Even more snow!!

 Didn't really technically measure it but it seems we have about 8 to 10 in of snow on the ground!!! 

Randy seems to have given up on the "loser snowmaking" so today and yesterday we ran the dogs with our"wimpy" snow machine (which I might as has no back rest for me)

It was not as cold today temperature wise but I still managed to get cold feet out on the trail!  I had ordered some new Sorel boots good down to -100 degrees but had some trouble getting them to apply the 15% discount through PayPal so I ended up cancelling the order and instead today found a Sorel outlet supply store and got the same boots that sell for $180 for $55 (including shipping of $10)  Randy thinks they won't turn out to be the same quality boot but we shall see!!

We trained today with 8 dogs and the snow machine - Bruce and Laura are training with the sled but we don't feel confident the sled could be stopped with putting the snow hook down but don't think the trail is hard enough for the hook to hold - so still with the snowmachine

Went to Newberry again last nite and went to the hardware - it took us 45 minutes and they were just about to close but it's good Randy got what he needed!

After the hardware we went to the board meeting of the Tahquamenon race committee as we often do just to see how things are going - and offering advice if asked for.  this was the last meeting until the week before the race when the draw the bibs for starting sequence - they are going to have the meeting/draw at Waltman's so we will be there!!
