Well, today was an easy day, as riding days go. We 
decided to get some laundry done before the Harley store opened. Harry had to get a new tire and Bill needed to get a clean air filter. While the boys were playing at the Harley store, Anna and I visited the Alaska Bowl Company. Their shop and store are in the same building. They are world renown for their bowls and they SHIP!!. If you get a chance, take a look at their Website http://www.woodbowl.com/).
Anyone know what these are used for? Let me know by commenting to me. Will give you the answer tomorrow night.
Next, it was on to the University of Alaska to visit their museum and the large animal research farm (LARs).
We saw musk ox, caribou, and reindeer. Very well done presentation by an intern from Austria at the LARs. The museum was full of Alaskan culture and traditions. We met several students who were interns from the lower 48 as well as overseas. They all said their Alaskan experience is one they will never forget.
Time to eat again. But first, we found the Alaskan
Pipeline information. The Alaskan pipeline runs about 1 million dollars of oil an hour from Prudo Bay to Valdez. I found a local brewing company, the Silver Gulch. Definitely visit them if you’re in the Fairbanks area. Good eats and GREAT beer!!
Have I mentioned that there are about 20 hours of light up here?
Here's a pic of the sun at 9 p.m. I haven't been to bed much before 11:30 each night. It seems too nice out to be inside.

That looks like the cord to an engine block/oil warmer!

Yep, you're right. I didn't know what it was. I saw these and posts that had electric outlets on them. I thought, "what a great idea for people to be able to plug in their computers or other technology!" Couldn't have been farther from the truth. But now I know.
