[New sled for my dad]

Over the years, my I have to admit, my dad has been pretty good to me.   To the point, it could be considered spoiling your kid.   I always drove a brand new truck growing up and when we were in business together, our business always paid for my sleds, seadoos, dirt bikes etc.... He never really questioned much.   My dad and I have put 1000s of miles sledding around northern Ontario since the mid 90s and our last trip together was probably 15 years ago.   He has had lots of sleds but the last sled that he has ridden for a full season was back in 2011.    Normally he goes south for the winter but the 'Rona is keeping him in Ontario this winter.   I thought that a nice way of repaying him for everything he has done over the years is to take him sledding this winter.    I picked up this lightly used 2020 Indy 850 for him and we are planning some good rides this winter.    Its permitted, insured and ready to rip.   He always looked after me when I was growing up and I am pretty fortunate to be in the position where I can return the favour now.   I am looking forward to this winter probably more than the last 10 years.   

Right on,  good for you.   I lost my Dad last April..... not easy cherish every moment whit him.    If you guys are in my area this winter look me up  (Dubreuilville)   

[New Drag for Dub..]

Yes sir, going to be fun grooming this winter.  Thank you to Port Perry for the Drag donation about 4 or 5 years ago.  It served us well, it was an 8 footer but with our bigger groomer we needed a 9 foot.

Hey Luc-how much snow up your way?

We got over a foot now, lot's in the forecast on the way and usually, we get lots of lake effect snow that they have not forecasted...... so looks like an early one this year.

   Finally new owners with some pride. This once proud landmark may well have a future again! The new owner Anu has invited the club to base our groomers and fuel tanks there again as well as having given us the full use of the shop for service. 

 

 Our family went there for dinner tonight and it was quite good the restaurant and bar are both freshly painted and very clean. They are understaffed as they will have to attract a whole new team as the old owner had run it right into the ground. Over all I am impressed and optimistic. 

That's great news Bill, last time I was there with the old owners the place was not too inviting, they had pluming problem, water was brown, could not give a bath to my 2 girls.   I had been there with the owner before and it was night and day... glad new ownership now.
