Maybe it's the perfect excuse to put a winch on the front of your rig.

yeah i wish but theres 2 problems with that, my atv is dead now and I would have nothing to hook on to when i got stuck in snow since I wheel in a open field most of the time.

oh, ok. it stands for Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil
it is the same stuff used in Oklahoma city to take out the federal building, and the first bombing of the world trade center back in 94

it ain't as bad as burying a snowmobile in 4 ft of fluffy snow though.

I've got a honda 300ex sport quad and it's plenty quick for me. I don't mind getting muddy when I go riding. That's half the fun of it! The other nice thing is that if I get stuck I can just get on the back and my buddy gets on the front and we can lift it straight up.

Bossman at the orchard has a Kawi Brute Force 650 and that is one hell of a beast. Kinda funny to see a 40 year old father of 4 come tearing azz out of the orchard on a utility quad.

Yea but I've come to expect that sort of behavior out of you. And I bet you don't have an orchard to come flying out of.

Eric (bossman who apparently I look like?) is a real laid back guy. Never uptight if he's in a rush so it's funny to see him going full bore towards the warehouse just because he can.

good morning all!!

back to the chilly weather, and now... the moisture. 50 in CO was great because it was dry... here... it bites in to you! All these things I forgot about while not living here, and helping to push me even harder out of this state and back west!

Hey Mike - sorry to hear about the cold. Hope your trans isn't puking on you either.
