Blake G Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three, I got married to a widow who was as pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed. This made my dad my son-in-law and change my very life. My daughter was my mother, for she was my father's wife. To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy, I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad. And so became by uncle, though it made me very sad. For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother To the widow's grown up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother Father's wife then had a son, who kept them on the run. And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter's son. My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue, Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandma too. If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild. For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw, As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 This is the type of thing that can happen when trails B, D, 4, and 3 stay closed for too long in the Housey's Rapids area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 SNOWCREST VINTAGE SNOWMOBILE EXHIBITION Gravenhurst Winter Carnival - Saturday, February 21 from 10 to 3 at Gull Lake Rotary Park. So far I have received only two official registrations, along with verbal assurances for an additional nine sleds, and "grapevine" rumblings about more participants lurking in the woods. The show is this coming Saturday, and registration is free except for the cost of a Winter Carnival button. We welcome all sleds of model year 1989 and older. Please PM me on this site, or send an email to snowcrestshare@gmail.com to register or to request additional information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Bill, a fellow from Freedom Sledder has also asked about pics, so now I'm starting to think I'm missing something. LOL I will have sled pics for sure, after the Show on Saturday, but I have nothing right now. Unfortunately I'm just the organizer of the event, but I don't own any vintage sleds right now....though I'd love to find a nice Polaris Colt 175 like I use to have when I was a kid.

Blake G Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I guess I should have asked people for photographs when they registered, but I didn't think to do that.....rookie..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake G Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 We had nine vintage sleds today and enjoyed a bit of fun. My favourites were a 1962 Polaris Autoboggan and a 1965 Hus-Ski. Here's a quick video from today. There is also a limited edition director's cut, showing a minor flip-over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
