Friday, May 27, 2011. A SIMPLE RED STRIPE OF CLOTH. As the years progressed, watching Marines march, slowly the number of Blood Stripes disappeared as the veterans aged and no longer marched. New recruits took their place. By the 50’s you would only see a few of the Marines with those bright red stripes on their pants. Over the last few years the percentage of Marines marching wearing blood stripes has increased – way too quickly. When any contingent of Marines march almost every man now wears ...But on ...

http://texasdustmusher.blogspot.com/2011_02_27_archive.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. It is March 5, 2011 The Day of Dreams. Today begins the start of the Iditarod Sled Dog race from Anchorage to Willow to Nome. Dreams not of just the glory of winning the race, but of what was and what can be done when a team of 16 dogs and one musher take on all the Alaska bush can throw at them - with the goal just to cross under the the Burl Arch in Nome with all dogs healthy,. The words to the song are:. Come gather young huskies. It's high time you learn. And the Farewell Burn.

http://texasdustmusher.blogspot.com/2010/09/black-ribbon-cw-singin-chris-mac-dusky.html
Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Black Ribbon: CW Singin' Chris Mac Dusky, CGC (Mac) 1996 (? He managed to con us out of several pieces. Food was Mac's favorite thing in life - tonight Jason and I went to a local BBQ place and we saved Mac some of the BBQ's beef and sausage and bought him an order of french fries. Mac did share a small taste for Patsy, but enjoyed his BBQ dinner more than most of us would a dinner at a 5 Star Resturant. Mac left this world, surrounded by me and family and LOVE. See ya later,...

Has a pretty good field of entries. So, I've taken my own spreadsheets from 2013 and used them as a basis for running some numbers. In particular, I've created a spreadsheet. Containing runtime 2013 checkpoint data and. Again, this is largely to create a baseline dataset for comparison with this year. However, I also ran some correlations...

Occasional writings on techie aspects of dog mushing and race data. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Recently there's been some discussion of instant beer for backpacking or other backcountry travel. After all, beer is almost entirely water and water's really heavy, so if the water can be eliminated and added later, the problem is basically solved (well, almost). Sounded promising but turned out to be a hoax, but in the meantime Pat's Backcountry Beverages. And the drink concentrate:. Also, your basic low bar:.

Occasional writings on techie aspects of dog mushing and race data. Monday, November 24, 2014. Following up on my previous post. On 2013 Quest statistics, I've gone back, cleaned up my 2011 data, and run some numbers on that. What I found was pretty consistent with the 2013 numbers, except that there were a few surprises in the numbers that actually helped tell the story of the race. If you've been following the Yukon Quest. And Sebastian Schnuelle's ice-caked boots in Central told a story, as well:.
