Greg,
Yea, that news story with the reporter was pretty funny. Glad Amy didn't hit the truck...or slide down the back yard to the lake! My street is a complete sheet of ice. Not much sun to help thaw it out. I am working from my home office this morning. Don't want to take a chance and wreck my tow vehicle. Can't wait till Spring! |

Tim,
Would like very much to hit the SJRR. However, due to the lack of cash I will be unable to make it this year. I am a commissioned salesman working for Mohawk Industries (the flooring manufacturer) and my sales volume is down almost 50% from what it was in 2006. The commission checks have been a lot smaller...especially this past year. And with my two daughters in college. You know the rest of the story! Looking forward to meeting you and your family. We should be able to hook up sometime this coming boating season. So, toast a cold one for me next month at the SJRR. |

Eric, You got it right!!!! Cant even take a boat out in FL right now... at least we can play outside up here! 15 degrees .... a foot and a half of snow ... 140 horses ...... 500 pounds ..... 10 gals of gas ..... and 2 STROKE SMOKE!! . . Life doesnt get much better in the winter!! (BTW... it will hit more than 2 times the 60mph club)
Adam , why would they cancell a football game because it MIGHT snow a little? I can assure you with a low of 34 and a high of 42, you aint gonna get any snow to stay around. . 
BTW, just checked the temp...little "chilly" this morning ...minus 13 ....thank goodness no wind! |

Steve, You need to upgrade to one of the new machines like a Etech. Of course then you would need to hope it scores up the cylinders before the warranty is up!!! |

It was a slow news day, all anyone was talking about was it might snow, people were spinning out of control here, had it been a school day, they'd probably canceled school!!! I thought you guys up north would enjoy the chaos caused by a 30 degree day here in Fl, I know I did, heck I'm from Canada for pete's sake!!! |

Pete, You aint goin all "tree-hugger" on me are ya? 
Actually, there's no way Im going to spend over 10Gs to play in the snow... I have a few friends with the Yami 4 strokes...nice sleds, but like I said too much coin for my blood!... heck my sled is an '02 .... I bought it three months old with 1100 miles and only has 1800 miles on it now. We used to ride 1500 to 2000 evey season. I wonder if the fact I built my heated shop about the same time has anything to do with that?

Not at all! I haven't been on a sled in several years. It all ended when I got tired of doing the repairs on them (both late 80's Yamaha's)that my son incurred. I finally gave up and told him the sleds are yours and that he could do all the repairs needed to keep them running. This is more my style and I'd love to do a restoration on one some day. 
BTW, the last time I took a look under the shroud of one of the new sheds, I couldn't even find the plugs. I finally realized it was coil over plugs and there wasn't any big fat high tension plug wires to look for!!! |

Pete,
A good friend of mine in Sandpoint, Idaho has a 4 seat Imp. It is like 1973 or 1974. It has dual heaters, gear racks, and a big track on each side. He kept getting stuck on his sleds. Mind you, he is hauling gear and supplies, not just out riding for fun. He switched to a quad with tracks on it. This was no better. He got this machine for $18k including a trailer. Now he rides around in a light sweatshirt and drinks beer while tooling along. We got 200+ inches at our cabins last year. Mountain winters are seriously fun. This is a pic at my cabin in early Feb 2008 
This is the other side. We had snow until mid May.

Pete, Nice picture. I almost bought one of those myself from a Ma-Pa little ski area in MA that was closing. I didn't think I had enough land to play with it. I did manage to outfit the kid with used rental skis, boot 7 pole to use in the yard and the kiddie slopes for $100.

Funny how Al Gore gets an award for discovering global warming and everyone is freezing.
Comedian Ron White while staying at Foxwoods Casino in CT got up one morning, went to walk the dogs and checked his thermometer, which read 0. His wife asked him what the tempature was and he said, "There isn't any" |

We finally got some decent snow and its time to drag out the snow boards tonight and get them ready, wintersport season is on! |

Snowboarding on Friday, great lake hockey game on Saturday (the ice is like a Zamboni cleaned it), quads and snowmobile races on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of beers and Shnapps to keep the chill off. It was the perfect winter weekend.
