Thank you! Turned 52 & doing good. I had my right hip replaced in November 2024 & just returned to work 2 weeks ago, so I have been busy with all of that. Looking forward to getting back on the snowmobile in the near future!

I joined around the same time that I bought my Yamaha SX Viper, so it’s been since around 2002. There are times that I am on here everyday & then I go sporadically for a bit. This has always been the best weather & snowmobile site!

It’s the Ford Extended Warranty bought from Granger Ford out of Iowa, they have the warranty priced just above cost.

I made the jump back to Ford in June 2023, found a used 2021 F-150 Lariat 5.0 V-8 crew cab with way more options than just about any truck needs! I’m pretty happy with it as I’m consistently getting 20 MPG highway with it unloaded. I feel like one aspect of the truck that has been a real...

Happy New Year everyone!

We canceled for this weekend in Eagle River, we have another planned for Manitowish Waters for the end of this month which I’m starting to wonder if that one will be a possibility!

I did see the post on Facebook about John also, I don’t visit here as often in the off season, but I’m sending him speedy recovery vibes here like I did there. Get well soon John!!!

I have to say that I’m definitely NOT surprised that the Milwaukee Show is done. It has been declining for years! I have attended that show for years, back in the day before the new building it took up multiple buildings and there were so many deals to be had! Once the new building was...

Wow! Awesome job and very impressive! I’m 50 years old & couldn’t imagine taking on a project of that size. I would need to seriously work on my physical condition to ever be close to try to build something of that magnitude, that & I’m not very good at construction. Congrats on your dream...

I’m heading to Manitowish Waters in the morning.
