Snow storm

[lenny]

Those dogs are not right.

kevin just looked at your back yard track video,
Must be fun, Just need some snowmobiles now.

I trash picked one and had it running good,
Also picked up another one with electric start for 50.00 with a open tilt trailer.
And got to run them a couple of times when we had good snow storm years back.
Was a lot of fun , Just need more snow hear to run.

My next door neighbor has one of these http://snorunner.com/ finally got enough snow to play with it, what a hoot! Should be a lot faster though. Just not made for high speed.
Years ago I used to strap down the rear suspension on my MX bikes, throw on a set of ice racing tires and hit the frozen lakes. Don't heal quick enough for that anymore!
Lenny, I take it you're not familiar with Siberian Huskies! They just aren't like any other breed of dog, that's about all I can say about them. Pumpkin is one of the ingredients in their food, tomato pomace, blueberries....
Used to have one that loved lettuce, but it had to be crispy, if you gave him a wilted piece he'd spit it out.
Had a wolf/husky cross years ago, used to fish! Was camping on the west coast with a very cute girl, crazy dog came blasting into the tent early in the morning with a 3' live eel in it mouth, girl freaked out screaming SNAKE! Dog dropped the eel and went shooting back out the door!

Good time back then with the ell.

Ok.
Like I said Siberian Huskies, Not right.
I like them a lot, Very cool dog,
A friend of mine had timber wolf/husky real cool and smart to.

Yep I hear that Don't heal quick any more,
Just need to get That through to my brain.
I never got to ride one of them snow bikes,
A buddy has two of them that fell of a truck hanging on his wall in the garage.

Did you watch the one in my signature, or the one I posted last week with the snow on the track? I have done a bit of research to find a hobby grade RC snowmobile, but not much out there........

[lenny]

Both of them.
I did not know that you were into buggies,
When I posted for the hk buggy and you replied.
I think the only one I saw rc was a radio shack snowmobile.

There was a guy 50 miles or so from me that made a 1/4 scale scratch build one and a motorcycle too. Lost contact with him some time ago.

Would be a fun toy.
Used to run one of these the year I lived on Sunshine in Banff

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:PistenBully_100.jpg

Lived at the top of the mountain, had to take the gondola to get home, what a blast that was.
Once I ran the sno cat that was used in the movie the Shining, was during the March break party, they used to give people rides in that machine during special events, it was restored and painted just like it was in the movie.
That winter was pure debauchery, more than a few nights I should NOT have been in a piece of heavy equipment, lol you could have found me by the cloud of smoke billowing out of the cab!
Those cheezy B rated party ski movies do not do the reality of life out there justice!
The tale of the Australian who tried to punch out an elk is still one of my stand by stage stories, never punch a 1000 pound animal in the face if it uses it's head for a battering ram! Was right in front of The Rose & Crown on Banff Ave (back in the day). Next to the gas station.
Different night, different Australian, almost had my head taken off by a boomerang! Bundaberg Rum is dangerous stuff!
Also learned that "knock me up later" means something completely different down under! Scared the hell out of me the first time a girl said that to me!
Not picking on the Aussies,they seem to love visiting Canada and know how to have a good time! Back then a lot landed in Vancouver and made their way east across the country then to Europe.
Quite a few crazy Japanese stories as well, lets just say the spirit of the kamakaze(sp?) seems to come to the surface when they drink Canadian style.

Sounds like some very good times,
Kinda like Cheech and Chong take a trip to Vancouver Canada and go skiing with all the snow bunnies,
And thanks for the new desk top picture, Very nice toy and must have been a blast to run.

The first time I went to Daytona bike week I meet 3 cute very nice 22yr old girls roughing It at my camp site,
And they were from Vancouver and camping next to my site.
And their goal was to go back home nice and red.
I took the bike to the beach and main street for a few hours and than came back to camp,
They were eating and drinking wine,
Needless to say I stayed at the camp site the rest of the trip with them hanging out.
Also I got invited to visit them in Vancouver,
But the day they left I took the bike out for a run to the beach and lost the paper with their emails on it.
It sucked to be me that day I was not happy looking all over for it.
The way they put Vancouver Canada to me, It sounded like a great place to live.

Theres one thing more dangrous than bundy rum down under guys.... that would be one of our females HAMMERED on the stuff!!!! (even more deadly holding a boomerang as well!!) Never punched out a moose before... I did however slap an emu once..... :-)

[drwayne]

Made in Queensland from sugar cane, Bundy rum is dangerous stuff that.

Character end of this clip is on a bottle the stuff....

Funny how things work out, went out there to ski for a year, stayed for 5 and came home with my trade papers as a stone mason, lucked into the grooming job, I had been running 'dozers, backhoes and excavators since I was a kid, just the right place at the right time.
AHHH the Australian girls, I'll never forget Simone the blonde ski instructor from Thredbo.......
The nutball with the boomerang was Bret (Smokey) Dawson, from the Gold Coast. Celebrating Australia Day which is a couple days after my birthday.
Guys feet were so big he had to remove the liners from the biggest pair of ski boots he could find and just wear a couple pairs of socks! Looked like some bizarre huge bird flying down the mountain wearing the long waxed canvas outback coat and the red wind/cold burned shaved head!
One of my friends out there turned a ski pole into a water bong, handy for those long chair lift rides. He had a really cool done up Mini, side draft carbs, headers, some rally suspension kit and wide rubber. Was a blast screaming down the Sea to Sky highway in that thing.
At that time I was driving a VW bus with a 914 engine/transaxle in it, give it enough time on flat ground and it would do 100mph! You'd be a statistic if a cross wind caught you, steering was an approximate kind of thing! Was funny when going up hill, you'd pull into the passing lane and start going by lines of traffic, peoples mouths would drop as a vw bus goes screaming by uphill. Then you'd see the quad chrome tips under the back bumper and hear it.
Sold the engine and scrapped the bus.
The good old days when what came out of the tailpipe didn't matter!
