Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

[RezChamp]

I think of Hobbits. 

LOL. Long days, small stomach. Cold uses up a lot of energy so I gota eat smaller high calorie foods. Bacon is pretty good, fatty steaks and chops are good, nice fat roasted ribs, mmmmm. Lots of nuts, loads of fruit & veggies. Sometimes I eat about 6 times a day when it's really cold. But the last few days just 3-4.

I got pics of the Dam and Sire.
I'll post in a little bit.

That'd be nice. I like dog pix. And ya, it's good to know some background of potentials

I cut wood this afternoon. Left it in piles out there tho Bkuz my shoulder is hurting again. Stubborn old fool, I should've just stayed home and did my chores. It was such a glorious day tho.
Would've been such a great day to mush. Haha, I should've mushed instead of go to the wood lot.
Hey tho, I do have my new sled trail ready now. Did some lighter things the last few days. New bridle, new shock cord, new gangline and hooklike, new hook and holster and new runner plastics. I even have a fully stocked camp pack. Done for the day now. Big supper of a rack of breasted ribs with almonds and garlic cloves side of cheese and sautéed onions and a desert of a chocolate chip cookie. All washed down with almond milk(beverage).Dang, I feel like a king. Life is good.

Check back later to see what/who I can bug.

Yeah. I have REALLY high metabolism so on days that I'm at home, I will eat more than my dad and little sister combined. Maybe even my dad and big sister. On school days I eat breakfast at home and at school then whatever I can get my hands on for lunch (salad, main dish, fruit, etc.) Plus a big dinner. So almost 4,000 (good) calories a day. In like 5th grade, I was eating about 2,500 calories a day. But I have never been fat/chubby. I just work a lot and have a very high metabolism. Even summer days I eat a lot.

At least you got some stuff done and are ready for when you are better. And yummy! Even though I just ate, my mouth is watering.....

Anyways, I might finally have a mentor! She only has 4 dogs but that's fine. In exchange for mushing, she gets to ride one of my horses every once in a while. Next weekend I might get to go with her to a race to watch (she will be racing) and I will get to talk to other mushers and see if anybody has any dogs for sale there. She said that sometimes there are, so fingers crossed! Lol. On the plus side, we will probably run the dirt roads by house so I don't have to go far. And we have the back 40 acres to run around on if we want. I'm so excited!

EATING.....I don't even know how many calories I consume but I know that it's a lot.
I can't say they're all good though. I eat candy like it's going out of style sometimes too.

MENTOR & MUSHING..... Awesome. Good for you. I hope it works out good.
