As most people know by now Western Europe is hit very hard by a early and very harsh winteroffensive. Right now we have broken the records for most snowy days in a row, previous record dated since 1945!

And knowing  the winter officially starts only tomorrow!

Well the cold and bad weatherconditions don’t keep me inside , but work in the opposite way, no more fun then chop wood in when its freezin’… and offcourse we do work in style…. with the right machinery…

Wood is my second hobby…:)

For those who wants to know, this is Belgian inland oak, trees been cut to place the new BBT building, well somebody has to handle the “left over” of  it…:)

and finally for the records, the tractor is a 1958 Porsche Diesel standard, 2 cil, sold new in Belgium… and my best friend for these kind of jobs… together we’re very strong!

Stolen VW bus returned

SPOKANE, Wash. — After 36 years it is finally home.

Michelle Squires’ 1964 VW Bus was trailered back to Spokane this week from California where it was found last year.

The van was stolen from an upholstery shop in the Browne’s Addition area of the city in 1974. Squires thought it would never be seen again, then a customs agent discovered the stolen van at the Port of Los Angeles.

The van had been restored and was on its way to Germany. It never made it. Squires was notified the van had been found, and she went to work to get it back. An attorney in Oklahoma saw the story in the Wall Street Journal and offered her services pro bono.

Michelle’s insurance company, which paid her for the van in the 1980s, decided to auction it in December 2009. Michelle Squires bid on the VW, but was outbid. It was sold for somewhere between $30,000 and $40,000. But a paperwork issue kept the van in Southern California, allowing Michelle to buy it back.

She and her boyfriend traveled to California last week to pick up the van and trailer it back to Spokane.

When it arrived Tuesday afternoon, a party was held at the Cathay Inn Restaurant to celebrate the return. Michelle plans to take the first family trip in the van in three decades to California with her grandchildren this May.
