Brad! When? Right now we are broke... financially and sled(ly). Dustin's Revegade is down - took it in for an estimate - $3,000 to fix it!!! Needs both fuel injection rails, which run about 750 each (so says the mechanic guy) and then there's something wrong with the rings and the gear box thingy and one side has really low compression. We don't have $3,000 to fix it.

Jim's TCat needs new shocks - but Dustin can ride it the way it is, Jim can't.

Jim's Frankensled seems to be running okay, but it fouls plugs alot, so Jim thinks the oil flow rate is too high, he needs to adjust that.

Dylan's sled (even after hitting a tree) is doing really good after the home repairs. The bulkhead has a small bend and a little crease in it, but for the most part, it's doing well.

Doug got his Renegade back, it's running better, hopefully it won't flash another engine code...
Doug's Summit seems to be okay...

My sled is fine - I love it. Maybe I can stuff it in the back of my Mini van and come join you!?!?!?!

Dave B - I soooooooooooo totally know how you feel!

800etec - THANKS!! The grieving process is the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life - I haven't cried this much since I was 4. The last month has felt like an eternity.

Decided to get the Dragon fixed instead of dumping it.

The snow better last up there for a few more weeks! Need to get at least one more ride in this year.

Mama Bear needs to use her NOAA Dot power to make sure we get some early spring riding this year!

Dave - good to hear you're gonna fix the DRagon!

E's actually thinking of selling his switchback - only has 1000 miles on it........ He wants to upgrade his wheeler - and we still have "Lola" - so he'll drive her again......But he said he won't be calling her that! LOL

Now if I can get over what ever this illness is......From a cold to bronchitis - antibiotics don't seem to have done it...... HOpefully I will feel better soon and there will still be snow left to ride!

800 their good in most places down here in Watersmeet & Bruce Crossing, west of Bruce on trail 8 is showing dirt in places, road crossings are done and so are parking lots. If you can get around that it's great, temps the last 2 mornings were freezing -19 and -10 so it's really helping what the groomers are doing.

Rode from here to Houghton on Friday and back on Saturday and all trails were AWESOME!

Dave keeping my fingers crossed for you :)

I am supposed to have it back by next weekend. Not much faith in that but, if I do, we all need to plan one last hurrah to do some Bobcat hunting!

Make sure it fits in your backpack. I would hate to see you lose it on the trail for some 20 year old to steal!

Oh wait, are you trying to say you'll go to the Western UP with me when the sled is fixed?

Well, FINALLY some good news coming from the Campbell Clan!!!!

Well, it took 4 years... literally 4 years to the week... to accomplish my mission! March 20, 2009 was my final day at Best Buy due to the massive layoffs of 2009. I promised I would be back. I always keep my promises.

I returned as a contract worker in June of 2010. At that time, my goal was to keep getting my contract extended until I was able to get a permanent job. WELL - I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THAT GOAL!!! YEEEHAW!!!!

I have been offered and have accepted a FULL TIME PERMANENT POSITION WITH BEST BUY MOBILE!!! I get to continue to work with the awesome mobile team AND the field teams, and the store managers, but in a different role, the Sr. Specialist - Asset Protection BBYMobile. I start that job 3/25/13. 4 years to the week after I left - I AM BACK!!! I AM SO FREAKIN' GIDDY! :D

This is exactly what I needed. When I applied for the job and got through the interviews, I asked my Dad and Katie to put a good word in for me with the Big Guy - They came through for me! :) THANK GOD! I finally have a job that will provide even BETTER for my family! I am stupid giddy.
