Back in the salt mines...

...since last Monday. A few days at work and you feel like you need another vacation immediately!
I will round off my vacation pics here with me on top of my shed, finishing the new roof:


In Björköby there is a local museum located in an old house where you can have a look at old traditional furniture, tools and clothes etc. and in the old barn there is a motor, vehicles and machines museum showing all kinds of old boat engines, motorcycles, mopeds etc. and suddenly there, in the midst of the old boat engines, there is a manual petrol (gas) pump that once was used at the local shop. That pump, once used for two-stroke petrol, gave me some nice flashbacks of my teenage years:

 

There were two of those pumps - one for 4% mixture and one for 5%. The shop closed at 1 PM on Saturdays and one of the ladies behind the counter was a grumpy "old girl" and did not like young moped and motor cycle riders much... She had a habit of rolling in those pumps back into the storage at about 15 minutes to 1 PM and lock the doors. Of course we then showed up at 10 minutes to 1 to fill up our mopeds and motorbikes for the weekend... :D

And of course some mandatory pictures of sunsets and the rising moon:






Have a nice weekend everybody, we are going to our summer house because the weather forecast is OK and there will be faint winds so I can do a little fishing.
