Damn IT update bricking my work laptop badly enough that it might need to be replaced, just when I had collected a bunch of respectable stickers on the lid

Departing Bergen, souhbound, yesterday

Changing flights without changing planes. TRD-BGO-SVG where you have to leave the plane in BGO and come back to the same seat with a quick 180 at the gate

Small wins in life, and stuff #travle #1272 +0 (Perfect) ✅✅✅✅✅ travle.earth

Ninja rain showers that appear out of nowhere and don't give any warning on the weather app are here again

Again certified to escape from an overturned helicopter under water, and other practical day-to-day skills. Offshore safety training done for another four years

Today is a rare day that I as a Finn get to be smug about some sporting event among my Norwegian colleagues #icehockey

In very local news from Stavanger, the Police informs that the driver in his 90's who rear-ended a van at about 10km/h downtown has had his driver's license suspended

Finally got back to a 5min/km pace on my regular 7,5 km mixed trail/road run. Going to feel it tomorrow

Transitioning from skiing to hiking mode means getting back to the Sandnes hills across the fjord. It was more hot & humid than it looks

Oh crap, the attack seagulls are building a nest on the roof overlooking our route to the supermarket again this year

It's a pretty committing strategy to live your formative years under a rock, so you then can make lot's of videos on Youtube reacting to music you hear for the first time

Not my usual day in the office

Tomorrow is Constitution Day here in Norway, and everyone is hosting a big party. Today is the day of most parking lot fender bender collisions ever year, according to insurance statistics.

Looks like some people on the island outside here were close to waking up with a pretty big heavy-lift vessel on their beach today: www.nrk.no/rogaland/kra...

Post your warning sign(s)

Yesterday and today have been redemption for all of this season's wind, fog, rain, flat light, avalanche conditions and sticky snow

Finally, after a cold, soggy and somewhat miserable season here in southwestern Norway we got that one spring skiing day. And with a vengence! +25C down at the parking lot, not much less up above

Pet peeve of the day: US English default spell-check automatically peppering my text with z's, but when I manually revert to UK English is will not automatically revert those back to s's as I wrote them

Snowmelt is really picking up and I'm embedded in a holiday cabin with a non-skier, so the quickest fix with snow down to the car was to go skin up and ride the local closed chairlift

2/2 train rides in Copenhagen have been a complete shitshow, and the secon one isn't over yet

Short hop SVG-CPH tonight catching up with @layovers.to ep 157. First time on a Starlink enabled SAS plane, and since that was a topic of discussion in the podcast, SAS goes for prohibiting both voice and video calls in flight (which is nice)

Why yes, I'm delighted that I get to go to Copenhagen for a conference on Tuesday, the only proper spring skiing day forecast all season

Flatlight backcoutry skiing tonight kinda sucked, but was still better that watching skiing on youtube at home

Spring would like to inform everyone that it has decided to extend it's vacation and may in fact skip work altogether this year. We're having peak snowpack on April 12th here in the Heiane area

Does it count as tourism if we live 40 min down the road?

Is Bluesky hosted from the Artemis II capsule today, with all these outages?

Dave is being a pretty chill dude so far, but they say he'll be throwing a temper tauntrum in the afternoon

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int

Goddamit, Dave! I mean the storm, that's coming to mess up our Easter break skiing for good

Grown ass man goes up into the mountains after work just to dig a hole in the snow. At least now I have an kdea what goes on in the snow when the avy forecast goes up to 3/5

Very much a backwards ski season here in south-western Norway. First low snow cover and windy for months, and just when the spring should kick off we get the biggest snowstorms and high avalanche risk

I know that there's probably 2 other people here enjoying this kind of stuff, but this year's Verbier Extreme was run in such great conditions and with such great riders that I didn't mind at all that they couldn't start from the very top. One for the books! www.youtube.com/live/LfkgNMy...

Youtube tagging me with Freestyle skiing makes me go "OK, boomer" back at Youtube

Just spent 1,5 hours waiting to be able to drive back home due to a royal visit blocking our street. Thanks, Belgium

@papadimitriou.bsky.social considering a move?

Fog from 11:00 tomorrow. Let's forget skiing then. At least it's going to dump some more next week to keep the season going

Working in Oslo for the week, and must say what a luxury it is to have working public transport rather than being car dependent for commuting to the office

It's very confidence inspiring that a fellow passenger started crossing himself and mumbling something when he notices we are flying in a CRJ900 next

They gave us the most rickety stairs of the airport here at the CPH bus gate

Traffic report indicates bad congestion in the downtown area due to a coule of swans who have occupied a key roundabout #Stavanger

Most of the Spanish armada and friends put to sea, but we did get more interesting visitors in port: autonomous testbed Blue Eclipse 1 with mothership Ary

Was a very 3D day on the mountain today with all the comings and goings of the cloud pack. Great snow and riding when you timed it to the non-whiteout moments

Looks like we have the Spanish Armada in port today, along with some French and German friends

Seriously windy here in the mountains today, but at least we have been getting steadily more snow, and next week it should be dumping as well

So, turns out that, contrary to the weather forecast, today may indeed be the best day for skiing here in the Stavanger area all month. Of course I have a self-inflicted calendar and some work morals. But, can't help to think what if

I guess I should be glad for compound delays when connecting in Europe in winter: one hour delay HEL-CPH is still OK because the CPH-SVG leg is also 40 min delayed. I was alredy secretly hoping for an extra night in Copenhagen, though

Happy to discover that there indeed are good ramen to be had outside Japan these days
