No, no, I'm still here.
Oddly and unusually I have been on the phone all evening, and I have a book I need to finish for my reading club come Monday. And do you know what? It's so good that book that it can only be read very slowly ... Sometimes - not often - but sometimes this happens ![]() Well, you may not need educational programs, BladeD. I do. It reminds me of an American friend who asked what I watched on TV, and I answered '60 minutes' and the like. His eyes widened more and more and he asked: 'And what do you watch for entertainment?' Duh! ![]() |

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business I leafed through the MEACC memberlist and determined that NAP2614 ![]() has been here and is gone again. This time, nap, you earned your badge both by design and by work. Thank you. It's a bit difficult to see when a member rejoins. We had a trek in 2011, and nap took part - and so did I so we sit somewhere inbetween everybody. Oh, looking at that memberlist gives me a sudden onset of nostalgia - each name rings its own bell AlephNull B2I blackheeler cswchan deltavee dl1000v Guitar Man 1 jan649 Lighthouse LoneWolf_53 mike047 nanoprobe PecosRiverM RAMMIE sujo1 sunfolk T.G.Wakko tanner2 TLD USAFA82 - I could write a page about each of you, and I'm so happy to see that many of you are still around and join a trek now and then Yes, I know you will be there in due time, TLD ![]() ![]() |

Qu'il fasse froid ou pas, Louloup a besoin de se dépenser. Et j'ai toujours eu envie d'essayer ça, alors profitons de la neige !
----------------------------------------Quand on rentre, il aura sa gamelle de croquettes avec le pschitt-pschitt d'huile de saumon dessus (il a un poil encore plus magnifique avec ça). Je n'ai pas vu Puppy, mais sa gamelle est servie, réflexe. La friandise étant un os de cote de bœuf. Pour les humains, vin chaud au goûté (vers 16H en France) . Avec un Merlot tout simple, mais de la très bonne cannelle. Quelques biscuits pour accompagner. Et pour ceux qui n'aiment pas l'alcool, il y aura du thé. Je ne connais pas son nom. Une spécialité Russe, avec des fleurs bleues dedans. Assez fort, mais avec un arrière goût très subtil. Avec du sucre brun c'est un délice. Et une fois bien réchauffé, et qu'on a repris de l'énergie, on crunch ! ![]() Whether it's cold or not, Louloup needs to work hard. And I always wanted to try that, so let's enjoy the snow! When we come back, he will have his bowl of croquettes with pschitt-pschitt salmon oil on it (he has a hair even more beautiful with that). I did not see Puppy, but his bowl is served, reflex. The treat is a rib bone. For humans, mulled wine (around 16H in France) . With a simple Merlot, but very good cinnamon. Some cookies to accompany. And for those who do not like alcohol, there will be tea. I do not know his name. A Russian specialty, with blue flowers in it. Strong enough, but with a very subtle aftertaste. With brown sugar it is a delight. And once warmed up, and we took the energy, we crunch! ![]() Edit : sunfolk, just ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 5, 2019 3:04:31 PM] |

Wonderful picture, stefada.
It must be so much easier doing this with that flimsy little skicart than being on one of the heavy sledges with a lot of dogs who have to establish their pecking order incessantly. ![]() Good Morning Base Campers! Business The Base Camp crew around the Finnish campfire is stable and reliable. Everybody works hard with his own tools. Everybody is welcome to stay until we leave for outer space on January 15. Everybody has earned our birch badge ![]() - also TLD whom we made room for when he arrived a couple of days ago with his fishing gear. He decided to try out ice fishing Welcome, Ted ![]() We had two words from our current captain - the further you go north and the more you’re a man, the less you talk … He said: ”wow nice” and smiled ![]() You ![]() ![]() ![]() Chit-chat Went to see ’Shoplifters’ yesterday. Lovely movie with one woman claiming you need to give birth to a child to be a mother, and the other one having demonstrated you can be a mother anyway. ![]() |

Little Mermaid,
Etre musher, c'est tout un Art, je n'oserais même pas essayer même si j'adore les chiens. Les faire travailler ensemble, tout en gérant la Meute et sa hiérarchie, ce n'est pas donné à tout le monde. Par contre, qu'est-ce que j'aimerai pouvoir tester cette sorte de trottinette pour la neige avec Louloup. Surtout qu'il connaît à droite, à gauche, avance, stop, vas-y (ça c'est pour lui dire de se lâcher et d'aller à fond). Avec en plus que c'est tout léger, donc si il y a un obstacle, je le détache, met l'engin sur mon épaule, on le franchit, et c'est repartit ! Le problème c'est qu'il n'y a plus de neige ou presque là où j'habite (la dernière fois qu'on pouvait faire de la luge, ça devrait être il y a une dizaine d'années). Ce qui fait que je m'intéresse aux traîneaux tricycles, qui permettent de faire la même chose, mais sans la neige. Je connais une "voie verte" (un chemin où les véhicules à moteur sont interdit, c'est réservé aux promeneurs) qui est presque plate, et qui nous fait environ 25Km de balade aller-retour, il y aurait de quoi se régaler. En photo, un des modèles qui me plaît beaucoup. Léger, très stable, un excellent système de freinage (très important avec Louloup). Je trouve ça beaucoup plus adapté que la trottinette qui est sur la photo suivante, même si c'est le même trip en quelque sorte. Le problème c'est qu'un tricycle comme ça, même en seconde main, il faut compter au minium 5'000€ ! Alors j'essaye de trouver des amis qui puissent m'en fabriquer un, mais l’aluminium (ce qui est nécessaire pour rester léger) ça coûte cher, et en plus il faut savoir le travailler. Mais si j'arrive à m'en procurer un, je crois qu'il faudra que je créé une part pneu dans mon budget ! ![]() ![]() To be musher is an art, I would not dare to try even if I love dogs. Making them work together, while managing the Pack and its hierarchy, is not given to everyone. By cons, what I would like to test this kind of scooter for the snow with Louloup. Especially that he knows right, left, advance, stop, go (that's to tell him to let go as fast he want). With the addition that it is quite light, so if there is an obstacle, I detach, put the machine on my shoulder, we cross it, and it's gone! The problem is that there is almost no more snow where I live (the last time we could go sledding, it should be about ten years ago). So I'm interested in tricycle sledding, which allows you to do the same thing, but without the snow. I know a "greenway" (a road where motor vehicles are prohibited, it is reserved for walkers/cycles/etc) which is almost flat, and that makes us about 25km of round trip, there would be enough to feast. In photo, one of the models that I like a lot. Light, very stable, excellent braking system (very important with Louloup). I find it much more suitable than the scooter on the next picture, even if it's the same trip in a way. The problem is that a tricycle like that, even in second hand, it takes at least 5'000 €! So I try to find friends who can make me one, but the aluminum (which is necessary to stay light) it is expensive, and in addition it is necessary to know to work it. But if I can get one, I think I will have to create a tire part in my budget! ![]() Trek Une légère baisse ces derniers jours, mais on reste dans une moyenne de 20'000 heures à la journée. Soit environ 2,2 ans de calcul chaque jour ! Les membres de l'équipe My efforts against childhood cancer sont invités à profiter de l'occasion de se faire connaître et parler de leur équipe, que ce soit ici, ou directement sur votre topic de recrutement. Motivons, que nous pouvons toujours faire plus, et face aux enfants malades, nous n'en ferons jamais assez ! Un post, un partage, c'est rien. Rien ? La possibilité qu'une personne de plus rejoigne l'équipe, voir mieux, qu'il y ait un nouveau cruncheur qui participe au WCG. Comme dit Saphir12, la Capitaine de l'équipe Kraland : Les petits ruisseaux font de grandes rivières, les petits ordinateurs font de méga-calculateurs pour la recherche. ![]() A slight decrease in recent days, but we stay in an average of 20'000 hours per day. About 2.2 years of calculation each day! Members of the My Children Against Cancer team are invited to take the opportunity to make themselves known and talk about their team, either here or directly on your recruitment topic. Let us motivate, that we can always do more, and in the face of sick children, we will never do enough! A post, a sharing is nothing. Nothing ? The possibility that one more person joins the team, to see better, that there is a new cruncher who participates in the WCG. As Saphir12 says, the Captain of the Kraland team: Small streams make big rivers, small computers make mega-calculators for research. ![]() |

I wish you luck aquiring this mock-up of a dog sledge.
Since we shall not have all that much snow any more - except for exceptional loads in Bavaria and Austria ![]() so Louloup hardly ever will pull in snow, you may be able to get away with an ordinary bicycle ride – much cheaper, and I’m sure Louloup will be one very happy dog either way ![]() Good Morning Base Campers! Business I cannot see we have any changes in our crew - nobody left, and nobody came in response to stefada’s and my invitation. New permanent members of MEACC would be welcome – and, indeed, the team has managed to grow some on its own since Base Camp’s first trek there. Your badge, Base Campers, to be dealt ASAP after January 14th ![]() - don't forget it, BladeD ![]() ![]() |
