    Shirley, You Can't Be Serious?

    That's what I said, when I called our local Can Am/BRP Dealer to schedule an Oil and Filter change for my Spyder. You've probably seen them in the showroom or on the road. The thing is a "gas" to ride, like a snowmobile in the summer time. Ours is nine years old, bought new, almost trouble-free...

    What's Wrong with Snowmobiling?

    Well, ask the question and get a thousand answers. It's subject matter that has been discussed here from time to time and I thought since we're into the Off Season, it'd be a good time to discuss. The video runs about 16 minutes so maybe a beverage of your choice would be advised. (consumption...

    Lawn Service; Yea or Nea

    We're moving into Early Spring in some parts. How's your lawn look? Some of us care too much, while others hack it off with any means necessary. I'm somewhere in the middle. I like a nice lawn but not to the point of being down on my hands and knees looking for problems. Anyway.... Who pays for...

    Do You Know This Guy?

    Here's some video from a guy that may remind you of somebody. Could be a relative, a neighbor, or just a guy you work with. And if you watch enough of his vids, you'll say, " yup, been there, done that, tried that once". A little bit of humor, some common sense, and mechanical troubleshooting...

    It's Been Awhile...

    It's been awhile since we've had a Snowstorm like this last one. Maybe not since Gramps (pictured above) had to put chains on the Studebaker! We all remember the storms of our youth and they always seemed larger than the present. Snowed in for days, no school, everything frozen including Dad...
