Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

[RezChamp]

It's been in the 50-60 F
Not exactly to hot for the dogs but for me. I'm out of shape lol but I plan to start them again Monday

Yes I can certainly relate to being out of shape.
I am
Starting to get a bit of a belly on myself.
It's getting kinda hard to train my dogs 1 or 2 at a time whilst jogging.
Mind you, my body is pretty much banged up...... and getting old.
That's why I bought the rig. Gee.... I'm gona be 60 in a cpl years. I'm beginning to think that might have something to do with me not having the enegy I had a few years ago.

I can't tell which pic is where. All I see are a series of letters & numbers & stuff.

Oh. Now I see them. That's a lot of data.
Any ??'s y'all may have I'll do my best to ansr.
The last 2 are of a parking brake.
The front wheels are from wheel barrow. I put them on instead of the originals because these have bearings. The others(like them still on the rear) have brass bushings.

I need a rig, any recommendations?

 

[Americano Blue]

This your dogs and rig?

Yes. I got the ATV working and since it was no longer pouring down rain, we were able to get out and run.

The trike is much better for soft and/or rough and/or wet/ther terrain. The 4wheeler is better for roads and maintained trails / smoother terrain.
I am referring to the tires in these instances. If I could afford it I would probably get something like the trike but with suspension all around and also with a suspension seat with good padding. And of course a a bumper/brushbow.
If I were you I would keep checking out the local"est" buy,sell and trade classifieds for something that rolls and has brakes. Even a stripped quad or trike.
Suspension is nice. But ya, buy, sell and trade classifieds. Maybe you will have good luck and score something from there
Or if you wana get ambitious you could save up for 1 of them awesome dry land rigs I posted pix of back in July 2015
Here's a pic

I actually took a team of 3 on the trike.
Of course about 30or40 yards from the staging line the the tire behind my left foot goes flat.

Your signature has been blowing people away.
Awakened some slumbering spirits. Spirits of women that were asleep to their power.
Thank you so much for that deep, deep teaching or whatever it's referred to.
LOL.... People think me so wise to say such as that "teaching" and think me so humble to empower women with that knowledge.
Of course I tell them about my mushing dotrs on BYC's mushing thread, how young you's are and how much insight and inspiration you's give me in one way or another. Then they get all wowed that I get inspiration and direction from young women and they think even more highly of me. Now I think I know what the singer meant when he sang"It's hard to be humble". LOL
Thanks ladies. I am so proud of you all. Stay true to your spirits. Always be you. You are the magic.
Oh my...getting mushy here..... And sickeningly philosophical .....in a corny...quoting all them little anecdotes (is that the word?)

Anyway...
It's cloudy and raining ......again.

That's amazing!

Awww shucks, I'm blushing. I'm so glad I started this thread and got the chance to talk/meet to you. It's amazing that I am able to talk to someone who has so much more incite into Mushing and dogs than I have and that I am able to be a blessing to you too it seems.
