Yeah abit… Thim is a full on machine

Me and Thim chillin in the kitchen…

But life is good. I have started training on the Golds gym in Åre. Odd for me as I never realy liked indoor excercise. But here I am. Doing my best to get my crappy shoulder back in business. I wanne be skateboarding pools in summer 2012.

Also stamina will be on top by end of april. The Åre Out and Return is about to surface as the skiseason hits it’s final days in Åre. Lots of people in the village and of we go on the first ever hike and fly contest in Sweden. After 10 days on the web we have 27 participants! Happy Fred

Wanne join?

Åre OAR.

In the footsteps of contests such as the the Bordairline hike and fly contest in the alps, now this season in Åre, Sweden the local club runs the Åre Out and Return. The first run is during the last days of the skiseason in the local skiarea. 28 of april until the first of maj, and the race will be during the day with best meteo. The other days will be easy to fill with whatever U like to do in a skiarea… During a 9 hour race the contestants must walk up fly away as far as possible and get back to start.

The second comp will take place during 17th of may until the 20th of may. Best day will be used… The site might be Snasahögarna, a wild and beautiful range 60 k away from Åre.

”snow”making…

But back to now. I have finally managed to have a day on the mountain. And above…

Today the winds were low and temperature as well… -27 in the morning. Heavy inversion made it rather nice on the top of the mountain. I hiked with my light kit and flew the new Little Cloud Spiruline 3 XL together with my Supair Delight harness. What a nice combo. Light and comfortable in every way.

Landing in the valley with a nice long swoop i enjoyed the frostbite from the cold… not.

Took my other new glider, Little Cloud Spiruline 3 Large. Flew with Supair Escape airbag. My favorite minigliderharness. Soo playfull and easy to use. This flight my horns grew out fast and playing low in Gästrappet among skiers was fun with a glider soo precise and direct. No probs what so ever.

Now I’m back home, smiling, cooking some yummie food and playing with with our superdog Thim.

We have a new family member and he is Thim!

Jonna have wanted a dog for a long time. I have been saying no.

I was saying it’s too comiting, it will stop me from traveling, flying and soo on. I was selfish. I changed my mind. About time, I know…

Jonna found him on smartahundar.se. He was one of six little boarder collies. I could see that Jonna wanted one asap. I told her that we should buy one. During one of the tuesday evening touringsession in Åre, we decided that Thim was going to move to trostebacken. Said and done.

Thim the bandit…

Last wednesday we drove 800km to Vänersborg, stayed at my moms place and the day after we picked up little Thim. Since then we have not left his side.

Happy Jonna

Important eyecontact.

Mom and Thim checking for food…

Well i have to say I am happy about our new family member. I dont know realy what will come out of it but me and Jonna realy love our little Thim. He’s a superdog!

He is fantastic, clever and just everything a little dog could possibly be:-) He surprises us every day, for example traveling for 12 hours in a car and being very calm. Not getting carsick, not whining at all, just being lovely.

First steps on snow.

Still happy and sweet after a 12 hour carride…

Then when arriving in his new home in Trostebacken, being full of energy of course , mind it then we where knocked out… Soo he did his thang and then fell asleep with us He kind of figures things out fast.
