This weekend, we went to Den Helder for a classic, car- bike- boat-event. We went to
Den Helder on Saturday morning and spend the night in a hotel and returned home on
Sunday evening.

We saw a lot of beautiful cars, bikes, trucks and boats and I made a small boattrip with
a view friends. There were bands playing, there was enough to eat and drink and the weather
was very nice so we had a good weekend.
Not only did we enjoy the event in Den Helder but on our way to Den Helder, we visited
some old friends and on our way home we visited my parents.

My wife bought a new secondhand desk yesterday and today I
removed the old desk and put the new desk in place.
The new desk
Installing the desk was the easy part. Installing the computer with
(almost) all the wiring out of sight was a lot more work but now
it is done and it looks nice.

A big part of every working day, I spend sitting in a chair. A
chair in the train, a chair behind my desk or a chair in a
meeting room. To compensate a little for that, I try to walk for
at least half an hour at every lunchbreak. In Amsterdam, in
Rotterdam, in Woerden or where ever I have to work.
Today I am working in my home office via Internet and so I could
walk that half hour in my own familiar environment.
Beautiful nature, just five minutes walking from my home
Fortunately, I live in a beautiful area. One of the few area's in
the Netherlands that is not completely flat. Today I walked to
the Noordpolder, a unique nature conservation area. It is on the
border of the hills of the Brabantse Wal and the clay soil polders
of Zeeland.

Every time I go to work in Amsterdam, the bus I have from the trainstation on
Schiphol Airport rides along one of the runways. There is a plane spotters area
near the McDonalds and today, on my way home, I left the bus at the busstop there and spend
some time taking some pictures of planes with my old Minolta Z10 camera.

After half an hour I took the next bus to the trainstation and went home.

One of the few things I did not like too much on my BMW is that it is not so
smooth at low revs because of the emission standards. Especially on wet roads
and roundabouts that can be annoying and even dangerous.
Yesterday, John, from Motorservice Ossendrecht, gave me an Power FRK unit
to try. It is plug and play. Just mount it on the airfilter sensor connector and it
works. It really does and now the bike runs smooth, even at low revs.

This morning I went back to Ossendrecht to buy the unit and on my way home
I took the shortcut through the polder, on some dirtroads. Because it had been
raining. my bike was covered with mud so when I came home, I had to
clean it.

Today I wrote my first articles for RegioActueel since I returned from my trip to
Gibraltar and Morocco.
At first I went to the fair in Ossendrecht and then to Hoogerheide for the jumble sale
at the Lucasplein.
