Escape from boredom

10’th of May before all the snow was gone

Me and my father pretty happy after having been able to fit the middle drive belt on the flail mower. The outer ones was pretty straight forward, those we could manage to fit together by hand, but the middle one was to heavy. So, we fitted it as much as we could by hand, then my father kept it in position using a long plank – safety always first – then I started the PTO. The tractor struggled a little bit, just to confirm that we would never have been able to do it by hand, and then…smack!! The belt fitted like a glove!!

On the bus, passing Fetsund, we got overtaken by this guy

A little bit of snow plowing yesterday, just to help the lawn, hopefully no more on this side of the summer

And now all the skiis are waxed and put away for the summer.

Woke up to this view. Still a bit snow in the garden, and frost.

…or at least a lot of snow has melted the last two weeks since the last tiem I took such pictures.

When walking from the bus yesterday I had wade in order to get home. Luckily it was like this just for a couple of hours.

I have also thought that the skiing season was finally over, but I was wrong. #1 was out skiing – highly influenced by all the Candide Thovex-videos he has seen on Youtube

Last Sunday I spent a couple of hours driving the firewood home after having cleared the edge of the field together with my neighbour Thomas. Spring is here, so the roads are all cleared from snow, so I could unmount the snowchains of the tractor.

But, without chains I was unable to get uphill in order to turn the tractor downhill and load the wood. So I needed help from Thomas and his John Deere.

And talking about John Deere, apparanlty the deers have had a party

All done, now head home
