Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

Back from hockey game. Our home team lost. Good enough. A lot of them acted like idiot goons not hockey "players" "playing" a hockey "game".
It's still snowing here. We. Got about inches. Dogs didn't come out of their houses to eat. Weird eh. They sleep on top their houses in a blizzard and it's just snowing and they won't even come out to eat. Hmph. Weird dogs

Pipoon and Max are in the pen. He's a real gentleman compared to most males I have.
I think the pups will be born around my birthday. That'd be cool.

It's snowing here rightnow. Nice big fluffy flakes, swirling and twirling rightnow but small flakes earlier. probably again later. With winds from 20MPH to 40MPH it looks like blizzard on the lee side of the house when the snow gets blown off the roof. Definitely "wood fire" heat weather.

I got freaked out last night. My dogs were making a racket about midnight. It wasn't like when a stray comes around. I knew something was up by the way they were barking and yelping and yowling. I got my headlight and on second thought grabbed my big flashlight.
The dogs quit making a racket, but I was halfway there anyway.
For an odd reason I stopped at the feed shack and grabbed the hatchet. Now keep in mind there is a trail through the bush to a clearing where I keep my dogs, the feed shack and the gear hut.
When I got to the clearing I put my headlight on. The dogs of course knew I was there but some kept looking south. Ooooo, forgot to mention there was a south wind.
I circumnavigated the area and then walked upwind for a bit then saw eyes reflecting. I instantly got the willies. I knew it wasn't a coyote wolf or deer by the height and color of the reflection. It was a cougar. I didn't go any further. I just backed up closer. When it looked away I started backing up towards the dogs. The next time I saw the reflections it was about a hundred yards further east of where I first saw it. I had seen that color reflections and movements before. Never saw one in daylight. Freaked me out. So I turned around and quite quickly walked back to the dogs knowing they would be OK.

Well that's my news for the day.
TTFN. Going to a hockey game. Catch up to y'all later.

awesome

Is that 12*F or 12 *C?

 

[RezChamp]

Oh my. It's snowing pretty good now. I can't see my nieghbor's light. Mind you it is a bit better than half a mile away.
There should be enough tomorrow to go in the bush and get firewood.

12F





Wow. That's almost as cold as here. At 5:00PM We were at -12*C which is about +4*F. I don't know how cold it s rightnow but it seems this weather system has stalled out right over us here so I checked the accuWeather radar and that's what happened alright.
At least it ain't -50*C. Knock on wood.

 

[RezChamp]

fun.

Yup. Nice eh. Work and have fun doing it. It don't get much better than that lemme tell ya.
Oh yeah, I watched them links. Only later did I realize it was meant for SternRose. Sorry.
I utilize a different method that allows me to install and replace snaps in a jiffy. The way shown on that video takes too long. Also, it has proven to be a tad dangerous in my experience. I'd like to show y'all how i do mine but I don't know how to load up videos and I don't know if anyone has a video on the net.
Matter of fact Ive never seen anyone else use my method. Except my niece.
