I don't have to buy new carbides next winter. The ones I bought THIS year are still in the package.

Actually, almost everyone is getting a lot less miles for their $45, so that's not making it any easier to swallow. I got just two rides in for my $45. Not complaining (anymore), just hoping for at least one more ride.

Accidents and deaths are actually up this year due to heavy traffic where there is snow. Too many sleds on just a few trails. Too many people too anxous to get out and ride.

Yep, my one gallon of oil should last me all winter.

On the really good side, my heating bills are half of what they were last winter!

Also, I just pulled a bunch of fresh carrots out of my garden that I never pulled last summer. Still had green tops and were very crispy and good!

At least nothing has broke on my sled this year and its still clean!

My furnace isn't running as much.

I got 700 miles on..... In one week. :-( I have been averaging 3000 miles a season for the last 4 years. The ol'boys say we will get all of our winter in march... Time will tell.

I am saving tons of cash!

My fresh gas is old...

 

[eyeman]

150 miles. $45. $0.30 per mile. Not bad considering the Federal tax mileage reimbursement is over $0.50 per mile. Oh!!!; that's just the green sticker, I forgot about room and board, booze, fuels, etc.... Gotta luv our sport.

More extra special quality time with the wife and kids at home????

Caught up on all the TV shows you never get to watch in the winter?

I bet I could take my boat out on Lake Erie later today for walleye if I really wanted to.

It doesn't look there's any ice on the American side!

And the garden tools in the back packs won't be worn out this winter, ready for spring planting.

This winter has been pretty easy on the wood pile.

-Hoping that this winter will lead me to a leftover 2012 sled next fall at a good discount
-I've used far less salt (2 pallets vs 10 at this time last winter)

I suspect us stand uppers are the only ones riding. We don't need no "Mr. Fancy Pants" trails that are groomed to perfection. Six days of 3' to 6' of powder riding tuckers me out. 600 miles with 30 hrs. On sled. Heck I am averaging 20 mph with my 800. That is a little fast for off trail riding.
