Update for Saturday!!!

-->

Another big day is here!!!!  Race at St. Luc-de-Vincennes!!!!  We are in the parking lot and stayed last nite (we did run out of gas at about 7 but Randy got up and changed tanks so we had heat again……….and then could sleep another hour!)  There are again 17 open teams and over 40 6 dog (when we first raced in Quebec there were usually 60+ 6 dog teams and over 20 open teams).  Randy is running 14 dogs with Dozer and Greg in lead (the crazies – one jumps on me to start and the other pulls back on the neck line – it takes 2 people in the start chute to control them!!)  He goes out 13^th (his lucky number because he was born on July 13) and right after him is Claude Bellerive – so he is thinking that if/when he passes him he will “catch a ride” (meaning that our team will try to keep up with him after they are passed).

Not much to report for the week passed – trained everybody on Wednesday and most days, including today very cold – near 0 degrees every day  - got some snow (enough to have the drive where we park at Bellerive’s plowed out by the end loader from the business).  Oh yeah, and I learned a new solitaire game!!  (Couldn’t be on the internet or make too many calls cause we had almost run out of data)

So we will see what today brings!!  I will report after the race!!!
