He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich.
In all seriousness, though, I really feel for the victims of this crime. I hope they catch the people.

I guess no more heart attack grilled cheese sandwiches, with almost half inch of cheese. Hope the new people can cook as well as Sean can.

My F150 FX4 has a 7350# GVWR. They have had a higher rated optional 7700# even back in the 2000's. Hardly rare, higher capacity pickups. I don't know where they fished out their numbers, but they can screw themselves if they think I'm putting stickers on my stuff to haul a couple of sleds.
That is pounds, not Kg. 7350# = Approx 33.41 Kg. I would think you would need to go to possibly 350 or 450 to get that high. My F250 has an optional 9900# GVWR which is 4500 Kg.

We were issued PLB's for our groomer operators and they look awkward to use. You have to open it, unfurl the antenna and press the button and hope for the best. No indication of success or failure. Once used, it has to be sent back to be repackaged. We are using the SPOT units as well
-
I would not trust location sharing on my phone. There are many areas where I do not have cell signal, and when the SHTF, you just know it will be in one of those areas. I switched from the SPOT to the Garmin inReach last year. I found the tracking as good as the SPOT, if not better. The feature that allows me to send a custom message works awesome. The unit is more expensive to purchase, but the subscription can be turned off in the off season so the subscription fee ends up in the same ballpark.
Very happy with the change.

If you guys read the second article that Blake posted you would see that an ofsc representative was involved in the process when identifying where to spend money. You dont like the fact that its not going to their pocket, but has the ofsc applied for federal funding?
They leave that to the volunteers at the clubs and districts.

Thanks for having us, Nunz and Karen. It was a great time seeing everyone and chatting about our favourite activity. I am really pumped about the upcoming season.

$640 annual permit 'sold on the trail' is an eye opener.
That is something, I wish we had here. But, of course, that would require enforcement.

Are you sure of that, if so it is one hell of a poor way to run a business. Revenue needs to offset anticipated expenses which is difficult to do as grooming hours can be so variable.
If if your Permit Sales decline that doesn’t equate to leaving a Permit prices as they were, it should be based upon a reasonable conservative budget.
In general, yes, I am sure. In the following, the years referenced are from the motion presented at last year's AGM. The motion last year was for the permit pricing for 2020. Every year, the plan presents a 'matrix' of four scenarios. A and B options are based upon no government decision regarding registration revenue and C and D is where there is a decision where the OFSC gets $30 or more from registrations. Options A and C are where full season permit sales for the upcoming (2018 - 2019) season are less than 5% more than the previous (2017 - 2018) season, and B and D are where full season permit sales for the upcoming (2018 - 2019) season are more than 5% over the previous (2017 - 2018) season. There are then prices for the year following the upcoming (2019 -2020) season presented for each of those scenarios.
So, based upon 2018 - 2019 sales, the prices for 2019 - 2020 can be predetermined and the MTO approval process can start before the 2018 - season has even started.
With the MTO process taking months to complete, the time from the AGM to the start of the permit sales is too short to do much better than this.
-
The pricing is now voted on according to an algorithm based upon the previous year's sales. AFAIK, the actual seasonal sales have gone down last year, with a spike in daily sales. Unless the sales have increased over 5% (I think), the prices will be the same. I am not 100% sure about the sales figures, but I am pretty sure that I am correct.

Get well soon, Luc! Thanks skidooboy for the heads up

Just to throw some more confusion into this:
Great timing. Truck was going in next Tuesday for inspection. Now just for regular maintenance. Also, new trailer will not need sticker. WooHoo!

They work fine, keep a few as spares and to give away to others who are never prepared. The cheap ones do crack easily in the cold.
But so do a lot of the helmet ones.
Who's attending OFSC AGM Sept 20 and 21?
