I don’t know if you read my previous motorcycle blog post, written before i got the motorcycle out of winter storage. Spring time came, and with it finally I could get the BMW R1200RT out of winter storage. Turned out it wasn’t keen waking up, shake months of sleep off it’s spark plugs and cylinder jars. For…read more>>

Blogging not entirely at a grinding halt…
Though it might look like it. Yes very much so. Been a while since last blogging, the last post. Very busy times, especially the last weeks. No blogging, but the world kept spinning And nothing else came to a grinding halt, surprise! The Earth kept spinning, the sun kept rising (and descending), the moon kept waxing and waning….read more>>

Blogging, been ignored, but here we are again….
Blogging, and time. Or no time. Life & work life’s been demanding attention, time and energy. Got a new job this spring, getting into a new mode, lots of new things to learn and get into, etc etc… well I’m sure this is all familiar. But now I’m back, and plan to publish a few…read more>>
Old heroes don’t live forever….
Old heroes don’t live forever a friend reminded me today. News of the passing of Grand Prog Rock Master Extraordinaire Keith Emerson spread quickly across the interweb and social media. Sadly, while the circumstances around his death remained unknown at first, during the afternoon (CET) of Saturday 12th Billboard updated their article stating that, according…read more>>
Interval ergometer pedaling, one month+ of experience
It’s been about 2,5 months since I first wrote about my not so cheerful experience buying a techy ergometer bicycle. We know how it is, sometimes when buying stuff things do not always go as planned. You might be unlucky, and get something faulty. Such is the beauty of mass-production. No one made any protests (as if that would…read more>>
I got a real winter…
… in fact, as real as I recall it from the days of ignorance and youth. That would be back in the 60s, 70s and and (while not quite so young anymore), late 80s. Yeah must have been in late 90s things began to change more significantly. Mild winters, little snow etc etc. In any event, coldness hit our…read more>>
New year, clean slate? Don’t know about that, but…
..making promises at the end of the old year, for the new year, to myself, and keep them, yep, tried and failed. Yet sometimes, for whatever reason, whether associated with a new year, new beginning or clean slate kinda feeling, those do lead … somewhere. Making it a new start? Doing a (light/heavy) reboot? A kick-my-butt symbolic fresh start? A page turn? I’ll speak for…read more>>
Not a Christmas Carol, but a Christmas story
I started morning of December 24th by getting up much too early and almost immediately, before completely woken up, bravely (or foolishly) hopped on an attempt to repair our well used Moccamaster coffee machine. In retrospect I cannot rule out the possibility that the project would have gone a lot smoother had I done three things prior to start-up; 1)…read more>>
A piece of advice; don’t (always) listen to advices
Well, I won’t be categorical about it. Sometimes an advice might save you time, trouble and money. However, at other times it might actually be better not taking an advice. Even if that means learning a few things one in hindsight perhaps could have done without. It of course all depends, on many factors and variables. As for…read more>>
