firefire Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hi. As I can remember it the plates looked about 15 mm thick. They are split off of big rocks. The edges also seems to be finished with hammer and chisel. You may search for " ottaskifer " on Google. Hammer, chisel and man/ woman is still the key elements in producing skifer plates. Greetings Stein Hi. Eddie is still running with out problems. We are now in Kil, Sweden. Ferry from Sandefjord, Norway to Strømstad, Sweden.Que in SandefjordThe main roads in Sweden are much better then the roads in Norway. But you must hit the more local roads to find the nice places.Here is nice gas station. Our cabin for the knight At this place you can rent a place for a car, tent, rv.

BigBrother-84 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Sun is still shining. Stein, nice trip, thanks again for the pictures! Just for fun, at this time of the year, is there a complete sunset followed by a complete "black" night, or jut a kind of twilight? Or maybe no sunset at all? Last month, we had a family trip at James Bay (north extremity, at its junction with Hudson Bay). Two pictures below, one at sunset (midnight), the other just before 03:00 AM. I figure that the full black night is no longer than about one hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month, we had a family trip at James Bay (north extremity, at its junction with Hudson Bay). Two pictures below, one at sunset (midnight), the other just before 03:00 AM. I figure that the full black night is no longer than about one hour. Hi. Now past the middle of August we have a few hours dark night. Sunset is 21.30 and sunrise 05.40. Between 00.00 and 04.00 its dark. One month ago there was no part of the night that was really dark. This picture was taken 21.31. The deers were photographed 22.05. Hunting season starts 1. of September. In the forest I usually have to quit hunting around 21.30 because of the fading light. In the morning you will usually be able to visualise the deers around 05.30. But that is of course at the beginning of the hunting season. Before Christmas we have 5 or 6 hours of day light. Eddie got a new Power Steering Pump. The tool I used to change over the pulley worked ok. If I ever find the lost spring from the old pump I will fix it and keep the old pump as a spare or sell it. Started out today trying to figure out how to avoid the dome light turning on when opening the doors. Understood soon enough that is not a simple procedure. Any suggestions ? Since the map lights doesnt work I took down the dome light. The two contacts for the dome light and the map light were broken / almost broken. And no power in the green/ yellow wire for the map lights. And dont remove all these panels looking for the wire. The wire is not accesible behind the panels any way. The wire was corroded off down at the floor under the seat belt. I pulled the wire out with a rope connected to its end. Then it will be possible to pull the wire back up to the dome light after repairing the connection. The problem is finding a new "she pin" for the connector down at the floor and new connectors for the dome light. Any suggestions where I might get these ? Greetings Stein.
