Just got in from running the sled since about 6:30 this morning!!!! Woooot!!!! It felt good to get the ole adrenaline going again!!!!!
During the storm last night, somebody lost it down into my yard with a car or pickup.. I can't tell from the tracks, but they ran over one of my tomato cages in the garden!!! Funny part about it is the garden is 1/2 of an acre from the road & it a pretty good hill down off the road to get to it, & he just missed my 2 full grown Maple trees.... So someone probably had to wipe there ass over that one....

Ahh, RC's finally running the old snowmobile. 'Bout time. Happy as a pig in slop, I bet. I wouldn't put a hammer it too much, though. That'll only damage it.

I'd go for a Detonics .451 Magnum, has a 6 inch barrel, Millett Adjustable Sights, and Grip Safety, 8 shot magazine, and weighs 42 ounces. Extremely accurate weapon. Or you can order a longslide version.
I don't only break your heart, I also break your pelvis

Heh, actually, pretty fair, I reckon. When my biggest gripe is about the Orange Bowl and ain't nothing going to change that, anyway, and we'll never know what would have happened, I guess I don't really have anything to complain about.

I was driving a pickup on glare ice when the paperman stopped his SUV in front of me. There was oncomming trafic. I couldn't stop, so I guned it and plowed through a guy's front yard, around the SUV, and back on the road. In 1.5 feet of snow.
The owner of that home started parking his pickup in the middle of the path I'd made for some strange reason...
Oh, and the engine of the vehicle I was using overheated because the fan was blocked with snow.

I've done some pretty crazy sh-t like that myself before.. I used to have a 73 cutlas I bought new with a 4 speed in it.. I had Air shocks on it in the back for racing... Well, steel belted radials had just came out... I got a set of studded, steel belted snow tires for it.. We put a few concrete blocks in the trunk & adjusted the air in the shocks to level the car back out...
We got a good dump of snow & decided to take the cutlas drifting, Crazy Larry & I... We headed out in the country & started going down the roads.. It was pretty cool at first.. The snow I was going over was deep enough that it was lifting the front end up on the drifts... Something like a boat skimming over the waves... We we're having a blast going through snow that cars just shouldn't be able to get through.... We went by a couple of 4 x 4's that were stuck & laughed at them...
Well, all of a sudden the Alt. light comes on on the dash... We go Huh, nothings wrong with the car, it's brand new... Got out & popped the hood to see what was wrong & we couldn't see the engine!!!! We'd packed that engine compartment so full of snow that you couldn't even see the air cleaner... We though WTF???? We tried to punch down on the snow to get the snow to fall out of the engine compartment & it was solid... We couldn't get the snow to budge....
Being 20 miles from anything, out in the boonies, we decided we had to drive the dam thing out of there, anywhere, before we got stranded... (Remember this was a lot of years before cell phones.) So we started heading back to town... I went to turn to get on another road & the car wouldn't turn... Wheel wells were packed & froze in with snow now & she'd only go straight ahead... That lead to a lot of chipping to get the wheels to turn enough to head to town...
We finally made it back into town & headed to a car wash... I don't know how much money we threw into that car wash melting the snow out of the cutlas so she would freeze into an ice block when I shut it down for the night!!!
Crazy Larry & I still talk about that car & the drifting we did that night with it.....

I had a '70 cutlass with a bumper hitch that was braced to the trunk floor. I was pulling a couple cars out of the woods, a '66 and a '67 Riviera. Flat tires on both cars of course.
The first one came out fine, but while yanking the second out I yanked the hitch off, allong with a sizeable chunk of floor, and pulled the bumper out in the center around 6 inches.
Of course you have to remember, the '70 cutlass was pre-smog for leaded fuel, it made a lot more power than the '73! hehe, I just had to say it.

I had a race sled with bad rings on one cylinder, my friend tried to take it home, but at 30MPH the second cylinder started firing and the sudden burst of power threw him off the back.

LOL great great....well here goes mine...
Mike Martin and me were in his "unsafe at any speed" Corvair. We were going fishing...and had stopped at the Kentucky Fried place and got a bucket of chiken. We're tooling down a back road here in Marion co. going to Kings Mill to do some Crappie fishing. This fox squirrel runs right out in front of us and on instinct, Mike slams on the brakes...Nader was right! we rolled it. Came right back over on it's wheels. Man there was chicken and minnows everywhere down my shirt minnows flopping everywhere . Couldn't see out of the windows they were all smeared with grease Bumped my head on the rooflier. It happened so fast we ended up sitting right where we started. Wiped off the windshield and went home.

That reminds me of another story!!!!
We had a guy we called Commander Mc Brag in the service... This guys BS was beyond belief.. He said his Dad was one of two that could drive the shuttle to it's launch platform.. No body believe that....
We also had a Baby Huey dude named Jean Dolstrum... His sole calling in life was to drive the mess truck, to be closer to the food... Needless to say, he didn't have a lot of friends either...
So Commander & Jean became a team both on duty & off duty...
One day we fell out for work call formation & saw Commanders car had a lean to the whole top & was tore up pretty good... We're standing at attention, so we couldn't find out exactly what had happened yet..... All of a sudden the local cops pull up to the formation & surround Commander's car.. Next thing you know, they get Commander, put him in the cop car & leave... Well now, we're all going WTF??????
When we got dismissed, we swarmed Jean, because we knew, that he knew what had happened.... Jean was a little shook up & reluctant to talk at first... We had to pry it out of him....
It seems that he & Commander were out cursing the town that night... Commander asked Jean, "have you ever been in a car that rolled???? Jean said no!!!! Commander floored it & got it up to a high rate of speed, cut the wheel sharp & rolled the old 53 Olds on the spot.. It rolled over one complete time & landed on it wheels. Commander fired it back up & drove to post, where the local yokels got him!!!!!
To this day, we still don't know if Commander Mc Brag's stories were BS, or real, after that!!!!!!!!

OK it's official start here or with a new thread.....Dumb sh1t we did in a car...
We were out in a 52 ford 4 door and we were terrorizing the neighboring football rivals,,,,rural small towns... cherry bombing mail boxes...Real cherry bombs not the ones they have today...driving around throwing them out the windows...doug Click is in the middle of the back seat and lights a silver salute another nasty firecracker...unbeknownst to him Jerry Crum had rolled the window back up cos it kept blowing out his attempt to light a cherry bomb....it (the m80/silver salute)bounces off the window and goes right back in Doug's lap he's screamin STOP STOP....Dale Carsner slams on the brakes and we bail...WHAMMMMMMmm a two foot hole in his dad's backseat upholstery. I don't thik Doug laughed as hard as the rest of us...because he said he had visions for weeks of his baggage spread all over the inside of Dale's Dad's car...
Gort, Klaatu nicto barada...Patricia Neal

Here's a <A HREF="http://www.sno-trails.net/GM500Miler.htm" target="_new">link </A> to the 500 mile endurance race for you to check out... Read the rules & such!!!!
The most I've ever rode is 200 miles in a day. That's hammering hard all during daylight, say from 7 AM to about 5:30 PM. That's what? 10 1/2 hours... To do 500 miles in 14 hours is insane!!!!! I couldn't do it in 14 hours, no way.... The question is could I do it in less than 24 hours??? ...... [shrug] Won't be trying this year anyway....

No wuss to it....
It's a matter of logistics & luck, really.
1. It would take about $100 in gas $25 in oil. ($2 gas up there & no place to carry the oil)
2. Hyfax holding up on the sled for 500 miles. That all depends on conditions.
3. Traffic on the weekend up there is the heaviest of the week.... Could be nothing but moguls & your not going to go 500 miles on that.
4. I'll let you do the search.. From Paradise to Munising isn't 250. So you'd have to run further than that to finish. That's covering 2 /3 rd's of the UP....
5. Riding after dark on some of those trails is no fun either... You be doing some serious night time running to finish...
I'd like to try it though!!!
