    A Break in the Weather

    Finally, after probably a week of nasty low temperatures, things may be warming up a bit. Yestermorning when I woke up the thermometer read 19 below zero. The forecast has highs in the teens or twenties and even a touch of snow tonight. We are in a very dry period of the winter it seems. No decent snow in quite a while! :-( The trails are packed as hard as ice.

    The sled is running excellent after a little work in the Nicholson garage yesterday. What needed to be fixed you ask? Well the other day my stupid pull handle knot came out and retracted inside the engine. I had to take all of the exhaust off, remove the recoil, and fix a couple loose bolts, etc. Now she's back in tip-top shape. Approximately 4 1/2 hours on the engine. No more crappy oil after this tank. I will switch over to my good full synthetic.

    Pray for snow!

    I'm also proud of you Luke for getting the sled running! You should be very proud of yourself, this is a huge accomplishment! I still want a ride sometime.
