So here we are in Oklahoma city. The flights down were uneventful. We moved into our hotel home for the next several days. Lynn had her knee replacement surgery on Tuesday and all went well. She used the same surgeon that did the other knee. No real issues except that she had to spend an… Continue reading Lynn Update
Spring Breakup and more
RIP Snowball 2009-2020 Starting off this post with sad news. Our dog Snowball had to be flown in to town due to being in severe distress and never got to come home. She developed a very serious medical condition and after consultation with the veterinarians in North Pole we had to make the best decision… Continue reading Spring Breakup and more
Waiting for breakup
Social distancing in bush Alaska So now we are doing “social distancing”, I suppose Galena is ahead of the most of the lower 48 since we are 270 air miles from the nearest large city, (Fairbanks). As far as I know most of the villages off the road system have halted passenger flights into and… Continue reading Waiting for breakup

Lots more snow lately. Even the moose have taken to walking in trails and driveways, (can’t really blame them), instead of breaking trail just to get to food. Lynn was backing into our driveway this afternoon and had to wait while this moose calf finished trimming the brush beside our driveway. Last night as I… Continue reading Moose in the mirror
Running in the snow again
It warmed up considerably on Monday, it wasn’t too cold at about -2F but the overnight snowfall made the run it a little challenging. We got somewhere between 6 and 7 inches total over the weekend. The road in to work had not been plowed by the time I left so the run in was… Continue reading Running in the snow again
Back outside for a while, (I hope)
I’ve mostly been running on a treadmill this week. As much as I detest running on those, it is just hard to get motivated to run outside when it is -30F and colder. I know I should, but I chickened out and ran inside on the coldest days. Some places have treadmills that are positioned… Continue reading Back outside for a while, (I hope)
