He ran down onto the lake and started putting the snow to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching you bouncing about a foot off the seat and not letting up till your Dad finally stopped you, I also remember watching your Dad shake his head when took off on his sled and stayed pace with the group rather than with him lmao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Just to place a helpfull post in this thread - after eyeballing all your pics: Since I see that you have had the moniker "Killswitch" for over a decade now, I can only guess as to the reason for the name. Helpfull hint: A rubber band under the kill switch solves unwanted killings. You can still kill it if you hold the button down, but if you happened to just bump it - it will just spit for a second and then continue. Unfortunately - a rubber band only seems to last one season these days. The quality of rubber bands has seemed to deteriorate over the years. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the name because I use to fall asleep riding with my dad and my head would hit the killswitch.

There was one night when we were riding in the UP in the mid 90's and it was really late, and I'm sure that we were running on little sleep, and we just couldn't make it back to town. Started nodding off while riding through the trees wasn't a good plan, so we actually stopped for a bit to get a wink or two. (we were close to town) .

At first when it happened, I did not know what happened, figured sled was dead. My last sled kill switch was a toggle type (CAT) vs. push button, so it never happened.

Canuck Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Great pics, Nutter and Killswitch. A trip down memory lane. I'll never forget Doonut's love of 'off trail' riding. "Why stay on a groomed trail when that swamp leads to a path and a backwoods lake. Look, a hill, followed by another hill, a valley and three more snow covered hills (Muskoka). Darn, your stuck. Here's a shovel.... ". Thanks for posting, Nutter. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Sarah, I have been able to recover your Dad's posts in text format. I found an old database backup. I'll finish cleaning it up and then I'll find a way to get it to you. Marty 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
