Does it ever end?

...great, more snow...
It's perfect time to post this as when I did this there was snow, lots of snow and now we haven't had any snow in weeks, I'd say it's been like this almost a month... but... today... more snow, oh man, I already changed the bike tires and all.

Two more days and it's time for my two weeks winter holiday. I got some spare days left over from last years summer holiday + few extra days because of the Easter, thank you religious people for these lovely public holidays ^___^. We are traveling North to the place where people wrestle the polar bears and eat reindeer! Well not really, no polar bears in this country, we eat reindeer however... I'm getting sidetracked too easily nowadays... we are going to see the my grandparents, uncle and quite unfortunately, my dad, yay -__-.

No excuses

The winter came! and went away!
Been busy, forgot to post new notes...

Thanks to the crappy winter it's been surprisingly easy project to continue cycling through the winter. I bought Schwalbe Ice Spiker Pro studded winter tires so the ice isn't a problem. When it's cold the snow is easy to deal with as it's so light. It's not too slippery, and the trails and bumps don't suck the tire in...  However, the crappy winter continues and it's not even icy anymore... wet slush, now that is difficult stuff to pedal through :p The front tire just keeps searching for any solid contact with the ground. Just when you start to feel comfortable the tire climbs on top of the snow and your balance is off... And just when you think that it's going to be ok again the tire plunges through the slush moving the front part of the bike 10 cm left or right and the balance is off again. And good luck trying to steer through any tight corners.

It's still fun as hell though!

The winter is coming...


Damn, I had it ready in time, but didn't have time to upload it. Or maybe I just forgot, anyhow... The Death is coming! With a bus apparently... I gazed outside the office window after lunch and five minutes later I had this ready. I almost started to draw something Game of Thrones related as the phrase was the first thing that popped in my mind but then I pictured the Death waiting for a bus freezing his balls off :) Death and winter is also often related as the winter is seen as the death of nature. and stuff...

Many things happening this week. My winter tires for the bike should also arrive and I'm having a certain Service Management administrator course this week and hopefully I'll get the certificate too. Two weeks to go and I'm free for the rest of the year!
