Shopping......but not really the kind I like........

Well not too much happening around here – Training Sunday and Monday even though the trail was almost, almost too icy – it was still safe for the dogs but had it been much colder it would have been very slippery.  Monday nite it snowed and Tuesday it rained – freezing rain just for fun!  So today we have not trained for 2 days but Hermel (Bellerive’s dog handler) has groomed the trail so we will probably train tomorrow – even though it’s a bit close seeing as how there is a race scheduled for this weekend at Epiphanie (About 1.5 hours from here).  It is usually a fun race for the spectators and they have a big craft fair and lots of activities – originally the weather forecast called for rain this weekend but now it is supposed to snow both days!

What we did do today was wash dishes and get ready to go buy a new generator – the one we had fit in the compartment in the front of the trailer and we bought it from Sportsman’s Guide catalogue only 3 years ago – and of course only use it on weekends during the winter when we are at a race without an electric hook-up………so………$632 later we have a new one that fits in the space and we hope it lasts longer than the old one (the mechanic at Bellerive’s business’ shop thought the armature had gone bad and it would cost as much for a new one as buying a new generator!!)  Also had to go to Walmart while we were in Shawanigin and had to go to Canadian tire to buy mucho dog treats (for the dogs that don’t love going back into their box…) and tie-downs to keep the generator on the back of the truck on the way home.

So it looks like tomorrow training, and traveling to Epiphanie on Friday!
