Shit happens, sometimes in the right places. This is (also) a truth and, as it were, a truth I much prefer when shit does happen. So Monday April 6th the motorcycle season was supposed to start for me. A little late compared to last year. But those who wait for something good never wait in…read more>>
Daily rant, this & that
Hearing protection, loss of hearing or Tinnitus
Hearing protection is a must if you’re riding a motorcycle. The consequences of no or poor protection can be serious and long, or life lasting. Hearing protection should never be ignored. if you work in noisy environments, you probably know this very well. Take no risks. Sustained sound/sonic pressure can cause life-long damages. Or reduced…read more>>
Saturday January 4th, morning rambling
Saturday morning. Woke up, got coffee brewing going. Gave CAT medicine. Then fed CAT (in that order). In retrospect maybe fed CAT a bit too much. It happens. Shit happens, sometimes shit happens without shit. CAT-shit happens without shit. Sometimes. I’ll come back to that, and CAT shit a moment. While typing this I realize,…read more>>
Air filters – all that glitters is not gold
Air filters do a very crucial job, that’s a no-brainer. You don’t need deep insight to realize the air filtration system also require frequent attention. The norm is to change air filter at service intervals for your motorcycle. But if you ride offroad, on gravel or dirt, it might be sensible to inspect more frequently….read more>>
Reminiscing & consuming, a fools tale
Reminiscing & consuming. A few days ago a friend shared some links to prog rock music not heard in ages. That sent me into a musical reminiscing mode. One particular song but it did not end there, thankfully. More about that shortly. On second thought, maybe not so shortly. A package from Chinesia Fast forward…read more>>
Mid-March is a climatically confusing period
Mid-March is a climatically confusing period in the SometimesBackwardsKingdom of Nor-Way. People (some) long (strongly) for spring. However, a) very b) awfully frequently these people find themselves in a emotional, fictitious battle. This battle takes place, every other day, with the not-to-want-to-perish King Winter. All while his “autobot” cannons, fires off an impressive amount of…read more>>
MusicCast technologies, solutions, and choice
MusicCast systems and solutions exist in plenty. From the inexpensive or cheap, like Chromecast from Google, to the (very) expensive. Somewhere in-between, a choice for me. The starting point For some time I’ve been wanting to have a music-cast or streaming setup for a pair of active speakers (inbuilt amplifier) in our living room. Something…read more>>
Started with rant, evolved into a point (?)
It started with me being reminded by “FnordsBook”. Thrown in my face logging in this morning. On this exact day exactly one year ago, to be exact. It was a pretty uninteresting picture taken out of a window on second floor, showing how much snow we had, and how much had fallen during the night….read more>>
A Nordic skiers log, about the boring and the good
The winter of 2017/2018 have brought back snow, in plenty, to the Nordic, my region. And the country as a whole. It would be correct to say this winter will go down in history as a snowy “blast from the past”. A sign of change? Who knows, maybe it does represent changes in the (global)…read more>>
With motorcycles parked one does winter things
When I bought my second motorbike I did think about putting spike tires on and ride during winter. It didn’t happen. Guess I am too chicken 🙂 As the temp dropped below freezing I parked it. It’s been in the backyard under a tarp since early November. Weather and winter will decide for how long. Yes,…read more>>
