Funny…Not really. In fact, I’ve only fished once so far this winter and the supply is getting low but I’m hoping to correct that problem in Feb. and March. Have a couple of extended outings planned. It’s kind of a weird feeling seeing the shop like this. Not a sled in sight and the section of...

Such a good read! Nora talked about traditions and I do hope the journal is a tradition that continues. It has always been something to look forward to reading.

Big cool down coming. With the right winds, I think you guys could get hammered. I agree, Bring it On!!

Really can’t thank you guys enough for sticking with me on these long projects. There are many times it keeps me pushing ahead. If there is one thing I’d like to change it would be getting them done faster. I suppose it’s like the old saying: If you don’t like this speed, you really won’t like...

You guys know vintage sleds and either have or have ridden the old iron so it’s good to hear that you approve of the work. This was the hardest project I’ve ever attempted and it definitely pushed the limits of my ability. I had to chuckle at this but it’s a fair question. I would have to pick...

I’ve always liked the midnight blue but I think this is my favorite shade of Polaris blue. Like you said, it really comes to life in the sun. I got the shocks from Speedway Motors. The installed “ride height” is pretty close to what I needed (about 11.75”) which I think is roughly what the...

After what seems like a long time in the making (because it was), I can officially present to you….The Mutt. Brakes and clutching work excellent and the motor spins up nicely. It rips pretty good and is an absolute blast to ride, just as I thought it would be. I’m lovin’ this little sled. A...

With most sledding still a tough go, it seemed like the best way to welcome in the new year was to get a line in the water. A cousin was up at his place fishing a half-mile or so offshore so I went up and grabbed one of his sleds and joined him for a few hours. A tad breezy but a nice sunny...

Great photos, just looking at them makes me feel better. I figure that if I'm going to dream, I might as well dream big (and deep).

Wishing everyone a good 2024❄️

Merry Christmas Everyone! ☃️ LOL....Lots of Ice fishing going on but weather conditions have been all over the map, a little cooler weather and everything firms up and then warm with rain and water all over the ice. Fishing has been crazy good but you’re not getting me out there yet. I want...

Merry Christmas!

As others have said, great idea! Think we'll be seeing a lot of these on sleds/gear.

Agree, although a little shot of JB Weld probably wouldn't hurt. It's usually my answer to a lot of issues. Yeah, always trust your broken speedometer, it acutally quit working on a little spin around the yard. The sled has a fair amount of miles (8600) so I suppose I can't complain, but what...

My memory isn’t too good but it seemed like a lot of the older piping was a different material than the seat vinyl, more like a plastic bead sewn between the panels. Maybe this changed in the more recent models, I’m not sure. In any case, you're right, there was a lot more deterioration on the...

Thank you Nora for sharing an incredibly personal look into the life of the Dee family. I hope that knowing how much it means to us will provide some comfort.

My seat cover guy gave me a sample piece containing some sewing options, including pleat width, pleat stitching, and piping versus no piping. He has the seat foam now so I laid it on an extra 79 seat foam I had lying around. I liked 1 ½” double stitched pleats the best and he agreed. I’m still...

. I hadn’t planned on adding any posts before the sled is finished but it will be a while before the seat cover is done and there still has been some activity on the sled so I thought I’d throw in a minor update Since everything seemed OK with the motor/drive train I started running the sled...

There are a couple of favorite memories that come to mind. I first got to know John through his Make-A-Wish event and these are both related. When Snoluver and I went up to put the finishing touches on the second raffle sled, John insisted on buying us dinner at the Hut-Inn. We had just...

Amazing, simply amazing. Thank you Gracie for writing this and sharing it with us.
