We won't be making that one either, too much snow around here to get that one approved. I'm still hoping to squeeze in a couple more trips up to the MN North Shore though. Have fun those of you that do get together out there.

Brotha Bradzooooooooo,
Made a note of those dates,... if we "still have snow",...
and I am "available",.. it would be great to at least catch
One ride with ya this year.
)
Went for an Interview yesterday (Corrections Officer Position)
Started off by the interviewers with "Congratulations first off, for
making it THIS far",.... Holy Crap! Guess they got a SLEW of
applications, and between weeding them out, and the people who
failed that 4hr test I took awhile back,....wow.
Then,
The interview ROCKED!
I was nervous as all heck going in,... but then just told myself,...
Be honest, and Be Yourself! It worked.
So, now I will WAIT for at least a month,.. for the results.
(they still have some more interviews scheduled,.... some coming in
from as far away as Colorado!). So,... At least THAT part is over.
I "lightened" them up on one of their questions,....
So,...Randy,.... What are some of your weaknesses?
I replied: "Pizza")
I'll keep y'all posted. I am just glad I thought I did well.
The snow we got the last couple of days,.... really burned off
yesterday,... it got up to 39 here. YIKES. Warm next couple of days
predicted also. Doesn't take much now, to wreck things.
Sure hope we get some more snow to ride locally.(
I'd like to have Scoop come up and rail the trails here,...
There still is time. THINK SNOW!
Off to Houghton this weekend with TomAss and Nasty,...
It is our yearly Copper Harbor Vintage Ride.
Got the old '72 Nordic all ready to go! This years ride
has more hp than the Fox Trac I smoked last season! LOL!
Love them vintage sleds!
Have a Great weekend everyone.

)Randy! That is great news! I am so happy for you and have my EVERYTHING crossed for ya! I totally know how it feels to WAIT and WAIT for the results of your interview. I'm pulling for ya big guy! Doncha just LOVE that I rocked it feeling!?
I had an interview yesterday... the most bizarre thing happened... when I walked out I did not have ANY good feelings about it!! I wasn't even excited about the job. The guy was nice enough, but I didn't get the "I WANT THIS JOB" feeling like I have had for the others. That bothered me all night and still this morning. My luck... the one I didn't care for, I will get an offer on!
I have meeting Friday with a professional staffing service. There were three different people that called me and during our conversations referred me to one of their partners. Apparently, they gave my information to the partner and expressed their desire for me to call her. So I did. She said I MUST come see her as she feels that she can put me to work very quickly. I sure hope so!
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
Bradzoooooo and Kelly Tooooooooo… yeah… we won't be making that one either…UNLESS there is a job in my future. As always… we'll wait and see…
<o></o>
Gotta get back to my homework! My final is next week so I've got studying to do!

That's wonderful news BV to have gotten so far already. What you made sound like a distant long shot not too long ago just got a lot closer. Hopefully it will happen for you. Good luck!
Juls - A job offer would be good news, but it would sure suck if it was for a job you weren't interested in. Hopefully your other contacts pan out and can find you something first.
Belated Happy Birthday Kelly.

Well we really wanted to try and make it over to Houghton, but its just not in the pennies this year, so we are trying to keep it within the budget and get in one more ride.
Randy I hope you can make it, and I hope all goes well and you get the job, did they make you stand up and get a mean on just to see if you would scare the inmates,AHAHAHHAHAAHA
Juls as you know I hope something happens soon!!!!!
Maybe we will be more organized next year.

Happy Belated Birthday Kelly!!!
I wish we could make it out there to join you guys in Hulbert - but it won't be happening this year.
Loved the pictures you guys posted - jealous!!!
Randy - I'm so excited for you!) Keep us posted!!!
Juls - sorry I missed your call yesterday - busy day at work. I assume you found your way out of DT safely? I miss DT - I had way too much working down there.......
OK - back to studying and working. I signed myself up for a benefits certification course - and oh boy - I think I may be in over my head.........

Darn, Bradzoo, I sort of committed to head down to Madison, WI that weekend. It's not cut in stone, but I really need to get my truck fixed as well, so I should probably save my money for that since no matter what is wrong with the truck it's going to be big bucks to fix. I think I may have had my last ride of the season last weekend.
BigVin - great news on the interview! I'm sure you rocked them. I wish you good luck! It would be nice if we got another round of snow in Cheeseland so that we can hook up and ride near your house. We'll see what transpires in the next few weeks.
I'm not sure what's up with me lately but I can't seem to stay awake during the evening. I keep falling asleep during the Olympics. It's starting to tick me off. The only thing I accomplished last night was getting everything together so I can do my taxes. Boy, I sure hope I get some kind of a refund. This is my first "normal" tax return since I got divorced so I'm not quite sure what to expect.

Well... today's ride was cut short by the PO PO! Dylan was busted for riding without a Snowmo Safety Cert - which I don't get... the Regs say that under 14 can ride w/o SSC while under direct supervision of an adult - he was being supervised by Doug. However, Doug and Dylan BOTH jumped off this hill along side of the trail which apparently got the attention of the PO PO. So that got Doug busted for trespassing! We have always thought that hill was part of the trail - there are no signs that say it's not and the trail is really not marked that well. Also, turns out… the land is owned by the AUNT of the sheriff that busted them.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o> </o>
So the PO PO told Doug to take Dylan home. The sheriff guy told Doug normally they have to take the sled and the kid would have to ride double up home. But he said if Doug took Dylan straight home he would let Dylan ride the sled home.<o></o>
<o></o>
So back to the riding without a SSC - I've got the rule book right here... it says:<o></o>
<o> </o>
Exception for Residents and Non-Residents<o></o>
Without a snowmobile safety certificate, a person under the age of 14 years may operate a snowmobile only if they are supervised or accompanied by one of the following: parent, legal guardian, or other person 18 years of age or older designated by the parent or guardian. The supervising or accompanying adult needs to be close enough to be able to direct the youth’s operation of their snowmobile. This exception does not allow an operator under the age of 14 to cross a public road.<o></o>
<o> </o>
I just got clarification from Dylan... I think the reason he got the ticket for Dylan is because he crossed the hwy by himself. Doug went across the highway, Dylan crossed and they both ran up the hill. The sheriff was behind Dylan, passed Dylan with flashing lights and pulled Doug over and during the conversation with Doug they asked Dylan how old he was and if he had a certificate. Dylan told him he was 13 but did not have a certificate.
Go figure...

Hey folks!
Juls: That sucks.
Well,.. just got back from the Weekend in Houghton and Copper Harbor.
It was a blast. Antique Ride Weekend!
Really warm up there. For the FIRST time EVER,.. It did not snow One single day
that I was up there. Dang El Nin~o! Nice riding tho. Had a blast with Nasty and
TomAss. My '72 Nordic ran awesome,... until 1/2 mile from the trailer on the return
trip,.... Blew a Piston.(
Next year,... I'm getting a fricking Alpine.
Sad seeing the snow "dissapear" with every mile back (once in Wisconsin).
Sure hope we get some here quick. Too Early to pull the pin.
Well,...
That 14 mile extremely bumpy trail on a sled with NO suspension,...
Knocked the crap outta me,... so I'm off to re-coup!
(did ya hear the beer can being opened?)
Later Peeps!
