Something I really enjoy is triaging work emails or catching up on my technical reading list from the top of a mountain. This morning it was reading NSHipster’s excellent article on WWDC 2019.
Month: June 2019
Albishorn hike
Morning hike up the Albishorn: 8.6 km, 470m ascent, 2h15m, 14°C, ⛅️. Panorama view of Lake Zürich from the restaurant at the top (where I stopped for a coffee and a breather).
UFO teaser
Up next: LEGO Space starts to get really weird as aliens and flying saucers are introduced in the UFO subtheme.
RoboForce minifigures
RoboForce minifigures came in either neon orange or neon green color to match their mechs.
RoboForce Roundup
RoboForce, 1997 (4 sets)
2154: Robo Master
Feast your eyes on 2154-1: Robo Master, 1997. The largest RoboForce mech features a large cockpit, scorpion-like tail, a spaceship that launches off its back, and two astronauts. A delightfully ludicrous sci-fi build.
Steak tartare
Work from home lunch: homemade steak tartare
Alp cheese
I might not have made it all the way up Pilatus today, but at least I picked up some local cheese!
Aemsigen hike
Hiked halfway up Pilatus to Aemsigen this morning. We decided to turn back there because the weather was not very good. We’ll make another attempt next week. 5.7km, 910m ascent, 2h5m, 10°C. Halfway was still the 2nd hardest hike I’ve done this year!
Scuol trip, day 2
Today we hiked between the Engadin villages of Lavin and Guarda, ate lunch in Guarda, got a tour (in German) of Tarasp Castle, dinner at a steakhouse in Scuol, then relax at the spa. I could get used to this routine of spa after hiking!
