  1. Ottawa is extremely against motorized vehicles in down town core. I was once almost run over by a commuting cyclist. There cycling network Is massive though. Hopefully they will allow atv's and sleds access.
  2. That is true, hopefully people respect it.
  3. Very little from locals apparently. All tourist traffic. That is one reason they picked this trail, locals won't miss it.
  4. I think it was a fly by knight decision. Club is in a tough spot. Hopefully it can be opened next season.
  5. Wasn't the white one given to the mayor to ride to and from office in.
  6. I always enjoyed talking to Sean! Great leader for sure! Thought you stopped going to meetings, is your daughter still attending as well?
  7. Get rid of free weekend or charge 100 bucks for the 3 days. I bet we could afford to keep some of the older groomers from the proceeds.
  8. You think they would have a plain to keep a good old groomer from another club to keep key tourist trails open.
  9. Are you closed for good now too? I remember you stating you were going to put in apartments? How did that work out for you?
  10. Only should use composted chicken manure in a veggie garden. Needs at least three hit cycles to 150 F for 10 to 15 days per cycle. Then after the heat cycles are complete needs to compost down in a static pile for 3 months or so. Shavings everything takes longer, so I have just been selling it for now. I have a small 140 gallon insulated compost drum, I just bought in November. I have been putting daily mortalities in it. Heats to 150 F in a few days and stays there until I stopped adding birds and shavings. Three weeks after adding you can't even tell there were birds put in it, except for the bones. The end product currently is black and there are still lots of small flakes of shavings to break down. it is on it's cool down cycle now, 90 F or so and is ready to go into a static pile. I know there is a high demand for good quality, weed free safe compost. I am doing some experiments and testing before I expand this concept. I am just using it in flower beds and my moms garden for now. See how it goes.
  11. I just switched from straw to shavings. Main reason was birds perform better on shavings, when you run the barns full. Shavings are dryer and turn in the barn, so keeps bacteria counts down. The increase in bird performance over straw is enough to capture the whole costs of the shavings, plus darkling beetles can't thrive in it, so no need for insectide (another costs savings of about 300 for cycle). Straw is better for the land and doesn't consume as much nitrogen to break down.
  12. They are pure pine shavings! I believe cedar is poisonous to chickens too.
  13. Not when you use shavings. It takes so much nitrogen to break them down. Trick is to compost first, but can take a year.
  14. Changing your drive bearings soon? Just saying! I guess that is abit easier then changing the engine in a doo. Maybe I will buy a yamagata again, nahhhh!
  15. Come by and pick it up. I will leave the garage door open, I want a new one anyway.
  16. Thank-you for the update! Does this mean maybe no C trail thru the area as well because of lack of volunteers? I know you will continue to supply gas at the main road.
  17. Next thing is the yammie banner will be towing the skidoo banner. What else is new! Great job guys. Will have to make it out for a spin that why this season.
