    I didn't get much done today, I packed the snow down on the driveway with the tractor tires, took the hoe off the back of the tractor for the winter, cleared the end of our neighbors driveway out and then checked the fluids in the tractor.

    I've had something for over two weeks which I'm finally getting over so tomorrow afternoon we'll put some more cherry in.

    On Wednesday I think we'll take the sleds off the trailer.

    Not much coming in, I saw on AccuWeather they had us getting some snow on two days for a total of five inches.

    I think that will change.

    That's good mileage, is that the original motor?

    If we have a total of four that might be pushing it.

    I was hoping for 8-10 by the weekend so we could take the sleds for a short ride.

    The nice thing about your Indy trail's is that you only need a little snow for the rails, and so the skis don't rip the grass up. That and they don't weigh much.

    Did you get that regulator/ rectifier issue settled on one of your Indy trail's last year?

    I don't think that was our sleds, we never did get to ride them last year because of the lack of snow.

    We did have them looked at this year buy a dealer, they're ready for riding.

    :rofl: :lol:No.

    2 rebuilds and this one is new. This last one that is new was around 310,000.

    However the motor on his 1979 Blazer went forever before we sold it in 1995 or 1996

    I thought you had a dimming headlight issue on one of them? It's a common issue and easy to fix.

    Just got back from a not so quick run to Indy. Normally takes 3 hours.....today it took 5. Roads were terrible. Saw at least 12 wrecks and slide offs.

    Rest of the day off. Not sure what I'm going to do.

    Clear and really cold here. 5 C/23 F Going to be a very sunny day. We got the kitchen ready for installing the new lights over the sink and the bathroom ceiling is primed and ready to paint a colour. I haven't made up my mind what colour yet so it may wait until after Christmas when my foot is better. I had intended to repaint the bathroom when the ceiling was repaired but right now is not too much of an option.

    Since I was coming back from an oil change on my wife's car, I decided to grab another six bags of pellets for this so called cold stretch.

    We'll also be putting in a couple of loads of cherry today.
