Good morning Troy!

Yup, busy Monday. Is it time to camp yet? Time to get the sleds all repaired and put away for the year.

Happy Tuesday guys. I was gone snowmobiling one last time in International Falls this weekend. Sure was nice up there.

Howdy Jay! Glad you had a good time. With the temps this week the snow is melting pretty good.

I was going to go back again this weekend but I don't think the trails will hold up with these temps.

Yeah I wasn't excited to this snow either Cory. At least it will all melt away this week.

Got a start on assembling the 6.4 yesterday late in the day. Got the cam and crank in it and pistons on the connecting rods. Tonight we'll get going on it again. Hopefully get all the pistons it.
How is the truck going?

Good morning guys.

Good afternoon Troy, Jay and MN. have a productive hump day.
I went riding yesterday with a buddy. Not big miles, 132. With the temps and weather we figure it will be the last of getting to ride a decent sized area. We did have to wait for a moose in the trail to move. Rode a section of trail that parallels the border with Canada. Even crossed into Canada for about 60' to use a shared bridge over a little brook.

Lol! I do know Troy.

Sounds like a fun trip Jim. We were just across a river/dam from Canada.

Couple pictures on the border plus a friendly encounter with a young moose later in the ride

Good morning Jim. Looks like you have a decent amount of snow. That's a young moose.
