    You should come to the Old Engine show in Buckley Mi in August. About 15 miles from me. We donated my wife’s gpa’s hand made machining tools circa 1900. Sadly all were lost 20 years ago in a building fire…

    Cool stuff. I made sure it went to a good home. A son in law got it for his saw collector father in law’s birthday. Apparently he walked out of the party immediately and had it going in an hour 😁

    50 Years Ago, Monday

    Lived in Mqt at the time. We heard that Ed was out there and we went down to the local park to check out the waves. Standing up above Superior by 20’-30’ on a rock jet-out we got hit by a wave, wool overcoat froze instantly and getting back the car was difficult.

    Kalkaska, MI

    I live in TC (west side). Kalkaska or east side of TC can offer you out the door riding be it sleds, dual-sport motorcycles or ATVs. Abundance of walking and bicycle paths. Kalkaska to Fife Lake is rural, for now, with some public lands buffering development.

    Time for a New Helmet?

    I don’t have the flow shield and will be getting one. With the current non-vented shield it takes some finesse. If your sled rca outlet cuts out while idling you need to open the shield while sitting. Some have had the rca controller go bad. Those are the only “cons” I can say. I really like...

    fuel system cleaner

    I have used Lucas diesel/gas additive for the last 15 years. I was a Techron guy but since Lucas can work on diesel and gas I buy it by the gallon. Used on the trucks diesels to lube the fuel pumps and never any issue with any of my diesels.

    Favorite section of trail

    Let’s keep in touch. Our base is 3 1/2 miles from 8/7… Last year was the second year we never made it to BB. I rode solo from Mqt to BB every year from the late 70’s. Funny how back in the day the older sleds were slower with metal skis, ungroomed trails, and I still managed to slide off trail...
