A Great Day

[Ancient Mariner]

Walked up and skied down Mount G. Cold, strong beer, Akkevitt, 26C in the sun,Red Hot Chili P on the CD, an empty bottle of Jagermeister and two huge steaks waiting to be put on the coals............and no womenfolks in the vicinity.
How much better can it be?

Looks like a fantastic way to spend the day Per!

[Marc 1]

Brill-yunt beer table there Per - That's proper 'Man Furniture'!

[Sir Gallivant]

And a Danish bottle for the akkevit, Holmegaard if I am not mistaken.

I think you're correct, Sir. Impressive! It was a birthday present a few years back, goes cluck, cluck when you pour......which you do...frequently.
Marc1, the snow on the terrace has just melted, haven't had time to remove the tarp' from the furniture yet, the work bench will do the job.....and yes, it is more manly.

I hope they were whale steaks.

[Ancient Mariner]

I hope they were whale steaks.

Afraid not, no fresh whale meat available, had to settle for an old cow. Her name was Rosa, but she tasted not half bad.

The real issue is, how did she died?

Murdered to death, of course.

[sindeewell]

It was a mooooving moment when she finally tipped over.

Oh, not again

[Sickbag]

Its always sad when you come across two beached whales...

Trust me, that was exactly how we felt. That was Saturday, biking to work today my legs cramped up. I'm getting too old for this shit, but I'll never admit that, or give in to my SiL. Never.

I hope the lenscap was on that D70!

[Ancient Mariner]

I hope the lenscap was on that D70!

The one in the bag? My SiL's camera, ask me if I care.
My camera was on the tripod.

Yeah it's a D70 with some kind of unusual 3rd party Sigma(?) I've not seen before.

Per you really need to come to London to enjoy our imbibery

[monchavo]

sickbag and tds may concur with me: beware the beer in small gold cans, wherever ye are

Could be a Sigma, I remember vaguely that it is a fixed 150mm 'cause I had to back up like mad to compose. London not in the calender at moment, will let you know if otherwise.
Beer in small gold cans are something smuggled from Denmark or Germany, 5.9% and quite nice (lethal).

I guess ABBA is on the other CD?

[Ancient Mariner]

Yup, on the one we use for skeet shooting. Lucky for ABBA we always miss.

[Not_Karl]

Lucky for ABBA we always miss.
Per

Sure? I see a hole in the middle of the CD .

[Ancient Mariner]

A few more pictures from A Great Day, while I'm waiting for my lazy bum SiL to edit the video.
Per

This the Goal.


This me wobbling first steps, steep stuff.


This me wobbley, wobbling next to last steps before the Summit, really steep stuff.


This be the Summit Lodge, still well and truly closed.


This be the butt-clenching way down. Black dots be people, not just crappy dust on SiL's dirty Nikon.


We be still alive, looking back up, halfway down.


This be our cheap video gear, thank Odin and Tor for helmet, otherwise duct-taped to me head.


Now the Manly Reward.


And the Manly Seasoning, salt and ground black pepper, only.


And last, but not least.....The Very Manly Chef, thank you, apron. Additional manly seasoning be ash from cigarette.

[Sir Gallivant]

Per, with your knowledge of good quality drinking, you still drink Slots Guld??? I know it is cheap, but come on. Could have been worse, of course, could have been Carlsberg or Tuborg.

Cheap stuff indeed. Bought two cases duly smuggled into the Kingdom by evil furrin truck driver (thank you SiL). Avoiding customs and excise makes it taste heaven. Not a beer connoisseur, if cold, wet and strong, I'm happy.

[monchavo]

Per, clean your sensor. Those dust bunnies are not good.

Get a rocket blower. If it doesn't shift it, send it to Nikon for a clean.

Great man-pics though!
