Brutal Death by fire!

This summer I'm working for the national park, it wouldn't be interesting to write about that but today something weird happened. We were burning theese stacks of hay, leaves and branches. While watching the fire I saw a frog approaching the fire and then just jumping straight into the embers to an instant death. Now tell me if THAT isn't interesting!

Been working alot and it's all physical labor so you get really tired from work almost every day, on the positive side I get to be outdoors all day.
Been climbing abit less since I'm usually too tired after work. And lately my leg (knee and hip) got injured while wakeboarding. I really don't know what happened but for 5 days it was really hard to move my left leg. Wakeboarding was awesome since I miss snowboarding like crazy and it kinda feels like riding pow. I might get some pictures off myself wakeboarding at some point to share in a week or so.

This picture is from the morning I was on my way to take part in a sailboat race. We did get some wind eventually but at some point it got really booring when the wind just died.

I have been fishing alot more than the summers before, and I think that's enough about that because haven't gotten anything really big like a shark. But Tumppi sent me a cool picture from when we went fishing.






So winter is getting closer haha! I noticed that Vuokatti is building an indoor training facility with dryslope jumps and foampits, too bad thay will open in december.
I actually edited a new clip but since my connection is reaaaally weak I'll upload it later this week when I got time to take my laptop to the closest place with a fast connection.

But still this week!!!!

Check out JunkYard Super Summer Sale , last year I bought some shoes and sunglasses really cheap.

While waiting for the next edit, check this awesome "commercial" out. Will get you hyped for almost anything!

Wörk!

I'm back! I spent almost 3½ weeks out in the archipelago working and taking it easy.
Now I've been back for almost two weeks and I gotta say I've really used my time well because at the moment it looks like I got work at two different restaurants. I will prolly go mental working that much but at least I should be able to get some money saved, I need a GoPro camera for the winter and then I need to start saving money for a trip next spring, I just have to go surfing somewhere.
Last thursday we went out drinking with Kaarle (the guy we met at Riksgränsen) and had a great time. We started at my place and around the time we were about to leave Kaarle tells me that he can't go to any bar because he's too drunk, laff! The problem was solved by telling him that he wasn't that drunk. On the way to the bar we stopped a million times and just talked to random people on the street, by the time we got to the bar the clock was past 2am. We killed it on the dancefloor almost the whole time we were in there (I think we went to Tivoli) and then went for a snack with some people to McDonald's. For some reason Kaarle desided to bail and I continued to some afterparty with a group the a taught were all classmates, when in fact, only two of 8 (I think) people knew eachother.
The next day when I finally felt like I was in shape to drive, I picked up Lalli and we headed to the summerhouse for some fishing and drinking.
And that was my weekend, fishing, drinking and sauna. The weather was awesome almost the whole time and during the day you didn't even need wear a shirt since it was actually that warm, during the night again it got really cold, I guess summer is ending after all. Here is some pictures from our trip:
That shirt is awesome, we bought the same ones since you got 2 shirts for 10€ at the HongKong supermarket.


That Pike is actually kinda big, almost 5kg

For some reason I don't have any pictures of myself. All in all it was a good trip, we got enough fish to keep us interested in fishing every day, then again it's hard not to like just chilling in the boat the whole day when the weather is nice.

Here is some pictures from earlier this year when I played around with my phone and got some really nice pictures. Click for full size!




I know, really original of me to take pictures of flowers ^_^

So this week has been more or less about work and climbing. Noone wants to hear about booring work stuff but climbing/bouldering is awesome. Before I went to the summerhouse my hands had gotten used to climbing but now after almost a month long break it was a whole other story. My hands are killing me atm. This picture was taken on tuesday: 

That might not look so bad but after climbing today, it looked like someone had tortured my hands real bad. But it was all worth it, cleared a cupple of new lines which felt really good.
 I've been meaning to take bouldering pictures but somehow I never get it done. Maybe Panu could bring his camera some day when he comes climbing.
Seems like I have to wake up in 6 hours, someone said that you need to sleep every now and then.
I have no idea how I ended up reading quotes of Albert Einstein but I feel like I should share theese with you, that guy was a genious in so many ways.
