Tested during our vacation week in Sweden, the Hell beer from Jämtlands bryggeri and the God Lager from Nils Oscar. Enjoyed both, but as scary as it is…I found the Hell beer being the best lager
Beer made by the Devil and God

Home made jam of various kinds
Today I have created jam made of blackcurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry. Harvesting the growth of the soil
Thanks to Elin for keeping all the used jam glasses, even if I asked “Why???”. Now I’m happy
Earlier this week, enjoying blackcurrant with lots of sugar and youghurt.
Crude – The real prize of oil
Have you seen the movie about Texaco (Chevron) and how they have polluted land in Ecuador? Would recommend you not to, since you will only feel a stronge urge to kick some ass, especially the Chevron employees. I would hope people like the scientist Sara is a liar, because there are no lies told, she and her coworkers must be the worst kind of scientist.

I guess there are plenty of things that the president of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, could have done better, but the decisions he has made in this case is proving that he is a wise man.
Kamikaze bird
Found this bird out on the balconyhere the other day. At first I thought it was stuck in the grill, but he wasn’t. So I assume he has tried to fly through the window in the balcony door. Quite funny when Elin noticed it 🙂
One of my Maxim bottles
This bottle was all fresh when I started on Friday, not meant for nine hours in mud
Ultrabirken 2010
Yesterday Espen, I and about 470 others participated in Ultrabirken, 112 kilometers on gravel and tracks and at the end 10 kilometers on tarmac. We spent nine hours riding, pushing and carrying our bikes, had one puncture and one chain break – both off course less than 30 minutes before finish when we both were very cold, so we lost a great amount of time, but hey, we had no plans on winning, we did it for fun 🙂 And you can view the fun at Sportstracker
From Rena the night before, where we slept, together with a bunch of others
Espen five minutes after we had passed the finishing line
Our bikes after the race
We got an offer we could not refuse, car and bikewash
“…it never gets easier, it only gets faster…”

[video:youtube:_9ffYrLtswo]Yet another day at work – cake
Tom Erik having his last day at Telenor yesterday, so to show how much we appreciate him we ate a lot of cake. Must admit that I was not even hungry when dinner was served at home. Did not try the cheese cake, but had two pieces of each of the other ones 🙂
And by the way, how to lose weight while eating cake for breakfast 🙂
Lawn mower not willing to start
Last Saturday we had some trouble with the lawn mower, it would not start, but my father-in-law knows his way around the problem. The battery charger can be used on big tractors as well as the lawn mower. Also notice the pile of pallets, we had to do some other maintenance as well and without a proper lawn mower lift we created our own.
Somewhere to stay in Bjørvika
On my way to work I spotted this pile of junk just by the sea in Bjørvika. But sometimes later when passing by on my way home I spotted someone getting up from the pile, to my surprise after having had a sleep. So then I realized that someone is actually living there. Not looking forward to the winter I would assume, would be surprised if the pile actually floats. Something for David Letterman and his “Will it float“
Mjølkerampa Open 2010
Yesterday I participated in Mjølkerampa Open, just as last year. Quite sure I had a better run this year, but still, my time was exactly one minute more. The reason for this being that on the first kilometers of the 10k’s we where just two guys speeding together, whereas last year we where at least five keeping up the pace. Sad to know that I was one kilo more this year. The order you start is based on how much, or less, you weigh. The list starts at 130 kilos, and for each kilo down to 75 you weigh less, you get 10 seconds added to your starting time. So if Contador had been 130 kilo and still as good on his bike, he would have won for sure.
Also from Rye: Espen, Jan Henrik and Leif Ivar. No pictures taken by me this year, but someone else has done their share of work and published pictures here /picasaweb.google.no/TeddyTrb/
