Friday and Sat.

Didn't get a chance to "blog" yesterday because we never parked in the area that works best - strangely up by the clubhouse we can't get on the internet but if we are parked down in the racing area I can!! So that's where we are now!

So today I will say Happy Birthday to Lucas yesterday and today to Bec!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was the first day of 3 of the Fur Rondevous Jr. World Championship and the place was full of trucks and kids until 3 o'clock!! Mike Stitt, originally from Hesperia but now lives in Willow and his son Skeeter were here for Skeeter to race in the 7 dog race so we had a nice "catching up" visit with him.

Since we could not train and had trained the day before, we decided to do something really exciting......laundry.....from 5 weeks worth!!! Found the laundromat and spent $10 on 2 washing machines and had to buy laundry soap because the bottle that I had purchased planning for this day, was frozen!! I didn't really think it would but it did!! So 4 garbage bags of clothes $15 and 2 hours later, voila!!! clean clothes!

We woke up Saturday to pretty cold weather (-10) but as the sun came out it got up to 30! More kids and dogs around today - saw Sherry Johnson take off again today (yesterday she had a bit of trouble with her leaders nipping each other and didn't have a very smooth take off but today went better for her and she started in second place - didn't get to see the finish times by the time we got back last afternoon - perhaps today I will see them on the internet.

Probably the biggest event today was that it was the day we were supposed to take the stitches out!!! Randy decided that since he couldn't think of anything else to do he would do it himself....so I held the light and we got most of them out without too much problem - there's only one small area where it looks to me like he pulled the tissue apart pulling on the stitch. All in all, I think it is healing pretty well - I hope he doesn't do anything today to un-do the healing.....I suggested he could wait to have the stitches out till after training, but my influence doesn't carry much weight!.........at least in some things........

Randy is out training 16 miles with 8 dogs and then wants to run another team when he gets back - it is still sunny but as the sun goes down it gets cold fast - there are other open drivers out on the trail training as well like Buddy Streeper and Carolyn Johnson.

I will let you know if there are any "events" from today's training!
