Hey, I wear shorts and a "T" shirt 365 a year too.

It's just under all the other stuff I have to wear.

Ha, ha, ha...what a hoot! I'm gunna print that photo out and blow it up for a poster. Do you drive that front end loader in that 'to-die-for' foot wear? What a crack up. Great pic Rusty. Thanks for sharing one that isn't you snoozen under the old apple tree.

I rent the equipment when working for myself, that's early stage on my shop foundation.

The mukluks are the wife's and you betcha they're to die for. Warm feet are worth their weight in gold when it counts. And having the wife's feet warm enough to not complain is worth significantly more.

This pic is from 2,000 or so.

Hey Frosty, You and your foot wear. Can you believe I dreamed about the d_mn things last night? I believe I asked you something like, "I suppose those are your wife's too?" Looks like I better less time on this forum, if I'm dreaming about it too! Anyway, that's a mighty funny looking horse you got! And what happened to all you hair. We'll want to hear more about your shop, but you better start another thread for that before we get in trouble for hijacking this one. But then, hey maybe you could sell monthly subscriptions, I mean to your shop, not your footwear collection! -Phil

Don't worry Phil, lots of people dream about Alaska, maybe not the footwear but . . .

I posted that shot because I figured you might not believe I went bearfooted. Living in the middle of the Pacific has to effect your perception.

I lost the bi-level (mullet) before I knew what a mullet was actually. Then a few years ago my wife's best friend developed cancer and we all buzzed our heads in support. She was given maybe 3 months and passed last sept after fighting the good fight for over 3 years. I got my first haircut in more than 3 years last tue.

That's not an Alaskan horse, it's the single largest determining factor in how large a freezer an Alaskan buys. Of course if you like halibut fishing you'll need another, maybe two if you like caribou and another if you like blackbear. . . Uh, Alaskans tend to have quite a few freezers, even some of the city slickers.

Beautiful day for the start of the Iditarod, around 15f and sunny. This is the ceremonial start, the real start will be tomorrow in Willow, about 25 miles up the highway from us. The Official Site of the Iditarod®
