February BS Thread!

Welcome to February guys!

Late night tonight for me. Had to go to a funeral in Aitkin today. A friend's mom passed away. Working our way back home now.

Good morning, fellas. Found Feb pretty easily. Sounds like a good ride, Jay - now if the snow all melted tomorrow, at least you got a big day in. I put new hood latches and a new hood cable on my machine this weekend. Only reason it saw the sun. Did run some errands with the ford yesterday. Haven' had it running around for while. Started well and ran well...though the heater has a a "ticking" when on high, like a baseball card in the spokes. Nothin I can't deal with 'til warmer weather. 78 takes a bit longer to warm up, but goes well enough down the road.

You know, Jay - it's a "win" just having it in starting & running condition!

good work Jay! How long did that take? It would take 8-10 hours in Vermont to do that. Some area you can fly, others much slower wooded sections. Maybe I’ll get a big day or two this season. Hopefully get some snow end of the week

With lunch and dinner stops it was about 10 hours Jim. Same here. Some fast and other really slow trails through the woods.

Got both the Vmax and SRX running tonight.

Good morning fellas!

Whew, made it through Monday. Now one more day then I have a day off! Have to get tires mounted on car and a few other things done so a day off mid week sure helps.

Good job Jay. Now lets go camping! Haha
