I called on my oil late today. Fella said that one of the first things addressed on the webinar this morning was OIL! He said that they "released" it and that it is to be shipping first of next week." I told him that he sang me that same sad song 3 weeks ago. Including the word "released". (whatever the [foul] that means?) "Hey, I'm just the messenger...." "Yeah, I know... I won't shoot you .... yet." However, I found that the tank on my sled is almost full, so I could ride a cpl days at least... (bright side?)

I don't even have the git-up in my closet at home to fit in at a Companion Inn New Yrs party! We were there 12/31/96. In usual form, I was dead to the world after hitt'n it hard all day. I was passed out by 8. My chum on the other hand decided that he just had to be part of the party. He came back and said that he was out classed. I never got up to look out. Not even on my radar.

Yeahhhh .... but the week of/after New Years is the easiest time for me to get away from the shop for any extended time. I really look fwd to good conditions that week. Can't go north this year, so watching West closely, but that is looking worse right now than north!

Nope But I am interested in this "deploying" vest mentioned above? Not in getting one, just the mechanics and expectations of it. I understand those for avalanches - but how does that work in an "over (or much worse - "Into") the bars situation?

My list is WAY too long to put all down here, and most of it .... all of it? ... is tens of hours in the truck away. From the border line in Main, to Chama, Flagstaff, some of those great mtns I have seen pics of in central California (before it falls off), Hood, St Helens, all over BC and AB, and on up to AK. And a lot in between! I have a 55 gal drum list! Self employed doesn't leave much time, let alone to go somewhere that really takes 2 weeks or more... First World problems...

Look, if a joker has a warrant out for him already, and then goes out and advertises "Hey buddy - I'm right here!" Then I see no reason for the other side to say "Yeah, well .... stop back next week and we'll discuss it."

Hey, the little rocket thingy is gone! Long live the monkey!

Doo you haft'a be a Mick to be allowed in?

All of which are "sourced" products, and I understand that they are the ones sourcing them ... But - what aboot the main construction? No - I don't have a dog in this race. I don't have a "skidoo" trailer.

That's aboot the exact same bridge as is over the Montreal River just south of Halfway Haven.

Yeah, like the winter of '98. Riding was poor, but hero snow made it possible to pick your way anywhere!

Doo you remember where the third from the last pic was taken? That puts me in mind of Blueberry Hill. The next to last looks like just outside of Searchmont.

Shirley the bulk of those pics aren't anywhere near Dub? Looks like you wondered over by Marathon? IDK who has a ski hill? Manitauwadge?

Dec 1996: The first time I ever experienced 2 lane divided skidoo trails!

I recall that he apparently flew all over North America for work.

Says here that he hasn't even logged on here in the last 2 months! https://ontarioconditions.com/forums/index.php?/profile/21351-02sled/content/ He was one of the folks most concerned aboot the Wuhan, and he said that he got his shot. ??? RIP 02

Friggin' Canucks, just can't help yourselves can you.

I got to thinking aboot this thread yesterdee, and thought that I had better make a point to git to the dealership to git some... And then I git's to thinkin' that _ you know what - I went to buy a jug back before our trip @ Easter this last year, and they didn't have any then. I had enough for the little bit that we were able to ride, so no worries. But to think that is the case now too? Hmmmm... So I called in and they said that their shelves were bare currently, but that Doo [and he used the term) "Released" (something - 3 weeks ago? I didn't pick up everything that he was puting down) and that he expected oil to show up in the next cpl weeks. I asked if I could put my name on a list? It sounded like I was the second guy to ask that. I passed the info on to my Doo chum as well. Thanks for the heads up!

I think that may be even more adolescent than some of us think that we are.

Tongue in cheek. Roll with it! While I've got your attention, why is there a Rocket Mortgage advertisement on my avitar?

Yeah, well be advised, we're not all good members here....

'18 Lynx?

I sure hope they get a good turn-out! Still, not sure how many will venture accrost the river with the current Wuhan requirements. I fully expect there to be HUGE lake effect this year doo to the warm lakes, but that could mean great riding below too, so ...

WOW! Maybe the newer TRA's are better than the old ones? I have not been into my new one yet, but the old ones will be a rattlin' by 10K at least! Does your "motor" rattle when at idle?

If you get a call a second time from the same number in a short time - answer the dumb thing! However, even tho this person was fine, he (she, it?) knew that he was overdue, and if he had cell service, could'a / should'a called the facility where he was staying to tell them that he was fine, just turned around a bit, and to NOT send S&R out to look for him! Personally - I find it amazing that he had service in the first place. IDK that mtn in particular, but I don't have service where I ride in Colorado. I carry an InReach, and at only $12/month, I highly recommend it to anyone spending much time in the bush at all.
