I agree 100%. I'll be 58 when we call it quits and I can tell I'm going to need to spend more time on the bike this summer to get back into the shape I was 2-3 yrs ago. Last summer with selling the house and moving I just didn't have time. But I know some of the things I really want to do I...

We are planning to retire in 305 days, but who's counting, and our bucket list includes a 2-4 month RV trip to Alaska that first summer, spending a fall in southern Utah exploring all the national parks there and mtn biking in Moab. Potentially building our new home, where at we don't know yet...

Funny story on transmission flushing. When our 2019 Cross Trek needed its first oil change our son wanted to do it because my wife said she'd pay him $25. I come home to the car up on 4 jack stands and my my son refilling the tranny fluid. He'd drained that instead of the motor oil. So ours had...

Its funny as I'm closer to 60 than 50 now and I make different choices in spots. Digging out sleds in bottomless snow at 9500+ feet is hard work. The funny part is as I make different choices some of the people I ride with don't so I still have to go in and dig them out. But its still worth it...

We've got a 2019 Crosstrek that I commute 130 miles every day with. Great car for northern MN, I'd rather drive that than my F350 on days with crappy road conditions, its a freaking Billy Goat. Haven't given any thoughts to a tranny flush (maybe I should) but its at about 99,000 miles right now...

Just returned from Crooked Creek guest ranch near Dubois WY. Snow was excellent, bottomless in areas, and we had a great time. Our guide and others said it was a little weird as the last storms it blew so hard that the upper elevations had the snow blown off and it was down in the valleys and...

-23 at 7:21 this morning in Finland. Brrr!

Exactly. They aren't showing only the good stuff, they are being very honest about conditions.

Spoke to a friend who works at CF Moto USA and he said the US team recommended not to do it but the China team is who makes the decisions and he doesn't know which way they lean yet. But he'd bet against it.

More than good friends the founder of Cat was one of the three who originally founded Polaris and a brother to one of them. Edgar and Allen Hetteen.

Just saw that also. Sounds like after they build whatever they have for 1st qtr requirements they will be closing the doors unless a buyer can be found. Bummer.

I'm thinking late 90's. I remember a trip in 2000 when we used KSE for our guide service

Its a bit ironic if you think of Textron's history in the powersports market. Bought Polaris way back in the late 60's, ran it into the ground and was looking to sell it when times got tough in the early 80's. Polaris management bought it from Textron, took it private at first and then public...

We ended up with about 4" up in Finland.

My bad, I saw that and wondered why they'd sell Sea Doo as it seems like a market leader. The marine business is another crazy overpriced business. Prices for new boats, pontoons, etc... are nuts. $200K for a ski/wake boat, $100+ for a pontoon. I saw a Bennington pontoon advertised on...

Every powersports manufacturer is struggling right now and letting people go. I listen in to the Polaris earnings call and they've reduced salaried headcount by 5%, along with hourly reductions. BRP is selling off Sea Doo. Huge incentives to buy 1-2 yr old models, reduced 2025 build schedule to...

Yes it is. I was a little concerned also about it fitting because in a pole building style 24' deep is really only 22'9" deep and then the garage door takes up a couple more inches. If your garage is a stick built it'll fit with no issue. I think according to Ford specs a F350, and I'd assume a...

Its not very big, just 24x36. Funny enough its the same footprint as the cabin. Would've liked to go bigger but my wife kept reminding me this is just the cabin and not our long term destination. So once we figure out where the long term destination is it'll be perfect size for a cabin. And when...

Well, since we moved fulltime to the cabin one of my plans was to build a garage. Started clearing the spot in July but due to permit issues couldn't actually get the guy in to do the site prep until early Sept and then had concrete poured mid Sept and had the material delivered late Sept. Six...

Mid December 2022. Amazing start to the year.
