TeamElk, Nice Lynx! Love the look. The flag is just the icing on the cake. Glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking vintage this year. Get your purple and black gear ready. Maybe some of the JD crowd can get together for a ride. This little doggy will also be looking for playmates...

Phazerpilot should get a kick out of this effort. If this hood looks familiar, it was the first candidate hood for the Make-A-Wish sled. Fortunately we went on to find better material. The hood is being included with a vintage sled I’m selling so I decided to do the major patching on it just...

Trick or Treat A little late on this but had two machines snow checked and it took a while to get both of them squared away (you can probably guess which one took the longest). Went with the Retro look on both. Hoping for a good winter.....

Took these heading out of Lac La Belle and on the big lake on Thursday. The pictures don’t really do justice to the scenery. Peak or not, it is spectacular up there right now. The Maples are amazing. Kwikgren: Nice ski assortment!

You’re too kind, but I just couldn’t impose. This is a great idea. It seems like a tailor-made excuse to get in a little riding on the side, but officially (for the home front) it’s “work, work work”. Thanks, you too doospunk - wish I would have had more time to hang around For those of...

Sled Reveal Made it out to Haydays yesterday and finally saw the finished Make-A-Wish sled. I thought it looked great and was every bit as impressive as the photos. The high gloss paint gives it just a hint of custom look that sets it apart from the stock T’NT look. Also got to re-connect...

My wife and I made a journey to our hometown this week to visit the local cemetery, mostly to do a little cleanup on the final resting place of family members. Since my father, father-in-law, and stepfather-in-law were all WWII Vets, it seemed like an appropriate time. I’d like to think that...

After a several year absence, it looks like I'll be logging some seat time on a Polaris next year. This is pretty much Snoluver1's fault. Scrounging for a few parts for the Make-A-Wish sled gave me way too much time in the boneyards. I guess the rusted steel, bent and corroded aluminum, and...

These are great pics! Indy-500, glad to see you're part of the "Blue Man Group". Shot this one of my riding buddy last week on our first-ever mountain riding trip. To me, it just seems to say it all.

I find this kind of funny. Every time I open the Beer thread, Google Chrome freaks and generates a malware warning. It only seems to happen on this thread. Is this some kind of pro-prohibition scheme? Anti-virus and malware scans have turned up no malware. Internet Exploder does not...

OK, I'm looking for the straight scoop here. I'm curious about the amount of peer pressure you've experienced regarding your choice of sled brands, whether it be from friends, relatives, whomever, and whether or not it had an effect. This pressure can range from good nature'd ribbing to...

Posted outside my little piece of cubicle-land is a company benefits poster from 1956. The following are some of the items on the list. These are real - I couldn't make these up! $100 Christmas Check - For employees hospitalized on Christmas Day Christmas Present - For all employees...

This is what happens when you let kids play unsupervised. I think I have this right now. I've always been a little curious about the age demographics of the John Dee membership and if there are reasons why it might be moving in one direction or the other. I have my suspicions about how this...

When checking the selection of occupation-based shows on the "The" channels (History/Discovery/Learning) today it seems that what is missing is a show about trail groomers. Should I be worried that I would probably find this show interesting? I mean, a lot of us know of equipment (good and...

I'm sure some of you out there have some ideas. A few years ago I left an older Honda 200SX ATV at my daughters to use. I'm sure it hasn't been run for at least a couple of years and when I was up there recently I found out that it won't turn over with the pull rope - most likely due to...

Caught Bob's show at the Xcel tonight - Great Show! It's fortunate for us that he usually includes St. Paul in his tour schedule. Yes, it's true, there was more gray hair than meatloaf night at an Old Country Buffet but that doesn't mean it was a low key event. Bob and his band cranked it out...

Not much of a topic but maybe it says something. We've been having trouble with our cable and in spite of two visits from the cable company, it crapped out completely again today. Panic time! So now, I've rigged an "emergency" cable from the box, across the yard, though a window and directly...

I'm hoping this won't be interpreted as political as it is not my intent. This is the time of year when we're all a little crabby with regard to the state of things but the truth is, how many of us would choose to live anywhere else? Do we have problems? Yes, but we're able to express our...

Some of you may have already seen this but my brother sent it to me this morning. He didn't send any specific details but I guess this happened up by the Northwest Angle on Lake of the Woods. As you can see by the markers, this opened up right on the marked trail. Those pressure ridges are...

I was going through some old photos and it struck me that even though much has changed in our winter addiction, some things haven't. Everything about our machines and gear is better but the experience is still the same. I look at some of my current photos and the similarities are remarkable...
