Americano Blue's musher/mushing chat thread

[RezChamp]

I hope things work out for you, Char and Rose though. Actually everyone who wants to mush.
I guess I'm just getting too old and fussy now to bother with finding new ways to get active with my K9's.
May be looking at selling out in the next few years. Actually got lots riding on this year so we'll see what happens in the spring.
Any way, good-on-yah'all

Char
When you check in here LMK how your training is going. You planning on Eagle?
I just saw your site on web. I haven't been at work because of some health problems but when my insurance kicks in I wanna buy a cool of T-shirts. Love the design. And that color is pretty much my favourite. Of course I'll be getting 1L to wear as a T-shirt but I also want 1 XXL to fit over my coat to "show off" up here where I live and hangout and travel. Actually may want more. I'm thinking if you mail it I would hafta pay the shipping but I think it'd be awesome to have them.
Deal?

Hi my girl
Sorry. Been busy, AGAIN.
Char has a fundraiser site thingy. I typed in "Morrison Racing Kennels" and the fund raiser site thingy was further down.
I couldn't navigate it but then again I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to computers/internet/technology.

And how are you doin Blue? Training? Get to mush them Sibes again yet? How's hour snow cover and temp? Trails froze enuf?
My trails really slushy. Geez, I have little lakes around my dogs...AGAIN

It's starting to cool now though so I think this snow(it's snowing right now) is gona stay. Not quite enuf to sled tho'. Besides there is stil open water and thin ice. Don't wanna traumatize my dogs mentally or physically. Especially since I'm training the younger ones.
Blue, if you get ahold of Char please let her know she can PM me if she wants. You can to if ever you feel a need. Me of course Rosie could too. For that matter any1 could eh.
I'm goin back outside. I get back on later.

e! We got snow! Bout 5-6inches. It's really sticky because it's warm out. Like -2*C or maybe like +28*F.
According to the health meter on this phone I put on over 17 kms. I don't know what that is in miles. 10 maybe. I did only 4 with the dogs. They were getting too hot. The rest of the distance is just me busy about the yard.
Thought y'all might enjoy some pix.
Gona try now.

All I see is a bunch of numbers, letters and other symbols so I'm gona press"Submit"and see what happens.

OK it looks like it worked. First is misimokoman(big knife(what we call Americaners because of their swords)), then masinasiw(partly marked(pinto)), followed by naheyikok(in a timely fashion(just in the nick of time)). Then the boys, sipikasiw( he is blue), nikanastim(the foremost doc) and ayimisiw(stern in manner). Then Max(dad) and Pipoon(winter(mom)).
Then there's the sled I made to help me haul whatever, and the wood burning cook stove I use to cook for my dogs. Right there is 2 pots of meat scraps to add flavour to the 50 lbs of other (raw) meat and fat I got off a road killed deer and what ever was left of the elk we harvested for our family dinner table. I added 4 cups each of white rice and wheat and a cup each of rolled corn and barley. After everything cooked really good it also smelled really good. It reminded me of the smell in my Nana's kitchen. If I hadnt just finished a huge plate of ribs with potatoes, carrots and peas I might've joined my dogs with their supper. So...anyways...I mixed up everything with 5 gallons of kibble into a big tub and "voila" , a feast for my dogs. Then I watered them all. Aw, they were so happy they sang for about 10 mins. I joined in. Felt good.
Apparently our weather is supposed to get down to -10*C by Tuesday and progressively colder right through to next week right down to -25*C.
That's good. I hope it does, because I went for a walk across an opening today and broke through the still very thin ice into over 1/2 ft of water. So maybe with the upcoming cold I be able to hit my trails.
How's the weather where you are Blue?
How about your weather Char?
Rose?
Everyone else???

We've been busy around here lately. Training dogs, getting the ranch ready for winter, training horses, etc.... It's hasn't been cold enough for snow lately. This week should though. We've got half an inch maybe, not enough for anything...

Rez: Your dogs are beautiful (or handsome ) as always! The shirts: if you order through the website I think they send the shirts directly to you. I'm not sure. I've been kinda just experimenting with designs...

We are suppose to get snow this Thursday. I'm working on getting some dogs from one of my friends so hopefully I get them before the snow. I'd love to take them out.

We've been busy around here lately. Training dogs, getting the ranch ready for winter, training horses, etc.... It's hasn't been cold enough for snow lately. This week should though. We've got half an inch maybe, not enough for anything...

Rez: Your dogs are beautiful (or handsome

) as always! The shirts: if you order through the website I think they send the shirts directly to you. I'm not sure. I've been kinda just experimenting with designs...

We've been getting dusted with snow lately. Melts before we can ever hope for more. Hopefully the snow will hit us both soon.

Thanks. I work hard at keeping my dogs as healthy as I can. Your compliment have my ego a little boost there.
The one laying down is pipoon. She is the matriarch of the pack. She is 9 now. No more babies from her. I just sled with her when we ain't goin far.
She's treated kind of like a celebrity now.
