Sunday at the auctions...

Me and my dear K spent the day in Västerås at the auctions getting som real good deals, a bunch of Kamasa tools for almost nothing, some Skulltuna Messing pieces, a Junghans travel clock, 2 vintage wrist watches from Tissot & Certina, 2 binoculars but the best part of the day was getting 2 great lots. One was a Brännvinsshatull from Palmgrens but the killer was a Zeiss Super Ikonta III in it's original casing and with the manual, soo cool. K bought a Junghans station clock and we got some other stuff in the boxes so all in all a good day....

Enzo has left the building...

My best friend and companion for the last 16 years Enzo Ferrari had been in a fight with a dog, fox or other cat three weeks ago and had a bad bite over his back. My vet Jesper Asp did his best medicating him, draining the wounds and this weekend Enzo was doing real good, I was hoping for many more years in his company but this morning it all took a turn for the worst, he could not walk and was in alot of pain so all I could do was take him to the vet and let him go to sleep, he was in so much pain and I saw the relief in his eyes when he dozed off. It hurts and I miss him alot but time will heal my heart knowing that Enzo's in Cat Heaven looking out for me.....

Me and my Dear K spent a week visting friends & family at one of the places I just love away from Mosta Hill, staying at Kyl Strandbad relaxing on the beach a couple of days and the rest of the time visiting, shoping flee markets, eating great food and celebrating my 55'th birthday. First we checked in with Kent "Ryssen" at his new  Norrvalla MC shop in Ystad stuffed with Royal Enfield, Ural and cool Kicker mini choppers. My realtive Torsten Erasmie was getting his Galleri Vik ready for the summer show as we dropped by to say hello. On my birthday we had a great lunch at Börje Olssons Skafferi in Simrishamn, later we rummaged at Karossgården in Gladsax. We shopped great produce and ran in to Swedish rock legend Ulf Lundell at Orelunds in Vik, we checked out great boat stuff at Skillinge Skeppshandel, interior design at Hylkegården and just chilled in the Brantevik, Skillinge area....

Fat Chick in da house...

It's been years since I last owned a Bug, way back in the mid 70's I had a green 1966 1300 with a Porsche 912 motor and 5-speed that was used and abused at late night street races around Stockholm, those were the days. Yesterday good friend R let me take home his old 1303S Fat Chick, red and worn but it's a Big Edition with the fancy interior, fake wood dash and 5.5" rims and that was in HOT 1974....

Mystery boat...

Yesterday I went with my good friend Max of Hot Rods by Max to pick up a boat he found, it's in aluminium, around 4 meters (13 feet) and looks like a 60's Cadillac with a bit VW Beetle in the nose. I have never seen anything like it in that size, I have seen late 50's, early 60's Chris Craft with similar fins down the sides but they are much larger. Anyone who have seen anything like it or knows what it is please leave a comment....

Våffeldagen...

Today we celebrated that spring officially has arrived, here in Sweden a tradition is to eat waffels with your friends and we did, a great spring day, a bit chilly but plenty of sun and a fire kept us all warm and cosy...
