Klockan är åtta och det är STEKHETT, börjar likna Cali minus stilla havet och Big Sur. Fick mess från Holland, det är tropikväder där med så det här blir nog bra! Navigatorn säger 9 timmar och 87 mil (vi får väl se). Nu ska jag käka frulle och rulla ut min P-51 mustang (Om min sporty vore ett jaktplan vore hon en P-51!! Jag känner mig stundom som en jaktplanspilot =) och börja the long haul south.... read more

Hello, Jan sold his Volvo P1800. It was his first car he owned and he has had it for 28 years. He has had it stored in Ricki's shop for 25 years. (Thanks Ricki) It is very monumental for Jan to sell his little car project. Ricki is happy it will be leaving his shop and Jan has closed this chapter. Jan is very happy about making this decision and the new owner is thrilled. I have attached a few pictures of the car and Jan's farewell. I have also attached a few pictures of Rick's shop. I have sent these special for a brother of mine who has his own paint shop. (Willie - I hope you find these pictures interesting. He has a pretty cool set up.) ... read more

A slight case of overdoing? Ni som känner mig vet ju att jag är ett stort fan av den sovjetiska hojen M72 och enligt ett obekräftat rykte (som en snubbe slängde ur sig på en hojshop där jag stod och fikade och som jag glatt sprider vidare) så räcker det med 12 verktyg för att riva hela hojen (motor och allt). Fan trot,låter som värsta skrönan. Men jag tänkte att jag skulle ta med lite verktyg utifall att, det är så mycket lättare att dra åt en mutter själv än att försöka leta upp en mek verkstad (även om Mr. Garmin säkert har en lista över sådana med djupt inne i sitt minneschip) så även små skitsaker kan bli till stora förseningar. Under jobbet med att riva hojen antecknade jag vilka verktyg som användes och de ... read more

Jetzt habe ich die letzte Nacht in der kleinen Krippe geschlafen, nun geht es ins Bett. Aber vorher müssen noch die Geschenke da raus... Now, I slept the last night in the crib, now it is off into the big bed. But before that, all the presents have to get out...... read more

Hi All, We spent the day with the Lingren family and drove to Copenhagen to pick up two mares and their foals. It was fun driving over the bridge to Copenhagen (Oresunds Bron). We have been over it on the train but you are on the top of the bridge in a car. We went to a Danish farm outside of Copenhagen that is the home of a Peruvian horse breeder. This type of horse is very beautiful. It is important to keep the blood lines pure so breeding is important. Susann has three mares and they each have a foal. She hopes that they are pregnant again after their visit to Denmark. It was quite a rodeo to get the mares and foals caught and loaded into the horse trailers. We had two cars (yes ... read more

Hello Again, I am catching up the blog today with all the activities of last weekend. We went to the beach yesterday and all got a little too much sun so today is a home day. I just wanted to post a few pictures from Linnea's (Jan's niece) 15th birthday party. This is a big year because they are aloud to drive a Moped at age 15. She is already shopping and taking lessons. Seems scary to me but statistics show it is safer than driving a car at this age. You can drive a tractor when you are 15 as well. The kids actually drive Tractors to town and school. It is so funny to see them cruzin around the town square in big fancy Tractors. They cannot drive a car until 18. Gotta go ... read more

Hello All I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer. We are still enjoying Sweden and even have had some hot days. We intend to go about our adventures in 10 or so days. Our days are so full of friends and family that we are having a hard time getting on the road. This is a good problem to have - everyone is so great to be around. We went to a Skane (Southern Sweden) Folk Music Festival on Saturday. It was a great way to see the traditions of the area. Fortunate for us, Jan's friend was in charge so we got the Royal Treatment. The day started in a beautiful church very full of people. We listened to Old and New Swedish Folk Music. They sang songs about the summer, love, ... read more

Hello everyone - Today I am going to post some fun pictures from the outdoors. We had two days in a row of sunny hot weather and worked on our tan. I also thought i would start a list of Silly Swedish Facts that I have noticed. 1 - Most everyone one has white wooden floors. White floors in a country that does not have the driest weather. This is a great reason to never wear shoes in the house. These floors are carpet free and vacuumed every other day from a little hole in the wall with a built in system. Very handy. 2 - Every yard has a wild Hedge Hog living in it. They are so cute but - evidently they are not thought of too highly because they have bugs in their ... read more

We just celebrated the Swedish Midsommer. They celebrate the longest day of the year in full fashion. The nearest Friday to Summer Solstice is a Holiday and most people have a three day weekend. The celebrating starts on Thursday after work. There is lots of May Poles and Flower wreaths. Lots of eating and drinking happens the whole weekend. We had a great time. We started by going to a castle and celebrated with a full crowd of people wearing flower crowns and dancing around the May pole. There were traditional singers and dancers as well. Next we spent the weekend with Jan's friends on their farm. We made our own May Pole and sang and danced around it. We had a traditional dinner of Herring (Sil) and new potatoes. We drank lots of Schnapps- Skull ... read more
