Sorry United, reading it back now, I guess I wasn't very clear on this. The trackers that were detected were on this board, not the SnowTrailsUSA board. It has yet to flag a tracker on the SnowTrailsUSA site. Thanks for making me clear this up. This is my personal Norton account. I'm not...

As the summer heats up, the project activity tends to cool down, but it’s never far from my mind. Got the hood in primer so one more light sanding and it’s ready for paint. I’m satisfied at how the repairs to the back of the hood came out. It should look fine in color. Also got the steel...

Dog photos, grandkid photos, can’t see too many. Love em’ Brian, I wouldn’t reset your password, it will give you an error if your info is a mismatch. it’s just a quirk of the system right now. After your login attempt, move around the site a little, often when you bring up another page, it...

Chris, it takes a few times to get a handle on the flow but you'll soon learn that the "communities" tab in the upper right corner of your screen shot will be your friend. From the page in your screenshot, select "communities" and it will bring up a screen with all of the group pages. If you...

"Multiple models rolled into one" is almost a perfect description. It's so goofy looking, it's cool. It continues to amaze me that these things just seem to fall into my lap when I least expect it. A guy that wasn't even selling it shared the ad because it was a Kawasaki and close to where he...

This is what I love about the vintage sledding world. Had a great conversation today with the guy that bought the 250 TX. Even though I’ve never met the guy in person, he had a friend from Roseau (a test rider for Polaris) pick up the sled, we’ve become good friends. On a loosely related note...

I’m pretty confident that people will support both sites. After all, it’s not a binary choice. How long that continues, I think will depend on the tolerance for the issues we’ve all been experiencing here. I do plan to continue to provide updates on the Kawasaki project here. There may be...

It’s kind of funny, but it’s like, when in the movie “Major League” Bob Uecker asks the broadcast color guy if he has anything to add, the color guy just says “Ummmm….No”. To which Bob says “He's Not the best colorman in the league for nothing, folks.” But Gary has done such a good job at the...

I totally agree with this. When I lived in the Twin Cities, this was the most exciting event of the year for me. At one time I think all four brands were there but then it seemed like Ski Doo went their own way with a show, but I could be wrong. In any case, you could grab a slice of pizza...

The water jet/CNC guys are probably looking at this and chuckling a bit. I suspect they could knock this out in about 5 minutes, but I guess I'm stubborn and like to do things myself when I can. I figure there's always something to be learned. Besides, I'm retired after all and supposed to...

Small Town (Friday) Night 🎵🎵 Probable overkill on the detail here but I thought it necessary. With the hood repair work finished, it was time to sand off most of the spray-can paint job. Don’t get me wrong, you can do some amazing work with spray cans these days. This hood job was not one of...

You said it best. Spending time on a secluded lake you basically have to yourself, not thinking about anything other than maybe where the fish might be was well worth the trip. Lakes like that are getting harder and harder to find.

Several years ago a few veterans, with support from the local American Legion Post, created an area of the local cemetery reserved for veterans. When you go out there on Memorial Day and see all those American flags, it’s striking how many in this small community have served in the Armed Forces...

A 440 Brut and a Snowtwister in one shot is an impressive score. "For not being Rupp's", I like how you think. Yes, it's interesting how quickly some of these companies ended their run and the timing of the decision. When they were out, they were out. Chaparral did a similar thing in that...

Nice truck!
