LOL I am sure a mount for the Tommy gun can be sorted easily... on the other hand you could get a dog sled and let your big dogs pull you up and down the hill on the snow...I mean you are feeding then anyhow they might as well earn their keep.

I need a mount for my Thompson on it though, in case I am set upon by brigand squirrels on the trail.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-18303229944875227112016-01-26T18:00:58.289-05:002016-01-26T18:00:58.289-05:00Hey Kev its the first time I have seen the dog sle...Hey Kev its the first time I have seen the dog sled races in person. Interesting but a bit too cold a sport for my tastes, never mind owning and feeding a pack of what amounts to semi wild and very rambunctious dogs. It was a fun outing however and we will surely go back for next year's Mushers Bowl event. The bodged exhaust was a matter of necessity, the repair shop would have wanted to sell me a whole new exhaust system for 700 U$. That would be half the value of the van. Besides schleps like us work to hard for our money to give it a way just like that.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-75530726849036202942016-01-26T17:27:08.167-05:002016-01-26T17:27:08.167-05:00I love the idea of mushing and have reade many boo...I love the idea of mushing and have reade many books on guys that have gone out and done it.

This time I made it with minimal foul language and only had to pick the rust out of my eyes for two days. Not too bad if I do say so my self. I'll need to crawl back under it in the summer and do it right or it won't pass state inspection.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-26615463467328819732016-01-24T19:44:40.006-05:002016-01-24T19:44:40.006-05:00Hi John, its the first time we have been to the sl...Hi John, its the first time we have been to the sled-dog races even though it has been going on for about 15 years. Today's race was quite laid back and was mostly a demo/practice run. But it was a fun day and we saw something we had never seen real live before.Mike Silviushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406468736304441962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-78117189881314946792016-01-24T19:40:44.296-05:002016-01-24T19:40:44.296-05:00Nothing like a little ingenuity! lolNothing like a little ingenuity! lolGorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4229172837911249933.post-21277069781939410162016-01-24T19:36:54.424-05:002016-01-24T19:36:54.424-05:00I like it, you did a great temp. job on your van. ...I like it, you did a great temp. job on your van. I always enjoy a good sled dog race. Miss the days I ran dogs. Sometimes, a simple eatery has the best food. Pretty soon, our Iditarod will start.
