Glad the sled worked for you! Sounds like my kind of sleds........cheap!

I revised my resume several times and came up with some good stuff finally. I applied. Now time to sit back and wait.
Good luck with your resume!

Morning all.

It was a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong night. Tom, Jay, Mike and I went up to my Dad's to go sledding. The snow was awesome. Basically a fresh 14" of powder. Trails mostly untouched.

My sled, well it's a POS and I hate it. That's a story for later.

I got home about 4:30 this morning. Jay and Tom a bit later. So I'm up but not awake and gotta get ready to work. Ugh...

Good morning Troy, Jim and the rest of MN.

Where are all of the morning posters? I feel like I rode a bucking bull last night. Whew, I must be getting old. A litt.....no, a lot sore this AM.

Yes Troy, cheap is good. We were a little hesitant to go too far cause we were not sure if our sleds would hold up. I feel more confident now.

Morning Dave. I bet you are just a bit tired, but it's not like you have to work too hard today, right?

Hey Cory!

Yeah, a bit tired is right. But you are correct. Hell, I'm supposed to be there already and I haven't left home.

It's nice when you don't have to be on time for work for a few weeks


Cory, you got those donuts made yet? I'm hungry.

The trails here were beat pretty good, but the ditches were AWESOME. Only got stuck once. I might go out again tonight, not sure yet. I need a nap.

It must have been tough going if you only got 60 miles on.
