Arctic Survival Skills

Well all we survived Christmas.  Ash came up and we had a good time with her, nice to be able to relax and just spend time with her.  Did some snow machining and learned that if you have to pee you had better do it BEFORE you get all your gear on and oh by the way at -13 below your pee will actually freeze, yellow snow cone any one LOL, sorry I know that was kind of gross but hey we are all family right??, If not too bad!!!

But back to the update, so Ash came up and Krista went to see her grandma, both had a good time, and Dave and I had a good time, all and all it was a good Christmas.

So we have been racing snow machines and doing normal winter activities, the freezer olympics, this is where you run out of the house to start your car, quickly scrape off 3 inches of ice, then run back in the house before you loose any fingers or toes from the cold. Yep winter fun in alaska.  We also have the do I plow the drive way now or wait for the city plow to plow the road so I don't have to plow twice dilemma.  Oh decisions, decisions.

We got some goodies for the motorcycles over christmas, and today Dave put on his snow gear and we pushed the spyder out of the garage and road it to the paint shop.  The spyder is getting a paint job!! So excited!! I will post the video of Dave riding the spyder, it only took two tries and a couple of pushes to make it up some of the hills we have, apparently a trike and snow don't mix, who knew! :))  We will post pictures of the paint job once it is done.
