    Electric Snowmobile

    The California ban looming seems a bit harsh but that is California. Many states out west have been under different water restrictions for 20 years or so and there aren’t the lawns/yards we enjoy in the midwest. Sadly all those mowers and blowers will go where? Landfill? Kind of a dumb approach...

    Electric Snowmobile

    So the entire hotel and restaurant industry would need to overhaul their electrical grid to accommodate many sleds and vehicles being plugged in at one time. And how would that work stopping at a restarant/bar and that group that camps out drinking all day, “sir, you need to move your sled”. My...

    The Namesake

    Good to hear you are on the mend. Do consider something like the Garmin 66i. Mine is programed to allow certain people to be able to track me on the internet. If I am not moving they will know. I wonder if they could link it to “Apple watch” that could send an alert when your vitals hit a issue?

    F-350 leveling kit

    Consider calling 8lugtruckgear.com. George is extremely knowledgeable about all domestic trucks and their weak & strong points (gas & diesel). He saved me from wasting $ on what others recommended and didn’t oversell any product. Besides he is a big snowmobiler!

    Microsoft advice

    Bummer. I feel your pain. I have a old PC that cannot get updates or it would hemorrhage so I shutoff wireless. Do you have any other PC’s that he could use to access his Microsoft account and ask for recovery by email vs phone text (however I do recall you saying they locked it for 30 days...

    Microsoft advice

    Just trying to understand what is the problem. Is it the underlying “operating system” or is it “software” like Word or Excel or Powerpoint? If it is Microsoft software is it Office 2019 or Office 365 that is where his documents are locked? Are his documents in the PC or the ”cloud”?

    Now what do I do?

    So my grandpa had the oddity from birth where his ring finger grew as long as his middle. Not sure if gloves accommodate that extra length. John, maybe you could turn it into a Pez dispenser 😉

    Tire Recommendations - F350

    I ran Firestones on my F350 diesels and Excursions. Usually saw more than 60k miles before the tread was sketchy in the winter. Whatever you get, check the build date on the tires before they put them on. I have seen some already a year old.

    Possible Veterans Day snowstorm

    Still better than economists that declare events six months after they happen or began!

    Look closer, if it could turn around “it’s a dude!”. Feel better now?

    trailer shopping

    No front ramp. Went with a cargo trailer. On my old 7x23 it was awkward using the front ramp. My F350 diesel loved having all the weight on the tongue anyway so I just used reverse.

    trailer shopping

    I picked up a 7.5’x17’, with 3’V. So basically a 14’ straight box with 3’ in the V. Fits my two 137” 4 strokes.

    trailer shopping

    Check the mfg sites but I think all of those sizes are only manufactured with a 3’ V and not 5’.

    trailer shopping

    I think what you will find is inventory is nonexistent and what you want will dictate what dealer you ultimately have to go to.

    Milwaukee Snowmobile Show

    Agree. I have my list of parts and was hoping they actually would have product so I can get them. We lost our dealership here for my sleds so oil changes, skis, etc are elusive unless I want to drive 150 miles round trip (which most do not have stock anyway).

    Milwaukee Snowmobile Show

    Wow, I was going to meet my Illinois riding buddies but opted out of the 7 hour drive. After seeing this post I went and saw the vendor list, 1 small page! Let’s hope Novi lives up to some “normalcy”. Can’t expect the Canadians will show up.
