Sherwin......That's awesome. Post some pics bud, Merry X-Mas to you!!

Brett.....No, haven't taken it out. Had a couple Rockstar 6.9's while assembling. I don't Drink n Drive. Anything. When I was done I kinda wished I didn't have any. This morning I'll be taking it out. Starting at 100PSI. Ride height is a bit lower which I wanted but couldn't do with the stock shock. (spring would get loose under power or jumping) Looking at it after I posted last night I ended up bringing the skid up in the front another notch. Didn't help starting at it for an hour 1st. I took my windshield off so when it's that cold and I ride I try and stick to the trails out of the wind. Phazers are cold sleds as it is.

Gigger..... -22 here right now, feels alot warmer this morning. Light dusting of snow too Only bad thing about that it makes for a flat sled ride

Randy......I hear you on the price. Almost moved on the Viper, but 13 before taxes and a loss of 4 G+ just taking it home doesn't appeal to me. I hope I don't break it again anytime soon. I'm gonna have to pass by anything I see I usually make a run at for awhile. But i'll tell ya, 10,413Kms on my baby with only skid problem and those are my fault jumping/blitzing anything rough I can find. Look forward to your return with the sled!! We'll make a full day of it.

Grant.....I haven't been out yet, but i'm sure, positive I heard the groomer on hwy 44 by Garson (home) while out getting some wood for the stove. That would be a nice start to the season considering im usually the 1st one making any tracks around here Did MPI give you your X-Mas Bonus yet? Hope alls going well there with Mumzie!!

Happy saturday mornin'all. Another cold on in the peg. We Haven't settled with MPI yet. This really sucks this close to Christmas. Once we settle, they tell us, we have to turn in the rental shortly after. Today is the only day we don't have hockey for a while, so it's off SUV shoppin. This sure puts a lot of pressure on us. Stay warm my freind's and have a great weekend.

Good morning Clint, Curtis, Grant, Gerry, Randy, Brett, Sherm, Steve and all who lurk here. It`s nice to see you all drop in daily. Congratulations on another new Ford truck Sherm, by now Royal Ford must have given you a key to the dealership!
Gerry, it`s -25°C, -30°C with the wind chill.
Grant, have you got any offer yet or are they keeping you guessing?

Good afternoon guys, hope your weekends are going better than mine. I just got off nightshift so my sleep is all screwed up, on top of that my neighbours decided to have a party last night, and we live in a dueplex. So at 3am we had to call the cops to get them to turn down their music. After all that I wake up this morning to find my girlfriend's had been keyed. At least her car is only a sun fire and nothing special, but still the fact that they keyed it is what pisses me off.

It's not the first time we have had to call the cops on them and won't be the last. Last time we called the cops, one of the tires on my truck magically got a 1/4" deep gash in the sidewall. Anyways enough about me complaining lol, I'd be in for pics of Sherm's new truck! Speaking of new trucks, I was heading to the store today with my girlfriend and we had to stop in her work for something quick. While I was waiting I noticed the conservation officers got a new truck and it so happened to be a brand new Super duty, their previous trucks were dodges so I'm glad they back to buying Fords!!

Sorry to hear about your misfortunes Randy. I had the same problem about 30 yrs ago we had a neighbor across a shared driveway that always parked over the line in winter in our driveway. I called the police, and they said, Deal with it, so I did. I went to his house, knocked on the door, and his big a$$ed wife answered in a very inapropriate way. He then came to see me, all 90lbs of him. When I stood up to him 5'10'' 225lbs, I told him I'd buy him a shovel so he could clean his driveway and stay off mine. he moved in a month. I Know a party house with a lot of youngin's Isn't something you want to mess with, just keep calling the police till there sick and tired, and something will get done, or you may have to move. good luck. On another note. It looks like we bought a 2009 Edge today. It's in awsome shape 80k, full load. Back in a Ford again.

Good evening Morris, Grant, Randy, Brett, Gerry, Curtis, Sherm and anyone else who might drift in here..

Hate hearing about your inconsiderate neighbors Randy.

Hope y'all have a good weekend. It made it to a damp +10°C here today..

Stay warm Steve Good to see you're into the metric thing. I think right now, if it was -10C, I'd be wearing short's. lol.

Sherm, let's see some pic's.

Gerry. I got my way. NO DODGE'S in this house. The edge is 4 time's a Journey. It may be a 2009, but it'is premo, has all the bell's and whistle's, and has a trailer towing package. We looked at a 2010 that had 125K on it with dual sun roof's and Nav, but this one still has factory warranty and is close to 3 grand cheaper, and rides a lot better.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna bring my neighbour problem to land lord and hope he does something.

Grant - congrats on the new to you edge!! My girlfriend wanted a Jeep for the longest time but I finally convinced her to want an Explorer, only down side is she refuses to consider a used one and brand new they aren't cheap lol.

Gerry - all the RCMP here drive Ford Super Duty's. They use to have two Chevys and two Fords but the GMs have been replaced with Fords.
