scottyr Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited November 29, 2020 by scottyr 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T bird Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Very nice gesture. I wish my dad was around so I could do the same for him. Hopefully I’m around long enough my children will do the same! Nice sled btw! enjoy the season! I’m eagerly waiting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if he and his dad and employees used toys as a daily stress reliever, then that would qualify as a business expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
