Don’t the first days of spring just fill you with positive vibes, good cheer and hopes about new beginnings…? Nope, me neither. Load of bollocks.
However, it does provide some decent light for photo’s. I’ll be taking all the credit for those, and for posting them. No way a stupid season is getting it.
Yesterday (All IH plus ///):
Today (All IH plus Wesco’s):
To my shame, this post is nearly three years late.
On a visit to Gosport in late autumn 2022 when I was in a pretty terrible place in my life, I was gifted one of my grail pieces by the eminent @goosehd
The IH-526v-XHS fit me perfectly at the time and I then proceeded to put on about 10kg and stopped using it. Dug it out to for work last night on a whim, and while getting it closed is a challenge, I felt I could get away with it. Looking forward to kicking the shit out of it over the next few months.
So a belated public thank you to Dennis. Love you mate

New shirt (actually my first new IH shirt for years). Old jeans. Pub bathroom mirror.
One thing about northern Norway… get out onto the islands and you’ll need layers, even in the middle of summer…
Werk…
Jeans/Vest/Tee/ Bar Towel - IH.
Just popping in to say hi… been missing this place and you guys.
Actually took some fit pics today. Nothing shocking… but a recently purchased pair og 634-XHS (pre soak) are featured.

Late night pub look. Grail vest.
@tody said in The Mad Red Motherf**ker World Tour.:
@neph93 Meant to ask that before - you look like have shed some serious weight recently? Fit on the jacket is superb. And 'Surol', I know exactly what that is, yummy!
Yeah… down 8kg and counting, with a little help from a needle in the belly once a week. Doctors orders, to lower BP, and lessen pressure on my twice fucked knee, (torn PCL, and split meniscus).
^that should have been a screenshot of me watching Bodø/Glimt vs. Inter Milan while posting in the forum, but the tv company obviously has their DRM in place, thoroughly penetration tested.
@goosehd the more my attempts at penetration are denied and repulsed, the happier I will be.
Forgot to mention this!
Not a massive amount of action for the MRMF. Days are spent in front of screens, doing stuff with Linux distros, virtualised containers, firewalls, VLAN’s and smart switches. From there it will be penetration testing, which is as fun as it sounds but not for the reasons you’re thinking. Dirty bugger.
Made it out in the dusk today though,
I raided the local wine monopoly for beers though, here are the ones I ‘ve had so far this week:
@68degreesorless only get Swedish snus in Norway. No dip, or skoal bandits. And the Norwegian government’s effort to make packaging neutral to discourage people from buying it, hilariously backfired as everyone considers the military green with white sans serif text to be a nailed on design classic 
@Bridger This is Norway. I’d have to work very hard to find interesting urinals. Unlike my oldest son, who spent five months in Aberdeen recently, and could confirm that the toilet featured in Trainspotting was in fact not the worst toilet in Scotland by a long shot. He took great joy in documenting and sharing this fact.
Here’s the airport bathroom selfie nobody, needed
And the post travel beer:
this is made by the mighty Lervig, which any beer nuts reading will be familiar with. They are from Stavanger (lucky me). I’m in Stavanger/Sandnes for a study trip (with ahem benefits). I’ll share a little of it here, but it will not be visually very exciting unless you’re a Linux nerd. More details to come.
Travel day…
Bådin stout, snus, first trip for the PY&Co bag, used for its intended purpose (laptop/carry on), and a ledendary mid-life crisis jacket.
@tody oh hell yes. My favourite producer of lambic and geueze. I checked the wine monopoly in Stavanger this morning and they have an impressive list of Tilquin. First stop after landing 
Travelling to Stavanger tomorrow, for a week. 1000km from Bodø as the crow flies. I will not be flying like a crow however, and will need to go via Trondheim. Joy. The MRMF will be along for the ride.
Quiet night in packing, but I bought this on Friday as I love Tilquin anyway, and this bottle seemed especially appropriate.
