You mean eerily silence.

So you did mainly trail riding? Get to try out the longer track at all?

Had a lot of fun Mike. Too bad you didn't make it out.

Did a very small amount of off trail stuff. Longer track works pretty good. More stable on the trail but a little harder to corner.

Exactly.

Eery like when I accidentally shut down the UPS powering all of the servers and network gear at work. It got awfully quiet until I started swearing.

Worth it in my opinion. I did 203 miles Friday. I need to put a 1.25 on that 09 and hopefully stud it. I miss that from the 05. The 1" not studded spins a lot

Good evening everyone! Just sitting down to do a bit of studying. It's been a busy weekend and I was way too tired last night to even attempt studying.

Katie is doing great. Much better than expected in fact. She was able to walk around the house a bit today without crutches and get up and down the stairs without them as well. The pain factor today is way less than it has been. She got through the night with only one round of meds last night and took only the anti-inflammatory med this morning. She didn't need anymore meds until tonight after she started doing more of the exercises she is supposed to do. Overall, she is progressing much faster than we expected.

Been there .. done that, except it was on purpose for a fire suppression kill switch test. We have roughly 75 2U servers with 2 - 21ton A/C units. We activated the emergency kill switch to test it after we put the fire suppression system in. We had the noise level tested after the A/C units were put in. The general noise level is too loud for anyone to work in the room full time by OSHA standards (we had someone that wanted to). I NEVER want to hear the silence that followed the kill switch test again.

Went snowmobiling for the first time in my adult life today. My Dad has a Polaris Indy something. I'm not even sure how old it is. Maybe 10 years. It's sort of a family sled (long story). It hardly ever gets used (hasn't been enough snow for the last few years).

I didn't do much except take the kids around the field a bit. Never got about 30mpg. I probably could have gone a little faster with my daughter, but the boys are so light, they'd fly right off with the slightest bump.

Good night all. I've reached the point that I can't keep my eyes open to study. I'll have to try again tomorrow night.

Hey everyone! Sounds like a good weekend was had by all! I was in Fargo with my sister and a few cousins, and had an absolute blast! Goofed around replacing a door handle on my sister's Oldsmobile, and then taught her how to check her tire pressure, oil, and how to replace windshield wipers. I ate too much at the various places we went. I've just kind of been winding down tonight after running around Fargo/Moorhead all weekend.
