that, I had to rebuild my kitchen because the pipes had frozen and
broke. That sucked big time!

Post by: Recklessrob on November 30 2006, 12:46:16 AM: An interesting piece of trivia about the pipeline:
When it was built, wildlife activist claimed that it
would hinder wildlife population. In reality, It has helped
increase populations, because the small amount of heat
that it gives off is used as shelter by young animals such
as deer and moose preventing them from otherwise freezing to death.

Post by: Recklessrob on November 30 2006, 03:23:17 AM: Now over population is becoming a problem. Even around here, we've had a record high statistic of deer being hit by vehicles.

Post by: TSM Girl on November 30 2006, 10:23:44 AM: Jim, those pictures are real neat. I love the picture of the Ford "Harley" truck at the Polaris dealership.... .. :supz: I think I am pretty scared of Santa, he kind of has a scared look on his face...lol.... .. How far is the pipe?

Why didn't you stop to take a picture of the Moose??? LOL, j/k those things look so cool..I have never seen one in person......lo l...

Post by: DCEPTCN on December 02 2006, 05:20:45 PM: I keep swearing that I'll go to Alaska someday. It looks beautiful....a nd I am actually a fan of the cold. Phil will likely end up closing that window.....but only because his sister's so frigid.

Otherwise, they're docile like cows.

Post by: Be4u on December 03 2006, 05:16:23 AM: hey Jim, can you get me some moose meat? Maybe it would make good jerky?

I got a hind quarter of a small deer a couple days ago. Made jerky and like in the past, I can never make it and keep the true flavor of the meat. So it just tasts like regular jerky.

unless its a momma moose and you get in between it and the baby then your screwed. We got briefed about a professor that was killed by a moose when i was up there. Scary but beautiful animal
