then.

If summer comes in a hurry, one of my neighbors are well prepared if the lawn should grow to fast to soon. He has left the lawn mover out on the lawn the whole winter. Me and Anders was out this morning when I spotted it. Not to be all to pessimistic, but I would be surprised if it starts on the first try.

At home this evening, late dinner, one can of beer in the refrigerator – could not resist it. Sat down on the couch and grabbed the can, pulling the opener with my index finger when suddenly…it just bent, so the box did not open. A state of emergency was immediately issued at home. I rushed out to the kitchen to safer ground, looking for tools to help me out, when I decided to try to use my thumb….and yes!! The can was open, state of emergency was lifted, order was restored and we could enjoy our wolffish filet

This weekend I saw the episode of the tv show Spekter. The episode was about ugly architecture

Spekter – Spekter: Det stygge Norge – Norske byer og tettsteder er sjelden vakre. Spekter ser på om det er næringsinteresser, sløve politikere eller et folk uten estetisk sans som gjør at stedene vi bor på er så stygge. Hvem bestemmer hva som er stygt eller pent?
Spekter: Det stygge Norge

Norske byer og tettsteder er sjelden vakre. Spekter ser på om det er næringsinteresser, sløve politikere eller et folk uten estetisk sans som gjør at stedene vi bor på er så stygge. Hvem bestemmer hva som er stygt eller pent?

(Google translate)

With that in mind I took these three pictures when passing over the bridge across E18 at Bjørvika. If good architecture makes you happy, I must admit that biking here each day does not make me happy in a degree that I myself notie…

And then off to something else, if you’re in the need of a ski, you will find one at Hjortnes, alongside E18. I guess someone driving by in a car earlier this winter now have just one Fischer ski.

Got this url from my colleague Leslaw. A guy working as a truck driver in the US, broadcasting his location and also the forward view as well as from inside the cabin. If just dull stuff on tv, spend some hours driving on the Americans highways http://www.oczamikierowcy.com/?page_id=20

See the pants, who would believe that a guy with such pants have a shotgun…

Picture from earlier today, the top issue at http://www.dagbladet.no, Vidar Riseth telling about the “mysterious” event when someone had something “mysterious” in his beer…alongside with a banner for “mysterious.no” http://www.mystisk.no…coincidence…you decide… (now hearing music from The Twilight Zone )
