…and I somehow did not feel for commuting with my motorcycle today. I do think it was the last day, will see next week, but almost freezing point and rain…don´t think so.
Snow is in the air

One match was all I needed
Grand opening at Løken
Yesterday me and Iver went to Løken for the grand opening of the new bus stop, miljøgata (whatever that is in English) and the walkway. My son Iver learned about budgets and HSE, he found it really interesting (me to…). But then he got cake and orange juice, so he was happy.
Spending the night at Grøndalen Søndre Gård
Last weekend we where invited to the wedding of Hjørdis and Svein Magnar. The ceremony took place at Trysil Kirke before we headed up to Grøndalen Søndre Gård
where we got to eat a lot of good food, local beverages (Trysil Aquavit and Trysil Pilsner)
Really enjoyable, we had a lot of fun – a party to remember (and make a blog post about)

Elin is painting, the front loader is the ultimate tool.
Still more painting
The concrete base is ready, easy one
Started doing the formwork, this bit is tricky. The bridge ready for the wheelbarrow.
Formwork ready, looks a bit chaotic.
All ready, sand in the front loader bucket, crushed rock next to it together with the cement bags and finally the cement mixer.
The casting is done, best of all, the formwork did not break, a small thanks to my engineering but most of all luck.
Elin painting some more. and we have started to level the lawn in front.
Street legal? Who gives a fu#$?
Whether or not the led lights I have mounted on my Husqvarna TE610 are street legal or not…I must admit that I do not _really_ care, because now I can see in the dark.
I can see my house from here
Yesterday when about to land at Gardermoen I realized that I could see my house from high up in the air
Things to do when in Wiesbaden
Currently in Wiesbaden performing an IBM support review, a service they offer to help ensure successful usage of the software we have bought from them. While here I get to have a look around as well. First picture is actually not from Wiesbaden, it s from the airport in Frankfurt. For my neighbor I had to take a picture of the BMW i8

This is the Doppelbock, did enjoy that one the most.
