I'mmmm Baaaack

 Hi everyone, I am feeling 100% and the pain is gone and the snow is disappearing. Now I can find all the stuff that got lost, lol. Anyway, the weather is beautiful, the sun has been out for a couple of weeks and is supposed to be out for another week. It is warming up nicely. Here is what it looks like today.

                                     I did have one casualty

I think I can pound it back into shape with a heavy rubber mallet I have.

I finally hooked up my hot water on demand and I love it, no more heating water on the stove. I bought a big shower head which I forgot to take a picture of.

The red thing on the wall is my pump and the small trash can you see is where the water is stored. It works great.

                                      Here is Freddy's new home

He hasn't gone into it yet but, he has peed on it, lol. He will use it when the rain comes.

Well, that's it for now, I will have some interesting posts coming up. I finally got Freddy to run a long side the 6 wheeler now, I just have to figure out how to get a picture of him running. I have an idea but, I will try it first and see if it works out. Enjoy.

Reason for no posts

 Hi everyone, sorry for no posts lately but, it's for 2 reasons. One, Freddy still doesn't like going in the car or truck and fights me every time I try to put him in. Two, I am recovering from a minor rib fracture and my doctor told me to take it easy for 2-3 weeks. It hurts but, seems to be healing nicely.  I haven't been able to get out to take photos and nothing really new here. I do have a picture of Freddy watching 👀 the Iditarod sled dog race on 📺. 

It was so funny watching him. He actually watched it for quite awhile especially when the dogs 🐕 were at the starting line and barking. He and I are getting along good. One thing for sure, he has a hell of an appetite. Sunday, I made pancakes, sausage and eggs 🥚for both of us and he Wolfed it down in no time. The weather has been great, bright sunny days and about 40 degrees and the ❄ is melting.  Take it easy.

March 29 2021 VIETNAM VETERANS DAY

 To all my Vietnam Veterans brothers and sisters. 

WELCOME HOME

People didn't like us when we left and didn't like us when we returned but, we are the band of brothers and sisters.

We will never forget those who gave all and we will support the "22".

Thank you for your service.

Lots going on

 I've been pretty busy this past week. Spending money and clearing snow. 

Tried a new breakfast French toast and bacon🥓

N.Y. Steak, mixed vegetables. 

I bought a Cub Cadet tractor 🚜 with a snowblowr. 

If that wasn't enough, I got a great deal on a new 6 wheeler

Got extra brand new tires with it.

Got this bowl with an antler stand.

Filled it with Spice Drops

Finally hung the second bear rug

Got more ❄ snow

Well that should do it for now.  I will try to do a blog post a week. Enjoy.

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.
