Now it’s gone
Eight years after we bought our first Mondeo it’s now gone. The Mondeo was dead, long live the new Mondeo. And for the record, not the one to the right …
Moving a container – redneck style
I was called in yesteday by my neighbour to help out two guys getting an old container on to a trailer. Turned out to be a bit more work than expected, but we had a lot of fun and several good laughs (and just ot mention it from the start, it all went well)
Can it be lifted? Yes it can!
The trailer is ready to be pushed underneath
Had to level the tractor
Time for a break
Phase 1 done – mounted on the trailer, now phase 2 – Pull it out. Good thing I have more than one tractor.
We needed to level the trailer as well
Testing it on the car. We did not actually believe it at first, but the container was in perfect balance, so we could actually lift it from the trailer hitch with no help at all.
Phase 3 – Securing the load
Phase 4 – Getting ready to go
Volvo equals tractor…
Safe is in the air
Last Sunday with the help of Erik and my father in law we moved the safe from the house we rent out. Lifted it out with the crane and on to the forks of the front loader. Luckily we could do it all by the use of machines and no need to lift it, did fear for our backs if we would have needed to do that.
Apple lemonade
The boys did pick the apples in our garden, then we slized them up together and made apple lemonade. Really good, but much effort for little result, maybe we should check the ripeness a bit better, hoping for more juicy apples in a week or so.
Nybakkrunden last Saturday
Last Saturday Espen and I attended Nybakkrunden. Here mounting the bikes at the back of the car, all ready to go.
And here after the race. Espen had an accident, another biker simply crashed into him and he got some wounds but nothing seriously. But still, when he was down I did pass him, it was just about 1k after start. After a minute or two he came up to me, we talked, and then he put some more energy to it and … he was gone leaving me with my pride hurt. So now its time to start being a bit more targeted traning. I spent 10 minutes more than 4 years ago, so not happy at all.
Word up!
Citizenfour is available everywhere for you to watch, here at Youtube [video:youtube:Nd6qN167wKo]
Testing voice recognition
Did test the iPhones voice recognition, but after way to many attempts my voice was not recogniced. Why it insist on Elin being green beats me
Out of scale
Yesterdays weather forecast was a bit out of scale, luckily the forecast was not fulfilled.
Circus Arnardo
Yesterday me and the two oldest ones went to Circus Arnardo.
The boys really had fun, they especially loved the clowns. We all enjoyed the trained animals and the rest, but I must admit that what really impressed me was the Norwegian artist Chris Pettersen doing his slackline/slackrope show. I found the act on Youtube, but I must admit that seeing it live was even more impressing – but well worth spending time watching the video. [video:youtube:yZCpgcuWLC8]
