Wednesday update

Trained with the new sled on Monday - Randy noticed a big big difference - instead of sliding around icy corners (which the whole trail is because it's still cold but no new snow for over a week) the sled actually turns around the corners!!!!  So if it saves him from even one wipeout it will be worth it!!

Tuesday went to Shawinigan thinking they would be done with our generator because the company owner called Monday to say it would be..............got there and they had not received an new solenoid yet so it wasn't done!!  Did go out to lunch at St. Hubert's - a specialty chicken restaurant - I had Bankok salad and Randy got his favorite Quebec dish, Poutine!!!  gravy and meat and cheese with gravy over french fries!!!  Also went to Walmart and gave them a bunch more money-  I have to be careful what I buy what with the freezer not working and keeping most of our food in the truck boxes to keep it cool enough without the fridge staying cooler than 50 degrees.......  so mostly stuff I can eat pretty quickly...

Today we trained again and went 5 miles to take the edge off the dogs - it still didn't take it off - they barked most of the afternoon wanting it to be dinner time............

Should do some laundry tomorrow so we will have clean outerwear for the race this weekend - we are waiting for Melanie to let us know for sure where the race site is - I can't get the info to come up on their website, and the explanation is in French!  I do know that it will take us about 4 hours to get there if not longer - quite a bit north of us by Lac St. Jean - more later!
