What's the big roll of orange stuff in Pete's kit?

mine tape,used to mark areas of or make people aware of a hazard....

 

[Skaukraft]

Looks like I've got the 7th and 8th of at work, so don't be surprised if you suddenly get company.

 

[Twodogs]

Good man see you there

 

[Skaukraft]

We'll be in touch. I hope to prepare some traditional norwegian food with fermented trout, if youre up to itB-)

 

[MartinK9]

fermented trout, if youre up to itB-)

Wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Skaukraft]

Really? Did dyou like it?
Unfortunately it has to be the kind they have in the grocery store (which has a milder taste than the home made one), my mother couldn't get her hands of enough good quality trout this year, so she didn't make any.

 

[MartinK9]

My appologies, sometimes my humour transends translation.

I look forward to trying some

 

[Skaukraft]

Ah. I see.
No problem:-D

-14C at the lowest this weekend.
Visited my parents this weekend, and woke up at -20C this morning (somw 200km north of Oslo).
Looks like winter has settled now, but still not to much snow.
