We got 7-8 by me.
Took pics in the AM.
Picked up from fresh gas & went out in the afternoon.

Stuck in Naperville, Ill. for the next few days now.
Pretty green down here.
& not in a good JD green either.

Back home & hopefully more snow this weekend.
'Bout time!

I saw the groomer out in two different counties today but with a temp of 41 for a high here today I'm bumming a little. Snow in the forcast for the weekend too so there;s hope. I got old reliable out today and went for a spin. Last spring I drained the tank, fogged the motor, and drained the carbs. 5 fresh gallons of premium, pushed the primer until I felt gas, hit the choke, one pull, and the old classic 99 Polaris XC 600 fired right up. Over 20,000 miles and still going strong.

Snow??? Huh????? what's THAT?.......Ever seen daffodils come up 1/2 way through December......?

I must be missing something - I can't find the 48" mower deck accessory part number in my '78 brochure for my CC so i can order it from the local dealer....... Maybe there is one available for Sprintfire!

Got a quick 3 inches out of today's "light" snow.
Bigger deal still coming. We had rain last weekend, and warm weather since, so there is mud underneath. Not exactly good conditions...like I have time to ride anyway! :bonk:

After the big snow, they are predicting much colder weather, more like say...winter. :brrr:

Ed, you might as well move them to the back, pull the truck to the front and start working on that. You will have a better chance of driving your old truck than you will riding your snowmobiles. :D Once I finish my next two sleds I have left, then I would like to find an old truck like the one you have, or maybe a little older to work on.

You may be right Terre, thats what my daughter keeps tellin me to, she has been wanting to start on it all summer. :eh: I told her maybe in the spring we could start on it. :beers; If she didn't want that truck so bad i may have made ya a deal on it, but if I sell it now she will string me up by my toes. :whistle:
