Good Moving Weather... early

We're finally in the homestretch of packing, plenty still to do but really close to actually loading up. our moving container shows up next week and we finally got a break in the weather... it was a heat wave today! some signs said 30-40 and that's above zero! with all of the -40 we've been seeing we thought surely "warm" would be -20...
I took the opportunity to dig out some of our stuff from the backyard. Living in Alaska you never know how long good weather is going to last so if you have something to do you just do it. I did some shoveling to get to the grill...

The neighbor's dog kept an eye on me...

We've also been visited by some moose. Brian is determined to see one in the yard before we leave, but here are there tracks:

The other night the moon was the most visible it will be in all of 2009, we're a lot closer to the moon anyways but this is what it looked like at about 10pm (akst):

and this is what it looked like with the flash from my camera (keep in mind it was -40)

Well that's all I got so far. Just keeping busy with work, packing, and procrastinating. I also finished my socks and will post pictures probably tomorrow... Brian still wants his sweater already...
