Escape from boredom

Last Sunday I was duing my duty for my club helping out at Øyern Rundt. One of the things I did was controlling the traffic at the last roundabout. A very pleasant task for an hour or so, then it got kinda boring. The race is about 120km, and the last few people uses almost 6 hours, gets kinda boring waiting for them I promise you.

First, I had some help of people from Lørenskog Cycleclub, they had their Petit Prix.

But then, all alone, and riders only every 5 minutes or so…good thing the weather was nice

Have been trying out http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/ the past few days. Kinda funny and easy to get started with, but it was not all what I’ve expected. Quite long time ago since I read about it the first time, and was described as something that should be very funny. Ok, a bit funny, but avatars dressed funny…funny for a minute or two. And it is a bit slow to load, to many “Play now” clicks. And most of all, I have not figured out how to run, do not think it is possible, and that’s bad. If you are in a war, I guess you run a lot!!

So I actually prefer http://www.quakelive.com. It is also free, and you can play it fullscreen in your browser, and you run, you run like hell…

According to this article in VG there is not much music to earn by getting played at Spotify. Not hard to figure out why, just to try out the banners that pops up I clicked on one. It takes you to the webpage http://www.nettby.no where you have to register to view content, how laim is that? Also noticed that there are only three or four adds that have been circling for the past two weeks, I get so tired of them that I can’t stand to listen to Spotify more than a hour or two….

Now we are married, it happened on the 18’th of July, everything according to plan and a huge party! After that we have been one week to Pula in Croatia, renting an apartment at http://www.bizjak.info/ (Really nice). So that being the reason for me not having posted anything in the past few weeks.

Had to get rid of two sacks of fertilizer, so here you see pictures of me driving around the oat field with a John Deere 2140 owned by Elins uncle Erik.

Tried the rotary mover at Vestreng here the other day. Among all the places I used it to cut grass was around “Karenhuset” as it is called. As you can see, pretty nice result.

The only problem being some nails laying around there, causing a puncture… 🙁

This weekend I had my bachelor party, picked up in the morning by Espen and Loy. The sun was shining and we drove to Lillestrøm. Then Bendik picked me up in a roundabout and we drove a few metres to the kayak club. The two of us paddled for an hour or so, then we hooked up with the rest. Then a couple of more hours down to Gansvika.

Top right, me waiting for Bendik. Top left, some of the guys standing out in the water in Øyern. The pictures at the bottom, Sunday morning raining a lot.
