As a contrast, that's a photo from today:

Given this picture you can guess now where we are:

We have so many Mandarins from the little tree in our backyard that we really couldn't just eat them all. We gave some away and then decided to make some Mandarin Marmalade.

Here are the photos of what we did:

First, get about 2kg of Mandarins.

Next, peel them all, and get all the parts sorted and prepared (don't discard the pith, seeds, and peel as they are important for texture and taste):

Since a few days we have Mandarins from our tree in the backyard again. Feels like Christmas ...

And more is coming:

The tree is full with hundreds of Mandarins, we already harvested about 150 and the tree is still full.

I can't believe it, Microsoft is paying people to actually use their Search Engine "Bing".

And it never occurred to him, that making a search engine good might work, too? Interesting.

I absolutely, positively, definitely want to do this: overnight in a sphere up in the trees.

I have created a new blog just for the R1200GS posts and my general motorcycle posts. This blog here will remain just the private side for the time being.

The R1200GS blog can be found here.

Check this out.

The photo to the left is - in my opinion - an absolutely awesome mockup combining the original R80GS looks with modern elements from the R1200GS. Would love to see such a beast. It would probably be in direct competition with a Triumph Scrambler and the like. BMW would of course have to make some trade offs to come at least a bit closer to the Scrambler price tag, but still.

It will never happen - but it would be awesome.

Andrea planted tomatos again this year. They have a pretty good place behind our house where they get sun pretty much the whole day. Very yummy.
