Surviving off season!!
Just wondering what everyone will be doing to survive this off season since it began a while ago for most of us. I will be racing in the hornet class at a local dirt track on Sat nights and fixing the car the rest of the week!

school, boating, work on the sled to have it in the best shape for next season! other little jobs around the shop, might build a mini-bike over the summer! have a few frames out back and a couple 3.5 and 5 horse motors kickin around the shop. should be a good little project to keep me busy.

Lots and Lots of work, it's never ending on a farm. Hopefully get everything planted by the end of July, work on the cattle sheds/hog houses, and get stuff ready for fall. And in between all that mudding.
