Tomorrow I fly up to Fairbanks for two weeks of fun and fishing. I’ll be visiting an Army buddy and we will head north along the pipeline. I’m not really sure where we will be going because my only job is to show up.
Last fall I flew up and will did some hunting. It’s funny because I’m not even there and we talked on the phone last night about coming up in the dead of winter. Most people leave the -20F Wisconsin winter to head south. I would be leaving -20 and heading to -40F.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I made it through security but had a pocket knife in my luggage. I no longer own the knife.
I also spent $14.03 on these two items.

Ground Control to Major Tom. Have a good time. I hate the airlines they totally do not give a damn about the customer anymore.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

-20 to -40, probably not even feel it.
Enjoy your trip and your expensive snacks. Cream Soda, only second to Root Beer. I’ve never been a cola fan.

Re: Alaska Summer 2023
Sunset was at 12:40 am and then it rose at 3:07 am. Even when it was down it wasn’t all that dark. When my friend picked me up around 9 pm he received a phone call and had to report in full uniform at 10 pm or as he says 22:00. Apparently a 50 cal machine gun went missing in the field and everyone had to walk the fields looking for it. Remember all that light I was talking about. Welcome to Army life.
We will be going salmon fishing this weekend. He is a resident and can fish. I’m not and can’t net salmon but I can watch. Then we are headed north above the Arctic Circle and will be where the sun never sets for about three months.
We always have a blast either hunting, fishing or camping in the wild.
