Yeah I am sure you are. It takes time............ Doing good here. I was hoping this cold might spawn a little business but not much so far.
I'd rather I had not junk so I wouldn't need the fancy AE!

Thanks Troy but honestly I'm not ready. Still need to pull the clutches because last year it destroyed 2 belts on one ride which I should be able to get probably close to 2000 out of. But the sled has almost 10000 miles on it and never had the clutches off so probably due for some cleaning and new parts $$$

A few flurries here as well but that is about it. Just wind and cold.

I was on the phone with a vendor in California and she was saying that it was cold. I told her it was snowing sideways when I looked out the window and she didn't really have much pity for me.

You should have told her to go sit in a freezer for an hour and then she might have some idea of what it is like here compared to there! LOL

Not hard but you can loose parts if you don't know what you are doing. And without specialized tools you better know what you are doing.

Yes we do. Dave says he knows something about them (Is there anything he doesn't know? Besides how to grow a money tree?) LOL
