My car has now passed 70.000 kilometers, still going strong. I thought when I got to know that we should get a child that I needed to buy a new one, but no – we perfectly manage. Peugeot 206 SW covers all our needs.

Todays bicycle ride
The plan today was to join Lille40 (Lillehammer – Oslo 40 km/h average), but since I had misplaced my bike pump I was about 30 seconds to late to be able to join them. I saw they started out from Hydro just when I got on top of the hill, but I was to far away from them to shout, and when I got to the next roundabout I turned left where they had turned right. So I ended up going by myself to Roa and then to Maura, the same route as a couple of weeks ago. 140 kilometers all in all in about 5 hours, must admit that my legs was still hurting after Enebakk Rundt on thursday.
On my way over the hill between Roa and Maura this sign was placed on the road. Luckily the water had withdrawn from the road so no need for me to turn around. I read this article yesterday so I knew that there would be a slight chance for it…

Enebakk Rundt yesterday
My team and I managed to do Enebakk Rundt almost as fast as we had hoped for. 2.05.44 is the official time for our team, 2.04 was our goal, but if we give us some slack due to the weather I would say that we managed!

The Omid Djalili-show
We watched the first episode sent on Norwegian tv today with the Omid Djalili-show. That, I must say, was a breath of fresh air! Sign me up next week for the next episode…

New version of B2 released today, just a minor upgrade which either you as a end user of my blog or I as an administrator/publisher will notice much of. But, always best to stay on top!
Voluntary Communal Work (Dugnad)
Today we had the yearly event of voluntary communal work in our housing cooperative. Not to much to do this year, but then Anne-Lise, or neighbor, said that she wanted to get rid of a large tree. As it turned our, I had the chainsaw and protection gear in the car, so after the neighbors had said ok I started doing my work. Note that I without 5 years of forester training school did not hurt anyone 😀
I’ve posted pictures showing what we did, press “Read more” to see the all. The first one shows how it was before we started.

A lot of Nick Cave
I must admit that I’m very in to Nick Cave for the time being. We have seven of his albums, that is still just half of all the studio albums he and The Bad Seeds have released, not counting Grinderman and such. The next album I need to buy is Murder Ballads. Currently listening to the Let Love In album.
WebSphere rocks!!
You might think that this is work related, and you are not totally wrong, but then again a bit wrong 🙂
First off all, WebSphere do rock, but this time it is my friend Brian who I know from several WebSphere-events who plays the drums at this years Impact in Las Vegas. Jerry Cuomo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennaro_A._Cuomo is also playing together with him. What other software brand has such a cool CTO 🙂
By the way, Brian is invited by me and the people from Norsk Tipping to race Birkebeinerrittet http://www.birkebeiner.no/ (Brian, as I promised, you can use my bike 🙂 )

Hei og takk
Den er god, da bekrefter jeg
1. JA, jeg er med på 15-timer’n.
Har i utgangspunktet skrevet meg på 17-timer’n, melder fra til Gunnar at jeg
bytter lag. Biter tenna sammen og satser hardt på at dette skal gå. 🙂
….
So now I’m part of the team with the ambition of finishing Den Store Styrkeprøven in less than 15-hours if good conditions. Doh!
