Bummer
A friend of mine said to me the other day,...
something that really made sense, but in reality I probably
didn't want to hear.
"Ya know Vin,... You at least make it to the U.P. a couple times a year,...
But for those that don't get the opportunity whether it is because of finances or
schedule conflicts,.... and only get to ride locally on the weekends,....We only had
(ride-able) conditions at best for 7 weekends this year."
Wow,... He is right.
And now he's considering selling the sleds.
To maintain optimum yearly maintnance, insurance, ect.,...
and to spend 10 to 11 thousand dollars on a new one,....
With today's economy, you won't be seeing too many "New" sleds
around OUR area much in the future I guess.
ATV sales and their popularity will dominate.
You can utilize all 12 months in some way.
Me, I still hold out "hope" for at least ONE new sled in the next couple years,...
Those new Cat's have really spurred my attention,....
Snowmobiling means too much to me to "give it up",.....
But I can see others points of view.
Changing of the times I guess.
I wanna kick the "fat lady" right in the same groinal area I kicked
Mother Nature. But it doesn't do any good.
So,... I raise my glass and toast with YOU my friends,... for the great bond we all share,
John and Nora for sharing their lives with us, and another season of good health to us
all,.... so we may find NEXT YEAR's season LONG and Enjoyable!
(now where did I put those ear plugs,.... that Fat Lady's voice is killing me!)
