    Your trip to Duluth

    John, Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip to our neck of the woods. To bad the weather wasn't as nice as it was in late March when we had upper 60's. I agree with you on ACME tool, what an awesome store. I stop there at least once/month for something, whether I need it or not!

    Bent ski doo

    This weekend my wife hit something with her ski on her 2005 GTX. We first noticed it because her carbide on her right ski was bent out and up. I looked at the a-arms quickly and they looked fine, not bent at all. So then yesterday as I was unloading it I noticed it wouldn't turn all the way to...

    North Shore riding/Pagami Creek fire area

    Spent the weekend riding the North Shore. We rode out of Isabella each day and trails were hit and miss. The Tomahawk trail was OK down to the NSST while the Timberwolf Trail (powerline trail) from the Tomahawk to Finland was not good at all. The first day we rode up to Devils track lake and the...

My wife wants to put new tile in...
