Start of food drop



Today Sue needed to run dogs so while she was off doing that Kim, Erin and Matt meet me at 0830 and we all headed over to the Busers to start working on food drop for the 2008 racing season. Martin meet us at the conexs and showed us what he needed done. What was needed was to start packing dry dog food (Eagle) from the 40 pound bags that the food is shipped in into eight pound double baged plastic bags. We did the first 2000 pounds by just after noon and it was time for lunch. Now I know your thinking I was doing this to help out Sue, Martin and Rohn since this is food they will be using for Iditarod and some of the other races; well you would be incorrect. The real reason is that Sue told me that Kathy (Martin's wife) would be cooking lunch. I DO NOT miss a meal that Kathy cooks and I am invited to share. After lunch we got another 1000 pounds bagged up before the other guys needed to get home for some other activities.

Sorry but no pics, I forgot to take the camera.

We were invited to Art and Bonnie Churchs for dinner, another opportunity that I do NOT pass up. Bonnie is also an excellant cook!

There is still more packing to do; today was merely the start so I will be sure to take the camera next time so you can see some of what goes on, it really is an interesting experience.
