    I changed the oil in the 4runner tonight. All set for an extended 3 + days of snowmobiling this weekend.

    I've been looking forward to this as I didn't get out on the trails at all last winter.

    Thank you!

    I'll take pictures too. We both get on the 2up, and ride. My wife enjoys the chauffered trip, and we put as many miles as we can on the sled.

    The dogs go to doggy day care, so they'll have a blast while we're sledding.

    Really? If the Patriots didn't have the five championships would you still hate them? Careful, it's awful easy to just say yes.

    Spygate = the Patriots getting caught doing what every other team in the NFL was doing. Does that make it right or OK?...no, does it make them stupid if they didn't spy also? Were they being picked on to make an example of a rampant problem in the league?...who cares...pay the fine...move along...win another championship!

    Deflategate = the NFL getting schooled regarding the Ideal gas law, you know PV=nRT. Could the balls have been legal at some point? I guess we will never know because it seems the NFL wasn't interested. The fact that so many other teams/athletes came out with an opinion/observation regarding a soft ball vs. hard ball and which they prefer and whether one gives an advantage over the other leads one to believe that the issue was also widespread and likely a matter of preference. Weren't the Patriots struggling in that game before the "illegal" balls were discovered, didn't they start kicking the Colts azz once the "legal" balls were used? This one WAS a case of the NFL picking on a team/player...and the Patriots fought back...and Brady gets labelled...pay the fine, do the time...move along...win another championship!

    All of the other unsubstantiated allegations of cheating are just teams/players crying because they were tired of repeatedly getting their asses handed to them by a team who picked up their throw away players on waivers. Sour grapes...nobody likes a sore looser...go win your own championship...my team is better than yours...better luck next year...move along...have a nice day.

    In Patriot Nation the repeated whining about the trumped up cheating allegations does nothing but fuel the fire and make the repeated championships that much sweeter. The allegations are just an opportunity for anyone who is not a fan to have a "justified" reason to hate the Patriots...move along...get a life.

    Don't know how Tomahawk area fared but up here we ended up with over a foot of new stuff Tue. Trouble is, starting Fri, the temps will be in the mid to upper 30's!

    Be safe on you excursion, watch out for the Kamikaze drivers....the ones that haven't figured out that you can drive past bars....

    Woke up to snow on the ground so campinspecter went out and shoveled out the drive and most of all moved the ridge of snow from the snow plow. My new Corolla is lower to the ground than any we have had before. Not built for off road driving. I love having a carport to store the vehicles in. I don't often have to scrape a windshield in the morning.

    Woodwidow ... my wife agrees with the garage thing.. no frost no frozen wipers.. keeps it cooler in summer.. really limits the use of my work shop..:headbang: so I built another bay.. that is also full! I am now completely convinced in the future we will build a 6 to 8 car garage so I can have 1 bay.. til then I :(

    I need to have a carport or garage built. My Explorer won't fit in the under-the-house garage I now have. Unfortunately I can't afford to have a traditional garage built (they seem to go for a minimum of 20k for a small one) so have been looking at metal garages and carports. Then I got to find someone who is experienced at erecting whatever I get, get a pad poured, have someone with a forklift receive the shipment and place the parts in the yard. Oh wait, first I have to get the town to agree to let me build it within the set back (and write them a big fat check for the privilege). So, but the time all that is done, I still have at least 20k sunk into it. I think I need a 3rd job :tears:.

    bogieb ... I do not know your town rules but what we did for MIL as she staying taking care of her 96 yo mother.. was level a spot, 6 yards of gravel about 6 inches deep and put up one of the good garage in a box (like a tent check the wind ratings the good ones have them) you should not need permit cause it's temporary and can be in setback

    Woodwidow what year is the corolla? What kind of mpg do you get?

    I have an 05 with almost 240K on the clock and can still turn out 38mpg around town.

    I like this model since it is pre anti lock brakes.

    I know, I know. ABS has been out longer than I care. I was surprised (relieved?) that it wasn't on the 05.
