    John Dee Memorial stickers

    That is really nice of you! I have been wondering if we might see a trail name after John... Or something to recognize John for all he did. Anyone know if any of the clubs are talking about anything?

    Chance of a White Xmas in North Central WI?

    Yeah, and at this point end of January to build a good base unless we get some big dumping, without warm ups... I have a trip planned for St Germain for Jan 25-28. This is the only trip I have that is not flexible. I have a friend flying up from Texas. I'm just hoping for a good experience for...

    We were spoiled

    First yes, the snow specific forecast are going to be a huge loss for all of us... Mezz - I did not start riding till 2000 but the 97-98 year was a huge storm in Chicago at the beginning of March. It shutdown the Northwest Indiana area and parts of Chicago area down for almost a week. Started...

    Is Everyone Ready?

    I rebuilt the skid on my sled so and on my youngest son's sled I'm going to put some of the I-grips in the track and try them out. But other than that, all three sleds are ready to go. Over the summer I put new tires and breaks on the trailer so that is ready to go too. I just need the snow...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    I have an easier suggestion for you. I have what was a Craftsman Auto-Switch Outlet. You plug in you main tool and then had two assorcey outlets that the main tool controls. Like a light and a shop-vac. Mine is old but I found this one on Amazon and other the the brand and color it it the same...

    Inline trailer loading

    Normally, I have 3 in my 4-place but I will load them so they are facing the rear making it easy to drive out. This also seem to be the best weight distribution. If loading 4 they have to go in this way. I can drive-through but it seems most often I just back in the backdoor. LOL Sled in the...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Listings online now are between $1,500 to $3,500. Realistically I'm thinking a used 120 will be listed 1500 to 2500 (I don't know I may even still be on the low side. There are some high prices out there, at least with what their asking) for the one showing their design age but in good...

    Future of snowmobiling in Michigan!

    Yeah, but they will try! "Just do as I say, don't worry about what I do!" We all wondered where the Wicked Witch of the East went... I'm fairly sure we know now! Also, I wonder if she has gotten rid of that nasty oil-burning yacht she owns. Of course, just like the lockdowns, there are...

    Birthday Greetings for Mezz

    I know this is late but you somehow keep track of everyone's birthdays around here... So I figure we owe you a Happy Birthday Mezz, even if it's a belated birthday! Edit: Well I read the post wrong, I thought it said this was from Tuesday not today... Either way, I hope it was a good day.

    Looking for some info on Handle bar muffs

    A lot of personal preferences regarding this question... I thought The Ski-Doo's were the most liked due to the windows... With that said, I booked marked these from a while back. Not sure if it was someone on this site or somewhere else. But many seemed to really like these...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Paul, speaking on cost... I've had a couple big projects like this, I used Home Depot for my material due to location but Menards and Lowe's, plus local building supply places had similar programs I could have used... Anyways I setup everything through the Contractor Service Desk, Had a complete...

    Finally some real EV/Truck stats and...... WOW!!!

    Yep and that is play right from China... The government backs the agenda they want to push at any cost until the people comply... With that said, I realize the government funds and pushes many ideas, including oil. But I think most agree the EV push is very forced without satisfactory provisions...

    Finally some real EV/Truck stats and...... WOW!!!

    How long did it take to phase out leaded fuel? I remember it was like 96 when they officially stopped selling it. I think maybe around mid '70s is when they started to phase it out though... All they had to do was switch the blend that they were selling, not build entire infrastructure... And...
