IT'S JUST NOT GETTING COLD!!!

 

Let me please introduce, Rosie the Robot!!!!  she is new at the Pine Stump Junction bar!!!  She is just settling in there and actually they are having a naming contest, so for me to call her Rosie is just a throw-back to the Jetson's and their housekeep "Rosie"  we didn't see her in action tonite when we went to dinner with Laura and Bruce (they were not very busy so the waitress said she hadn't even had to "warm her up" and use her today!!  Mostly she delivers orders and picks up the dirty dishes...........pretty amazing to see out here in the wilderness!!!!  They purchase her because they can be swamped at peak times for snow machines and side by side/4 wheeler seasons!!!

It's a little difficult to pick out the actual reason for the picture from all the decorations, but this is what it looks like to be out of power and wanting to plug in and run as many electrical things as possible in a power outage!!! (tv, internet, computer, microwave, lights, fan for the furnace, etc..............)

Good last couple of days of training before it gets too warm and rains for a couple of days - ran 2 teams yesterday 14 miles and decided that it had been far enough for the 7 month old pups to keep training - they are doing super good but we don't want to go to far for "developing" bodies - even though 2 of them are bigger that most of the 20 adult dogs we have!!!  So yesterday we only hooked up 2 10 dog teams and it was incredible how much less work it seemed!!!   You would never imagine just running 5 dogs less would make a big difference but it really does!!!  especially not having to harness Marble, who is like harnessing and octopus!!!

So today we thought it was going to warm up too fast and be raining when we could train in the cooler morning - so I am just to about to get into the shower and Randy changes his mind and says lets go train.....so I start getting dressed...........then it starts pouring.........then we're not training...........so I'm almost in the shower...........and were going to train..............then it starts raining again..........finally we did not - instead I vacuumed and made chocolate chip keto cookies for Randy and we went out to dinner!!!  Not much planned for the next couple days but we will see how the weather is and may be training ======  only 11 weeks until the Stage Stop race in Wyoming!!!!

Speaking of that and indecisiveness..........Randy said yesterday that maybe the price of fuel is going to be too high to travel up to Alaska this year, even though it will be the 25th anniversary of us getting married there!!!  so we shall see............
