What a weekend, it was great

 I really enjoyed this weekend. I went to town on Wednesday and got my second Covid shot, it was snowing 🌨 that morning 🌄 but, it wasn't Sunny.

Alaska Native Medical Center

I started practicing taking photos 📷 with my 📱

These photos were taken about 8 pm.

I feel the phone did good but it is a bit hard to do my whole post by phone.

This is what made the weekend pleasant ☺ please welcome Freddy to the family 👪. 

I bought Freddy on Saturday from a musher who is selling his team so he can move to the lower 48. Freddy knows all his commands. He was a bit skiddish when I picked him up but, he has gotten used to me real fast.

I plan on buying a kicksled to hook him up and run him so he feels at home. I don't know if he can pull my dog sled but, I may try. I also bought a  dog line so,  he can be outside until I can trust him to not run off.

We went to a locally owned Supermarket called 3 🐻 and bought a fire ring so we can sit out at night with a 🔥under the stars🌟 and Northern Lights. 

Well, that's it for now, hope you enjoy😉 this post and now with Freddy here, I'm sure I will be posting more. Take care.

Lots of snow

 Hi everyone, we are getting lots of snow right now, it's coming down heavy as I type. It is beautiful, nice big flakes. My birds must have invited their relatives to visit because, I filled the feeders yesterday and it usually takes 3-4 days for them to empty them. Right now at 12:45 pm they are empty. I think I will wait a day or two until their relatives leave, LOL.

                             Heavy snow is pushing the trees down

There's 2 sawhorses there and my snowmachine trailer behind them

   It's been so cold here, I have used pretty much half of my firewood

                                        Making an appearance

This is a $600 jacket sold by Alaskan Outfitters, that a friend gave me because, he moved out of Alaska to a much warmer climate. I have the pants that go with it and they cost about $400. Nice gift.

                                 Looking from inside my outhouse

                     Looking towards the back from front of my cabin

                          My old faithful Ford F150, I love my truck

                          Gotta get my outhouse in the pictures, LOL

           As you can see, lots of firewood gone. I will replace it though

Splitting firewood for the night. I usually wait until around 11 pm to go out and split it, it so peaceful and the stars are out.

                           WATCH OUT, crazy man with an axe, lol

When I bring the wood in, I stack it under and behind the stove to help dry it out.

                         This is why I love splitting firewood at night

I will have to learn how to use my camera better or, just use my phone to take pictures. My phone takes great photos.

This is my new weather station,  my old one was to hard to see as it did not light up.

The two top numbers are, left for inside temp. and right for outside.

New living room photos

 Hi folks, I took new photos of the living room because, the first ones didn't do it any justice.

The kitchen is the next project. It mainly needs moving stuff around and maybe some extra shelves.  Hope you enjoy.

The remodel in the living room

 Well, the living room is pretty much done, just need a little more clean up.

                                       My new living room

So, what I did was put all new plywood on the walls and then, coated them with a polymer. I really like this much better than painted walls. I have a few more tweakings to do and I will put these pictures up when done. Now, if there is something you don't like let me know, not that I will change it, LOL. Anyway, more to come. By the way, I got my first covid shot, second one is in February. Take care and stay safe.

Remodel coming soon

 Hi folks, just letting you know, Sunday I will have a new post showing the new remodel.  I am really happy how it turned out and I think you all will like it as well. Just letting you all know. Hope you can make it Sunday.

Something new is coming

 Hi everyone,  well, as you all know, I sometimes just get an idea about something and just go with it. This is one of those times. I'm not sure what brought it on but, it's just something I feel needs to be done. When I built my cabin I should not have painted the walls, I liked it at first but, as the years went by it became very boring and made the cabin not look like a cabin.

 So, I have decided to give this cabin a whole new look, a more rustic look both inside and out. I will start inside and as the weather changes I will work on the outside. Believe me when I say it will look very different.

 Here is what it looks like now.

I know it's a it messy but, it won't be long. So, I just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know what is going on. We'll, that's it. Oh! By the way, I got my first Covid shot yesterday and will get my second shot on February 16. Take care.
