Amateur sled dog training tips. In response to my nieces call for help I must say there are no bridles for dogs unless you consider muzzles a bridle. Dogs being different than horses you want a dog to pull with their chests not their necks. These harnesses seem to put the pressure and the load where it needs to be, on the chest. Now if you want to train the dog to pull, they are not like a mule where you can drive them. Most trainers train a dog in a team and with a team-sort of like ponying a horse. If you lack a team, you become the team. Know this a decent size dog has amazing strength so don't just attach a brakeless sled behing them because in the panic they and sled will be off and out of sight and tangled and ---well the result is one helluva wreck. Secure the dog first-you will lead it and keep it on a lead separate from the harness rig. Next the load, if too light, put a slight well secured load on the sled. Then lead the dog to get them used to a load or person behind them.

I do not normally post lingerie but for my brother, I could not resist. It would make a nice addition to the collection of brassieres he already has. Come out of the closet bro.

A dumbass decides to stretch out on the center line somewhere up North. Fatigue and driving can give you the urge I suppose,

What he failed to take into consideration was the log truck coming

up the road behind him. I found him, flatter than a fritter.

The boobs have nothing to do

with the other two photos.

Just a cheap trick to get your attention, I call one boob Denali and the

other Mt. McKinley. As for the other two

photos real cool-flying salmon.

Don Sheldon

Famous Alaskan bush pilot died January 26. 1975.

He didn't need to walk in the steps of his father in law, Bob Reeve.

He made fresh tracks as he proved each time he landed on Denali.

Cancer claimed him finally but boy, what a legacy he left behind.

Tang Hua Meets American Ingenuity

***

Now why do they need compact editions of these bugs anyhow? I still think a rotor should be added but then I remembered that Hughes Helos had something along the same size and shape.

American technology wins again. The earlier American version of the tang hua was fully a recreational vehicle-tops that China.

The Tang Hua-

We will soon look like a space age Barney Rubble. To drive this makes you the laughing stock to the world. Now add a rotor on top-great helo, Port holes-submarine.

Lets see what China produces next-The TangK

Another Oh Shit Moment, where did this happen-port of Anchorage?

Give me the damn gaff, the gaff I said, the gaff.

Season was for catch and release only, threw it back.

I stalked this beauty several miles...

When I think of Don's place, this is what instantly comes to mind.

It's almost time for the winter fun and games to begin. Yukon Quest starts in Fairbanks on

Feb 9. And it's only 44 days to the Iditirod, March 1. Stan needs to haul snow to Anchorage

for the ceremonial start, they claim a lack of it. Share from your bounty Prattler.

Walker Lake, Nevada

___________________

My load of onions which I picked up in Parma, ID and hauled to Buena Park, CA led me down a course through Nevada backroads, in this case US 95. I left Fallon behind me and when I came upon Walker Lake, I checked my GPS to make sure I was still in Nevada. A beautiful and rather large lake it was that I was driving along. This lake may rival Klaune in size. Supposedly some rather large trout have been caught here. Signs indicated one should watch for desert big horns as well. How deep-I am not certain but the nearest town of any size has the U.S. Navy Undersea Warfare Base located in it.
