no big old belly laughs.
The much anticipated first dog sled excursion went off rather well.
We had a couple small entanglements before going 10 ft. but after a few adjustments and strategizing with lines all went well.
Grandma and Matthew took turns riding, assisting pulling, or holding back on the down hill.
Going was mainly hard packed or road except for the lap around the sports field [Matthews’s idea] that was soft and sinky. We were all about knackered after that, even Siutik did a full belly flop for some minutes.
The weather was amazing for outdoor activity, has been for some time too. Highs of -3 to -4, partly cloudy to overcast, light snow flurries off and on, just has a clean fresh feel and look to it. Let’s hope those annoying winds of the last several years hold off a little longer too.
Sore joints and muscles, even Siutik is doing more than the usual amount of stretching this morning.
Some one in the comments section asked about price of Turkeys up here. $75 was mentioned; I thought “surely not that much”. In Northern yesterday a large turkey was prominent in a freezer, so I checked the price, 11 Kg Turkey for 77 bucks.
Not sure how this compares with southern prices but it is cheap compared to further north. Then further north does not have the weekly summer shipping we have here. I will get into food prices in more detail later.
For now I will take a little time to remember them, especially my Dad, who at 92 can’t get down to the RSL on special days like he used to, but is still the little battler.
Happy 600th post to me.

Yeah its wild some of the prices we hear,about on the north coast and the south coast.Can they really justify them,if they were called to task.I have heard stories of where the chain store have told locals to keep prices in line or we will put you out of business,not sure if true
HAPPY 600TH! : )
always great to check in and see what's happening in the northern part of my province.
Always nice to check your area too TB, thanks.
To Anon, not sure of price fixing, have heard talk and prices do puzzle, that's why I asked for authoritative body to take a look, more on that soon.
