Will have to wait for the pics in the fall. Right? When I ordered the 15 couldn't bring myself to get the McDoo but once you saw them on the snow they weren't too bad. Doo always offers the black option, which is the safe route. It's time to not be safe. Can't wait to get it and take it for a rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, bummer that the house thing is family .... kinda limits your options to shut up and deal with it ... Thanks guys, it has been a real trying week trying to deal with all this, compounded with the sled issues at New Years, It was a great winter once that was dealt with and as Blake said I rode more than I have ever sledded in a season. With the house we have spoken with our lawyer and we need to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that they knew about the water damage prior, We are the 3rd owners of the house so it is entirely possible that it happened when the original owner built the house, I have to believe in my heart that a family member wouldn't have done this to another family member. We have a couple guys coming to the house in the next couple of days to give us a estimate on what the repairs will cost, Also have discovered the interlocking driveway and interlock porch at the rear of the house has settled towards the house so that will also have to get fixed as well. On a side note on top of dealing with all this mess, we were visiting a friends house a couple of weeks ago and his dog also bit my hand so have had to have my hand checked out. What a effin year it's been so far, almost afraid to put the boat in the water. lol I do appreciate the kind comments and messages made by most of you, except for Denis 007 lolololol, I got thick skin and will get him back next winter... Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of snow indeed, 02...but I think you overlooked the 453 mild/rain & freezing rain events, (some even in the north) which either washed/melted a lot of that snow away, and/or re-opened a lot of creeks and watercourses on the trails, and/or re-froze the snow base into concrete. Definitely not a vintage winter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a vintage winter... Definitely not a vintage weather but I did mention the thaws which regrettably sometimes included some rain. However if I'm not mistaken Blake managed to actually get out riding in Muskoka as recently as just over a week ago. He is a die hard. I stand corrected... he was riding but well north of Muskoka.... either way it was a real funky winter. Next winter we will have lots of early deep cold to put frost in the ground first and then record snowfall. I can feel it in my bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Changed my mind....ordering this sleek model....it has a turbo.... Toast in 60 seconds.

My 20 year old Cafe Roma with two heating chambers just packed it in. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/home-and-garden/design/trying-to-find-the-perfect-toaster-know-thyselffirst/article34666432/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you've discovered the secret to good coffee, Slomo. It always takes too long to boil the kettle for tea and make the toast. The microwave and the convention oven has decreased the amount of time we want to wait for things. We need the microwave of toasters. I got one of the Keurig coffee makers for the office. Supposedly the best and fastest model they made. It still wasn't quick enough for the guys in the office. I guess that's one of the things about snowmobiling.... take the time to enjoy the scenery and nature that's all around us. Running a lake that was very long and relatively narrow a few years ago I suddenly realized, not one cottage, road or anything other than rocks, trees, ice and snow. Stop and shut off the engine and absolute silence, not even a wind that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
