    It’s time I step in here. Good morning everyone, a brisk 4* when the coffee went on. Waiting on a little more light, two of the boys and I are loading up snow machines and heading north for a caribou hunt. Stay safe and all have a blessed day.

    Good morning, members.

    Chilly start. 32⁰/46⁰ overcast.

    The deck is still wet from yesterday's rain. Icy spots on it this morning.

    I'm glad that I know of nobody trying to fly this weekend. It'll be interesting to see what college football games are impacted.

    I'd like to move some wood to the deck rack. We've been burning around the clock.

    After a trip for groceries, I plan to make a pot of soup.

    Be safe
    Be healthy

    Good morning, ya'll. Hope ya'll have a SUPER SATURDAY. Goat Town Weather Channel says it's 30⁰ earlier this morning, heading to upper 50's. Had an overnight fire...well it was almost out at 3AM when I woke up, had just enough coals that some fat wood and splitter scraps got it going again.
    Heading out to haul more oak home this morning, probably watch the DAWGS play this afternoon, then maybe dinner with friends, got some birthday rewards to use before they expire.
    Be blessed, be a blessing
    GOD LOVES YOU AND ME

    Do you have room for one more? Caribou is one animal I have wanted to hunt but somehow I never did. But now I won't because I have stopped hunting effective this year. My heart has not been in it (and many other things) since I lost Judy. I do still have many good memories.

    My son is stuck in Seattle. Next flight is scheduled for Monday. That's one of the hazards of having to fly long didtance.

    Morning all. Dark outside. I think we might get a bit of clearing but the forecast is for wind again. The coast here has really been hit with lots of rain and wind.

    Psalm 119: 1- 8
    א Aleph
    1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
    2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—
    3 they do no wrong but follow his ways.
    4 You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
    5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
    6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.
    7 I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
    8 I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.

    Happy Sabbath everyone

    Sorry to hear that you’re not getting into the woods to hunt and may have missed some caribou opportunities. You never know what may pop us. Unfortunately we are in the low cycle of caribou and if it’s not tough enough. We ran the truck 36 miles up a unmaintained for the winter (Taylor Highway) that runs from the Alaska Highway to Eagle. Through Chucken, dropped the snow machines are made a 2 hour run towards Chicken to only find. The fog socking in all visibility. I was with my 6 year old and we had a beautiful day.

    Today’s the 55th birthday and we are going back out to bou hunt as we are getting closer to sun rise. Hopefully Jay (15) joins us today. I missed him yesterday!

    Its 16* and hopefully we get a little warmer and no fog.

    Didn’t see any bulls, winter the bulls are skillet heads and girls have antlers. We had a a long ride up to the hunting grounds only to find it socked in with clouds or fog. I had a great hunt with 2 of my kids. Then we went to a local hill, kids had tubes and the tubed and we use the snow machine and sled to ferry them to the top. Had a nice bonfire there, hot coco and coffee. Then little fella and I just got home from a 20 mile snow machine ride. We had to do a little trail maintenance, cut a few trees and some brush.

    Good morning. We are at in full blown fire season now through April. My buddy and I shot 16 grouse without trying too hard, other than waking many miles a day in search of deer sign to hunt, which was minimal to say the least. Moose sightings and sign are up which is nice to see.

    That can be nasty when snow is on all the brush. Sounds like you had a good time with the kids. Remember before we had snow machines? When we got one it was great as we could get to places where we couldn't normally get to. Had some fun too. I remember when several of us found out how much fun it was to climb hills.

    Opening day for rifle deer season. It is strange that I'm not hunting this year. I guess all good things must come to an end...
