May seems to be better than April this year

I left for final check for my old car, it was in perfect condition, and received only zeroe's at Ramseng Auto in Mo i Rana. Froim there I drove to Trollstigen in Sweden, and it was some fun along the E12 - "The Blue Road" as it is called. The brand new tunnel is not good - it is a Mess! They have had huge problems since the opening, the road is icy, and very dangerous inside the tunnel. In Lycksele I got a picture of the traditional sculpture in Ice at the river bank. Then I came here, and discovered that almost all snow is gone! Nice! Enjoy!

Nostalgia from the seventies - do you remember?

A little nostalgia! Here are some pictures you might recognize? If you think back to 1973, or thereabouts, you may see the light! Liecel jumps here in the hills of Drageid and the photographer (Kurt, as usual) has caught her in the end of her flying down the hill. The second picture is from the same period, and it is Merethe and Anders, who is visiting in Olav V gt by Elizabeth & Kurt. It was difficult to get Anders to sit still, but it was just as he was and still is? Make Comments about who the people on Skiing pictures are. Then there's the picture wher the kids got the 4 yrs book in the Church, by minister Arne Fylling. Our kids have been writing on the paperphoto, I will try to remove the strokes in the next version - do you kow this kids? Make comments!

My Nissan Laurel 1986, 2,8 diesel, is back in Mint Condition

My dear Nissan Laurel 2.8 Diesel is back in top condition! After the regular EU control, it was noted on the right rear brake cylinder. I had an extra axle for the same model that had gone only a little over 1000 miles, and it was taken out, and new parts came from Utskarpen and from Ramseng Auto Mo I Rana. It is difficult to get hold of parts for such an old car, but they did it, and the new parts were put on the almost new rear axle, and my good neighbor, Morten Holien, Drageid, did a great job, on very short time, he took rear axle down, and the new fitted, with adjusted brakes and new bushings in the suspension – then  the car was like new again. Morten Holien has a good workshop, and with a skilled mechanic is all good! Good Weekend!

We are looking forward to Springtime!

Now we are really waiting for the Spring! We like to see the asfalt on the roads, and maybe an Elk or a Moose?

Besøk på "gamlejobben" i dag - Emil kjente mange kolleger...

I dag har vi vært en sväng i Umeå! Emil wanted to visit the kindergarten in Gräsmyr, so we drove by there, and everyone was very happy for our visit. Emil remembered of course that he was "elgjakt" - Elk-hunting with his buddies, and when he saw the picture from the hunt, it was clear to him. He played for a while before we went home to Elsy & Lasse for dinner: elgsteik special! The final clue to the day was the ICE-car which came along our street. Emil got he favorite ice. Then we talked with Veronika and Marielle on SKYPE. Tomorrow we will be going home to Norway again.

Emil playing with Arvid - snow is importantl!

The sun is up, and the heat is on, the spring and summer is near? Emil finally got his good friend Arvid over, and they are playing outside trying to get rid of the BIG snowhill I made earlier this winter!

Sweden - back for spring-activities...? In the snow!

Well, we came here in good shape, via Brännland, where we got Pizza for everyone! Today we had a super wash all over the house, and then we left for Umeå, to shop.We found equipment for our new Induction stove back home, and we also had to get a compost Bin for the new system here. Emil liked the work to assemble the thing. He seemed to know how to, and the Bin is big enough for us here. Then he liked to get rid if the rest of the snow, I guess the sun will help to melt it down.

Mosjøen - we are visiting Hellen og Magnar - Elisabth's birthday!

Here we are, we was greeted with a great dinner, Rakfisk, yesterday evening we tested the birtdaycake for Elisabeth! Have a great weekend, We will be attending the seminar the rest of the weekend.

Test with my "little" PRO Camera - Freehand

I would like to test the freehand-shot, and did this from my sofa.... here is my 8,7MB file.... You can click on the picture as many times you like, to see a bigger..... I won't lie, I took the picture in RAW format, using my Canon Powershot G10. Nice piece!

The new Jøtul complete from today

Well, today we got the extra for the new heater in our livingroom. It was this special dekor, it is made in soapstone, very decorative. I hope it will help keeping the heat longer. Soon the spring is here, then we have no use for the thing. It is ok. The weather is very mild here today, so the snow will soon disappear!

A visiter in the night!

This morning, we discovered some tracks close to the wall in our house, we thought that maybe it was the neighbor's dog, at first, but after a little reconnaissance, we found that there was a larger animal. And tonight at 21:30, there was a reindeer close into the house, grazing on some flower bushes we have on the front side. I thought this was ok, so I talked a bit with the reindeer, and took several photos, we agreed to be friends. We look at the earmarks which tells us who the owner is, and we know the owner very well! I actually use a reindeer on my Business Card! Happy Easter!

God helg! Et bilde fra 8.des 2007

Vi kan jo vise et bilde fra 2007, det er ikke så lange siden, men det var vinter da også!
This is from 8. Dec 2007, visit from Bodø/Evensgård. We had winter then, also!

Today my grandparents, Emil & Olga Tverli had been 104 yrs!

Tur til Tverlia i dag

Det ble en liten skitur opp Tverlia i dag. Det var voldsomt med snø, men vi tråkket oss opp i djupsneen, og fikk oss en liten surfing på vei ned igjen.

It was a little ski trip up Tverlia today. It was plenty with snow, but we stepped us up in deep snow, and got us a little surfing on the way back down. When I was a kid I did this in seconds, today.... well....

Nice weather crossing the border

This afternoon I crossed the border from Sweden, from Arjeplog it was heavy snow, but when I reached the border, actually Merkenes, it was very nice, after the dark pre-evening.

Then the result

Now we can drive here again, we are waiting for the spring, and summer!

Heavy ice and snow
