Squat - does a person need a roommate and participate in the trip? LOL We're hoping to arrive mid day on Dec 31 so we can get a little more riding in.

Brother Squat!

:eek:)

Me and the Mrs will be
Spending New Years as in the past,... With Crazy Nasty and TomAss.
ALWAYS a hooooot!
May be in that area? (one of the days we could meet up?)

I am the entertainment / Emcee again for the Ride In. That is ALWAYS
an Honor and an Awesome Time!
I don't know who will be up there with me this year,...
Last year I was "solo" and met up with The "Minnesota Gang"!
I "may" need a place to rest my head! :eek:)

So glad to see you got yourself a sled!
I am about to head to town (to pay some bills) and check out the trails,...
Suppose to "open" here today.
Cold though. only 10 degrees at 10am.

I am flying to Raleigh N.C. on Thursday to visit a Long Lost Friend!
He was the best man at our wedding, and it is his 50th birthday,...
His wife is sending me out there for his "Suprise Present". I am sure
there will be Many tears and beers and great stories to share and catch
up on,.... then,.... when I get back,... it will be Sled Time! (oh ya, and Christmas!)

As the "Ride In" Approaches, I hope to know more on my "staying where-abouts".

Think * Snow!
:eek:)

Well, if I wasn't planning on heading up to Munising for New Years, I might have taken you up on your trip to Bergland. Last year was the first year in a long time that I didn't spend New Year's Eve in Munising, so I told my friend I was planning to head up there so we can continue our New Years Eve tradition. I am planning to bring my sled and I hope to go for a ride, even if I have to go alone.

As for the Ride-In, I would love to go but I cannot afford to spend $90 a night for a room for one person, so I may pass again this year.

This could be the last year I will ride. I started thinking about the whole idea of selling the sled thing again. I can't see me being able to afford to ride much and it doesn't do me much good sitting in the garage. Plus, it is hard to hook up with people to ride with and I am sort of sick of driving everywhere alone. If I could sell it, I would have a little bit of piece of mind in the bank just in case my job ever goes away like so many others. It is something I will have to mull over the holidays.

Sorry, I'm having a bad day. I get depressed when I hear about more paper mills closing which means more people losing their jobs. One of the mills that is closing is in the U.P. It just sucks.

Scoop I found a place just south of Houghton for $35.00 a night for a single person, i'll e-mail you the link. I understand the driving alone, I've been doing a lot of that lately!! But I've told you before that your more than welcome to join us anytime we go riding, ya you'd still have to drive alone but you'd have friends to ride with!!

Brad you better be careful or their gonna paint you!! lol If they do make sure Kelly posts a pic!

I might have a opening in my room BV. I won't know until next weekend if my "roomy" can make it, so you have first dibs if you're not already booked by then.

If that happens....I'll have to bring my git-tar so we can hoot, hollar and call up all the women in the hotel while we jam and get drunk. :) ( I see police lights in our future!)

Scoop:

You know you can always take off from our place,...
With or without us. With the New Highway, It is ONLY
an hour (if that) North of you. And now, the trail is only
300 yards from the driveway!
Once you get rid of the sled, odds are ya won't get back in.
I'd sure hate to see that happen, You're a Great rider, and
you love sleddin'.
Think Happy Thoughts sista! Happy, Happy, Happy!
:eek:)

Big Hugs ((((($))))) from your family.

Now, Belly up to da bar and have a cold one!
Squat's Captian and Cokes are "kicking in" and he's
about to do a Pole dance! Yipppeeeee!

........Oh oh,.... He just grabbed Bradzoo's "Snow Dance Hat" !

:eek:)

Here... not feeling well today... going back to bed.

Scoop - don't sell! Like Vinnie said - HAPPY THOUGHTS!

No riding in our future at this point. Not sure about the Ride In - I doubt we will go... The boys want to meet John Dee and are begging us to go to the Ride In - but there is no money. So we may just have to wait til next year. I'd rather wait til next year than lose all our sleds!!

Squat - you forgot to tell the old thread you started a new one! DOH!

Back to bed!

REV IT UPx3!!!

Hi all, survived the storm and another B-day.

Scoop - I just will echo what everyone else has said. Don't sell. I understand the frustration of driving/trailering alone. Ever thought of storing your sled up by friends that are "on the way" to the areas you like to ride? Might give you a reason to visit those friends more often to ride and save some of the gas money of all the towing allowing for more trips and saddle time.

Happy Holidays All!

Well, I am going to be at the Ride-In. I made reservations at the same place K-Boo and Squat are staying at. I'm happy! Now I just have to find some extra money somewhere. I have to remember to register, too.

I still have to think about the whole selling the sled thing. BigVin is right, if I sell I will probably never get back into the sport (unless I win the lottery). So far I will stick to my original plan and see how this year goes. If I find that keeping the sled is unaffordable, I will have to seriously think about letting it go. I will cross that bridge later.

BigVin - Have fun in Raleigh! Let me know when the trails are good to go up by you and I will take you up on your offer!

Julie - Darn, I wish you guys could go to the Ride-in but I totally understand. I hope you feel better.

PFD - I am planning to be up in Munising over New Year's. I am planning to drive up on the 30th. I most likely will be staying with friends in town. I would love to hook up for a ride, especially since I don't have anyone to ride with up there (unless I randomly hook up with someone).

Time for some sleep. Later....
