First snowmobile ride for 2012



firstride2012, originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.

Otsego County – After 2 months of waiting we finally got plenty of powdery snow to ride the Ski-doo on. The snow in the fields was not the best until you made a few passes and then it was great . the snowmobile trail had been groomed and it was in perfect condition. I went to put a fresh charge on the snowmobile battery and decided to try starting it and it fired right up so that was pretty cool. I still forget how fast these things go because when you punch the throttle and hold it full throttle you better be in a good sized open field and you better hang on !!! But then again when you get my age just driving my John Deere in high range at full throttle scares me , LOL But it seemed good to go for a nice ride and glad the other snowmobilers can have fun too. Sad to say three snowmobilers have already lost their lives.
DIET 2012 – Well, along with several other million Americans Deb and I are on day two of writing down our calories and walking on the treadmill. Hopefully we can keep going . At our age were lucky to even remember were dieting , LOL .
Mack Truck – I sanded more parts today and could get all the parts sanded by tomorrow night then Friday I will spray primer on the sanded parts. I could also paint the frame black on Friday .
Nicole and Bill – We talked to Nicole and Terak on facetime today and it was sad knowing they are now so far away . We sure did have fun !
Have a great Wed.
