Morning everybody.

Dad and i have been talking about where we are going to moose hunt for a day and a half.
Not enough time or money this year to go out longer.

Stay cool everybody.

 

four or five days to moose season here.... depending on how you calculate..

looks like only going to be able to do opening morning...

but, already got a "volunteer" for the skinning and butchering

so, will have to get walk-in cooler getting cold...

not enuff insulation in there yet.. but will be better than open air hanging till can process on the thrid.


good luck all on hunting this year

Grats on the moose. Have not had a chance in a long time ......last time was hummm 1988....how sad is that.

Just been working on the house, fixing everything the builder's fubar's that our home inspector missed. Have to strip it to the studs, so far 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms finished ar well ar redoing all the plumbing the house including supply drains and venting. Winter is around the corner so I have to finish up the other bedroom so I can get those rooms insulated. Hopefully by this time next year it will be finished.

 

going to be another beutiful fall day here.

Adn I gotta work the paying job..

got the moose almost all the way processed and in the freezer.

still got one hindquarter to cut up, and another batch or two of burger to process and bag up.

good luck to all of you still out hunting,

Chris

 

Good afternoon, Alaska. What's up...up north?

 

Sitting in the Las Vegas Airport, waiting to board my plane home. After time outside you really appreciate Alaska! I can't wait to be home!

Already getting below freezing at night, wasn't doing that 7 days ago haha I have so much crap to get taken care of before it snows.

 

nothing like alaska. at least sun in the forcast akex, cold and clear at night, no snow to worry about yet, you got a week or more.

 

1/2 inch snow ythis morn...

all melted by 8 am though

currently 36 degrees ABOVE

Chris

 

first major snow expected tonight thru next week

anywhere from 4 to 20 inches predicted... sure glad those weather men( and women) are always right ))

Chris

 

saying 3-6" here in anchorage above 500ft and 1" below..should be fun on the roads.

 

had about 3" on roads at 530 am when i came to work...

still snowing wet stuff, and rained last night before snow -

when temps drop this afternoon... should be some fun driving.

sure glad I got Big Yella to get me home

oh and the Head line on todays paper----

"Snow Expected to Fall Today"

Chris

 

eight to ten inches on ground so far....

still snowing...

hopefully the "new" drivers will learn how sooner, rather than later....

makes me want to only go to work, and go home till people figure out how to steer and continue moving forward in snow and ICE

Chris

 

nothing in the palmer area. mountains look white tho.
