Jim's 2018 Iditarod

[jimnyc]

Jim will be attending his first Iditarod here in a couple of weeks. Here's a write up in the local rag about it :

So on Sunday, March 4th, we'll be out on snowmachines at the Yentna checkpoint with a bonfire beside the Iditarod Trail cheering on the mushers and handing them a brewski when they go by.

Maybe I'll spike Jim's beer with something so he can be the first one in history to get run over by a dog sled team. I'll be sure to Go-Pro it in HD.

Really looking forward to seeing you and Sharon again! And then this time, snow ice and "snowmobiles"! Bears will be hibernating still, I hope, so maybe getting eaten will be one less worry this time.

I'll just be in heaven, sitting back with some good Alaskan beer, and watching some of my favorite dogs sled on by for awhile. Just chilling and watching will be good enough there for me.

Of course what I'm really looking forward to is doing some good riding. A pocketful of gas money and we're good to go I hope!!

I'd feel sorry for NT but he asked for it

Don't be surprised if we hear Jim "fell out" of the sled about halfway ...

Nah, I go into panic and anxiety mode most likely, so I'll be kinda subdued and laid back. I don't always travel well. But with some alcohol, well now that changes everything. Rick and Sharon will be my brother and sister within a few hours.

Just what you need in freezing weather ... some booze. I tend to disagree with the theory that you'll freeze quicker with alcohol in your blood. Everything could be frozen outside and my Jack would be just the right temp

You can test the theory

Oh I know, I've tested that theory before! And while it may not truly warm you, it sure does feel that way, and that's good enough for me!

And dropping the beer next to me in some snow - nothing better than when your beer is literally ice cold!
