look at what I woke up to

Well they said we were gonna get some snow, but I didn't expect this much. we got around 6-8 in. and it's still comin down. It's currently 28F right now. I even took the sled out for a couple of laps around the block.All you yoopers prolly were riding lastnight...lol. I know I haven't been on here alot in the past week or 2. I've been busy as heck with work, and tryin to get stuff ready for winter. I'll try to be on more in the future.

That's NOT fair!

My son said he saw a few flakes on his way home from college... but I think he was probably referring to some of the art students.

So what's with the F.K.A. stuff? What about all the good Mouse jokes on the site? Are they "former" Mouse jokes now?

Sounds good. I know all about race weekend's, as my son races motocross. Season's coming to an end, he love's his new bike, KX 250F. Now he/we can't wait to get the sleds out.

Just put my freshly painted pipe back on today when I got home from work. I just had to let it run for a while to:

1) Set the paint
2) Check for leaks
3) Get a good whiff
