Randy this one's for you ....
That is pretty funny, if only it worked lol

Moris - I'd have to agree with the fact that you might have ran something sharp over. Good luck with your tires though

I too think I am pretty blessed, still paying most of my toys off but the fact that I can afford the toys I want makes me pretty blessed! Speaking of toys, I just got back from a snowmobile ride and wow is it cold out. Made me realize I need better mitts, and a better helmet (currently using the snocross style). Hope everyone else is staying warm this Sunday afternoon!

Hey Randy what about the sled handlebar muffs, you must have heated grips eh???

We're all blessed to be living in Canada Randy, although some ppl don't deserve it if they don't know how to live in a community..... with neighbors

Yes I have heated grips, wouldn't buy a sled without them (or reverse ). I got some handlebar muffs or what ever they're called but I just haven't got around to installing them yet. Also my mother in-law is making me some real fur mitts! I think Canada is a pretty amazing country to live in, and even with bad neighbours, it could always be worse

Sherm, kudo's on the chain saw, but think a shovel, or snowblower would have moved more snow. lol

Finally got the tarp off the sled and got it greased, serviced and a tank a fresh fuel. Just waiting for the wife to get home from work so I can take it for a spin.

Morris, with my 06 F150 I was always putting air in the tires, didn't matter what I did, could not stop them from leaking for long.

Now it`s so bad that with in an hour of filling my tires to 35 psi my low tire display comes on.
It was about plus 2 so I was tempted to get my quad out but instead I spent most of the afternoon moving snow with my new Bobcat blade.
What do you guys think of JD sleds....

Well, Gigger and Grant, the sun went down. Ended up jamming out on myself. I'll head out tomorrow and due some dialing in of the skid/front shocks. Almost have it set up but too much weight on the ski's now with the floats on there. Ride height is alot lower than I thought.
Just finishing up some X-Mas decorations with the fam then the wife talked me into watching some more Breaking Bad. Almost done the series.....I deny it if it ever comes up but what an awesome series

Colin, keep the rubberside down out there. Have fun!!

Those sled are pretty awesome, I snapped this pic while I was changing my chain case oil and my buddy was removing the decals off his sled

To the right is my buddies 2014 Summit X 146 and to the left is my 2012 Renegade Backcountry 137! Both are E-tec 800s!
