Idk how I am going to find a new place I can afford, even with a co-signer and roommates bc prices have gone up so much. People keep buying up small houses here and turning them into airbnbs instead of renting them to locals, and few in Alaska are dumb enough to move in winter. Nothing is available!

What happened?? Work on adjacent unit blew something up, nuked our water heater, and has left me with half power. Landlord can’t afford repairs and is kicking me out instead. Enjoy my Edison panel from the 1940s, original to the home.

@mac-b5.stickimporters.com do you happen to know if there’s a way to easily extract (or find!) the contour lines of a topo map? I’m looking for just the contour lines of the Fairbanks area for a project

I just looked at the BOR and honestly, this is happening bc it’s comprised of C-suite level businesspeople and not mushers.

Justin went to the uni where I work and since I’m in their PR dept, I knew immediately what we had in Justin. How could Iditarod not see it too??

Tbh Nascar also had this problem of their own creation — pack racing on superspeedways— and to fix it they invented a car that can launch into the air like a plane. I’m not joking. Google Ryan Preece, he’s currently flying very close to the sun literally and figuratively. Surprised he’s still alive.

This is comparable to when your house dog doesn’t want to walk over a metal grate on the ground: feels too floaty for puppy proprioception.

This is so wild to me bc if you know anything about Alaskans, it’s that we will pretty much ALWAYS go the extra mile to ensure someone else’s safety, knowing it will be us one day. I can’t picture volunteers happily leaving with Jenny and others still on the trail. I also can’t see them stealing…

This is a health and safety issue for both Jenny and the dogs. This is unacceptable. Mushers plan meticulously and depend on those drop bags for SURVIVAL.

Jeff Deeter confirms Justin Olnes was running a good puppy schedule. Too bad the only people who don’t believe that are ITC.

Today is a soft closure at work so only about 8 or so of us will be in today. Tomorrow is pi day and at least 3 of us are bringing pies (I got 2). Stay tuned to see how this goes.

I’d like to point out that despite having a two week lead time and starting from a new location, at no point did the org ask for more volunteers. They could and should have.

And provide more clarity into this three judge party that makes such DRASTIC decisions. I want to run this race too, but not if it’s run by people who are going to make decisions like this.

This is why I am angry. We know it takes $30-50k to run what is often a bucket list race. Let alone the additional money for yknow...training and feeding the dogs all season. I know the race being longer this year complicates things for volunteers, but come ON. They weren't that far behind

In hindsight I should have recognized that my battery was about to die but it was fun getting stranded in Nenana for about an hour while I walked to the tribal hall and found a Chief to take care of me. I almost asked Dallas for a ride on the snowmachine but just walked instead.

It showed the same weird errors as when its too cold to start and did the same thing (won’t fire but can hear the selenoid, power but no starty) but this can be fixed with a jump. I did have my high beams and heater on for a while but that was WITH the car
