What the heck. Now, I know why there were so many cool sleds when we stopped for lunch on Thursday. Didn't know about the ride and it was a mystery seeing them all together.

To the bold. I know which club you mean. I sure hope they can get their game together. We base out of their grooming area. We're dang close to simply finding a new base area because of the nightmare riding we deal with over and over. Judging by traffic levels, I'd say a lot have already...

I wonder how many of those tickets he has issued? A few year back, I was riding with one other guy. I stopped at the sign and saw the pickup. No big deal. When we got to the highway, I checked to see if the buddy had caught up before crossing. He was waving to go, so I crossed. I saw the...

A lot of honest wisdom in that post. I'll add to the part about those useless stop signs. Too many with no traffic makes people numb to stopping. I know it's tempting as all get out after so many. As far as nabbing people. There is a stop sign outside Greenland along the highway on trail 3...

That is good advice. For that reason, try to use the drop point in town. We base out of Bergland with a .6 mile ride across the bay. It can get hairy even in that short distance sometimes. The lake issue may be a factor in your food choice. The west side trail 1 is down for logging so 13 is...

Year around grill action here too. My menu isn't nearly as nice. I just throw some hunks of meat on the grill about 300 times a year. I have the early version of the performer grill and refillable tank. I like the setup with easy lighting and wood flavor. The company has been pleasantly...

Yep. I've never seen one with nice paint. We seemed to always have a bunch laying around with worn holes and broken sections. They were tough. They were also heavy. I bet that sled had plenty of ski pressure.

We went to an event to honor veterans. I met this guy and heard some of his stories. Pretty incredible guy. He tells about the experience as if it just happened. It is hard to fathom how much these guys went through and sacrificed.

Oh man. That's a tough one. He was one of those people that just simply reminded you that life is simple and important. He did so much with so little fanfare. I always enjoyed meeting him and sharing a conversation. I have to admit that he left me in awe at times. Casual conversation about...

I'm with @katden4 , on the slower ground speed. It's worth verifying that your blade speed vs ground is enough before going nuts on mechanical diagnosis. One thing I've noticed with many newer mowers is the slower blade speed. I'm not sure if Deere went that route? Their older stuff had those...

Pretty cool. Those programs aren't even that expensive. Makes the ol crop circles look like rookie stuff. Buddies kid did a map program on about twenty acres using fall tillage equipment. He wrote out "Marry Me" on corn stubble. From the ground, the field looked like patchwork tilling. He...

X2 Don't go thicker unless planning to do the whole dock.

I like the lowball offer idea. Been there done that. The seller in my case wouldn't consider the offer when they heard the price, They played around with drama games for six months before they came back and asked if the offer was still good. It was a fair market offer and transaction was...

We have a 24 and two 25 versions along with a couple of Procross trail sleds that I rode last season. The Catalyst sleds all have similar mileage around 3,700-4k. The 24 seat seemed stiff until getting some miles. The 25 seats felt good until getting some miles and then it started to feel too...

My own bucket list changed over the years. Often items I checked one off, made room for another. For example, I wanted to see the country. That morphed into why not try to see every state. I ended up doing OTR during summers my last couple years of school. It wasn't a fancy goal, but I hit...

I think it's great to start young. A lot of the things that end up on bucket lists are harder to do when the body gets a little tired.

I sure hope you are wrong about having three pilot lights working and one that is not. That most likely means that one pilot is leaking raw gas. There is an incredible difference between the terms pilot and burner. Pilot flames are small standing flames that should burn at all times. Burner...

Some of these questions give me a smile. It's a nice break from melting snow. @jjj70095 , What model is the oven? Does the cooktop even use a pilot light? It helps to know if it has spark igniters or hot surface? It is likely a spark igniter, I would assume the tech tried cleaning with a...

@indy_500 , It's interesting hearing your exact scenario. We had two newer riders in our group and rode Lake of the Clouds route on the second day. One of them ran into the back of his dad's sled coming out of the whoop section right at the ski road. The kid mentioned that he wasn't looking...

Crud. These things are supposed to break on the last trip so you get all summer to fix them. The sled stuff is all fixable. I'm more concerned about the little man getting back into the groove. One of our group's regulars never really got back into riding after a tree clanger incident...
