How do you get an engine out of a boat?
I’ve been working on a big project the last couple of weeks. We blew an engine in our boat, so had to haul it out of the water and get it to the crazy-busy shop that could do the swap. The scary part is that the engine had to come out of the window on the side of the boat, that’s the only opening that was big enough. Thankfully, it went great. Engine out, a complete rebuild, and back into place, all without a single scratch.
Our resident Snowshoe Hare
Hanging out under the backyard spruce trees today, sheltered from the falling snow. Just beginning to see a bit of brown hair under the white. Maybe Spring is slowly coming our way.

Iditarod 2024 Start. Who's a good boy?
We drove out to Willow for the official start of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race on Sunday. Our friends on Long Lake always throw an Iditarod start party, and we had a blast. The temperature warmed up nicely throughout the afternoon. It’s always fun to see these dogs that absolutely love to run! Way too many pictures as usual. Click on the images for full-screen and then cursor over for commentary. Woof!
A bluebird day for backcountry skiing.
8" of fluffy new snow overnight, so they're skiing the bowls behind the house on the Chugach Mountains. 3 people and their dog climbing back up after a run on the left side of the frame. Working for it!
