Beautiful MOON

This is the moon hanging over the hills of our neighborhood. This photo was taken yesterday at dusk- around 4:00 p.m.

Busted

I was interested in trying to capture the entire size of this new CTP (computer to plate) machine that we got at work in the small view area of the camera that is mounted in the top of the monitor of my work computer. I was unsuccessful as you can see in this photo, but also managed to have my new boss walk by right as the computer took the photo. I looked like a complete idiot.
That is why the look on my face is one of "awww crap. I'm busted" It was right as he rounded the corner.

Warmed up a bit today, I heard someone at work say they saw 40 degrees on a sign, thats probably higher than reality, but who knows. Now its back down to 22.
We're taking the dogs out to the dog park to run for a while, last night they pulled me around in the street in a sled. We have to get harness' for them so that we can go for longer rides. They love it and I have no complaints about them getting exercise and having fun while I get to ride in a sled.

Our little fire pit

Because we don't have trash service out here, we burn all of our paper waste in our little fire pit. It's pretty nice to have around. It's basically a campfire right outside our door.

New Job, new amish beard

When Chrissy and I were in Iceland, I wore this shirt for a few days and she accused me of having the only flannel shirt in the whole country (which was somehow supposed to be a bad thing) I think it looks nice though.



















5 degrees and dark.

cold eyelashes

There comes a point here in Fairbanks when your nose hairs and eyelashes freeze immediately upon stepping outside. Last night we were feeling it when we took the dogs out for their walk. It feels good to be alive. The cold wakes you up to that feeling and reminds you that, yes, you really are alive.
