I'm not sure if I should sell it or just keep it. One ATV is boring. I need a fleet...and friends with time to ride.


I've never been on a snow machine. They look fun.
I agree with your statements. and hope to get into both once I get settled in, in Alaska... Seems to be the place where both of those are common activities.

OK Guys.........
I have been clearing out stuff for a week now. Some days more time than others........Some things in the "Tent". Some things in the Rec Room. Some things in a shed (12' x 24' x 14' high) I built.





Front yard looking toward the garage





A little closer to the garage





under the tent. In front of red tool box, looking into the garage.





Looking west toward the 5th wheel





Front of garage looking toward the back & right (south east)....door to Rec Room with doggie door.

These are not the actual sleds, but the exact sled on the floor. Our's are in crates in the back and we are in line for assembly. I don't know how long it will take for delivery, but not too long.

I think realistically it will be rare when we can all go, but it's possible if that happens. If it becomes an issue, we'll pick up another sled. We are ready for snow at this point

I'll fix my sig when the transaction becomes official
Some good looking sleds. Got rid my last one a few years ago. Sledding conditions in my locale were hit or miss for a few years. My oldest was four months old when he got his first sled ride, my wife stuffed him in the front of her suit and zipped him in for a twenty minute run out to the cottage. I crossed open water with him between my legs when he was four. No wonder he grew up to thrash my machines and have me doing chassis repairs.

You are getting there Roy. Keep up the cleaning! It has to feel good to go through and throw out what you no longer need and being able to find your tools and stuff again.

My garage in Miami was no better. I went through it yesterday and what a difference. Ditched a bunch of stuff. Granted I am in purge mode to move... which is different.

Progress Dak.........You saw it before I started........Huge difference already.

I figure (with other stuff going on) I have another 3-4 days then clean & clean.

I expect to use up more than a week with running electrical.....compressed air lines....insulating walls and ceiling and garage door.....building work bench all along the south and west walls. The Radial Arm Saw will be part of the west wall work surface. Not sure yet where the drill press....Surface planner (13") ......scroll saw....grinder.... will be.

Then.......put stuff away in a neat organized manner............

Good evening guys,

Andre, I'm just a little jealous over the new sleds. I grew up riding Ski-Doo's my was a dealer from 1967 through I'm not sure maybe early 80's when they required there dealers to carrier a larger inventory. I left home in 1977.

Roy, I thought my shop was a mess. Good job getting it cleaned up.

Dak and Roy, I would like to see some photos of your road trip to Alaska, I think that would be cool.

Andre, 8-0 was awesome, 9-0 is awesomeR!!! Congrats to the boys. The sleds look nice.
Roy, thanks for sharing the pics, great job on the garage. Very nice of you to help the Dakster with his drive to AK.
Steve, you should patent the slide hammer vice grip idea, that was way cool and some clever thinking.

Steve, that was nice of you to fix the GF's car.

Prayers sent to Matt.

G'nite.
