hello all, happy new year, its been awhile, we got home early this afternoon, just in time to go to class. what a awesome week in munising, the snow kept falling, we had some great rides. 900 miles for the week, two days of logging trails were fantastic though. back to the grind tomorrow, 16 hours....... welcome back!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK BROTHER VINNIE! You can DOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT! I agree with Skylar - you should get it just cuz you're THAT TALL!!
Glad all those folks that went riding over the holiday had a GREAT TIME! I heard the snow just kept falling UP there! YEEHAW!
It was CCCCCCOOOOOLLLLLLDDDDD here, furnance decided to shut down on me Friday night. Got down to 49* in the house. To keep warm the kids and I kept moving! We baked a pie, baked cookies, put a pot roast in the crock pot... we were a little chilly but we ate like royalty! The furnance fixer guy showed up a fixed it so by Saturday night we were all warmed up.
Today is a busy day for me... my new class started so I've got homework to work on, discussions to participate in and papers to write. I've got some phone interviews and I've got some in person interviews. I'm gonna hold back any excitement on them until I know more than an interview.
Y'all have a GREAT WEEK!

Well being back to work has its +'s and -'s ok I'll just say it, it SUCKS, but at least I'm still working, for those of you interveiwing testing and looking, best of luck. I really can't do much of my regular job with one good arm so I get to do all the crap paperwork yippeee. Did so much writing yesterday i couldn't move my arm last night. Glad everyone had a great time in the northlands, hopefully we'll make it one of these trips

Guy, back up. I bent my steering post mount when you and I were digging me out. If I can bent it back and install a steel plate I should be able to repair it for free. Other wise I have to pull the engine again and have it re-welded which will up set Allison - $800.00 for that fix. Things happen. It will be fixed by the ride in.
It was a great weekend and a ton of fun........

Hey Juls - Good luck on the interviews. Sounds like some activity at least. Get enough of them going, and all you need is one good one to hit.
Sounds like a good time was had at Burgland. Nice pics too Kaboolie. Looks like the Walleye Lodge was more fun for the group then the time I was there with my wife and son. I think they have new owners now too don't they?

HI ALI!! Glad you finally made it!!!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
Vinnie Baby - why you have to wait til Saturday to take your test!?! Who knows... maybe BOTH of us will have a job this month!? That would be a kickass why to start the New Year!!<o></o>
<o></o>
So my interview went great. It was perfect. Everything about it was perfect. They said they would make their decision tomorrow or the next day. Now I have to just keep a cool head - I can't get all giddy about it and then deal with the disappointment.<o></o>
<o></o>
My phone interview also went well... as a matter of fact it went so well that they think I would be even better for a different role they are looking at. So they are calling me back tomorrow with those details. She said their firm is overwhelmed with orders to fill in the next 30 days. I said OKAY… let's get to getting me a job then!<o></o>
<o></o>
Jim and Doug are back from Wyoming. Burgess Junction is where they went. Said it was GREAT! The lodge they stayed at - Bear Lodge - is the perfect family place. So, if we get jobs and then if we get to keep the sleds… we will be making a family trip out there next season.<o></o>
<o></o>
I just saw Doug's sled… he sure did a number on that baby. Might be totaled! Doug's got some of his own body damaged too… a bruise the size of a 5 lb sack of taters from his knee up his thigh. OUCHIE! But he's got a big arse grin on his face, so I'm thinkin' he had fun! He's glad he tanked the '03 Renegade rather than the '06 Summit!<o></o>
<o></o>
Jim came home with minimal damage to his sleds. Hit a log with his Highmark and cracked the thingy on the bottom near the clutch, put a little hole in it, so he didn't ride it after that cuz he didn't want to get snow in the clutch. He said it's an easy fix. He said his 1000 Renegade was having electrical problems again… thinks it might be the stator again…. So he took it in for warranty work.<o></o>
<o></o>
I better get to my homework! Y'all have a great night!<o></o>

It sounds like everyone had a good time over the New Year holiday. I had fun in Munising. The trails were in great shape when I went out. I didn't get many miles in, but that usually happens when I do most of my riding alone.
I'm still toying with selling the sled, especially after I found out this weekend that my truck started burning oil like crazy. I am not looking forward to finding out how much it is going to cost me to get it fixed.
I'm off to get some shut eye (I already had an unexpected nap about an hour ago!).

SCOOOOOOOOP!: EX-Nay on the "Thinking of selling sled" Thing.
Get out of the doldrums girl! Ya gotta take a day off and come up riding!!!!
Keep me (us) posted about the oil burning thing on the Tahoe. That sounds
yucky!
JULS: Taking the test Saturday because it is done at NWTC campus for everyone
"State-Wide", for numerous positions. WISH I could take it locally. Just hope I have
a "clear head" and a good night sleep. It is pretty much a "common sense" test from
what I heard. Since I lacke "common sense", I'm a little nervous. LOL!!!!
Hope your interviews turn out to be GREAT news sista!
Sounds like Jimbeau and Dougy had a great time,... bruises,... YIKES! Thats why I keep
MY arse on the TRAILS.)
BRADZOO: Hey lil' bro, While you're working with Scott on some highly advanced engineering projects,... Can you come up with a flexible "body cast" to take away the
aches and pains of being outta-shape and old? and also, if you could work on a pill that
would make me a "Skinny Vinnie" overnight,... that right there would REALLY be appreciated! Get right on that,... eh?) Hope you heal up enough to get some riding in this year bro.
GUY: Glad to see you didn't attempt any backward flips on the recent ride! Gotta have ya in top condition for the "Ride In")
Well, Back to the "honey-do" lists.

Hey Big Bro, I'm thinkin one of them new hydralic/electric Exoskeletons that they are designing for the military but until we come up with the skinny vinny pill its gonna have to come in Big Bro size or maybe we can get you one that will be like a compression suit of course then it would make ya about 8' tall. I think we're gonna have to go to the drawing board on this on. I'll get back to ya
