Well thankfully some real justice is shown in court, this was one inept prosecution, it never should have gone to trial. Gotta love how Biden labeled him a white supremacist when it all started! No person of color was involved, trying to score political points, never mind destroying this kids life in the process. I hope he sues the pants off of CNN, MSNBC and all the other piece of shit networks that have done nothing but call this kid guilty from day one. You would think the corrupt media would learn a little bit after the Nick Sandman incident but they are too damn dumb.

Well  we've  rolled the dice,  I know it's slightly different for  us ( same rules apply) but we've booked  flights,  sleds,  and hotel , if it's all ok will be at the delta saguenay 7th  of February to 24th.....  not only double jabbed but we'll have had our booster by then....   can't wait, hopefully it'll work out....

When is enough going to be enough? It’s gonna take a revolution at this point. 
Oh well, at least no mean tweets from that bad orange man. He was such a bully. 
 

For all those nut jobs that are offended by our great flag, this pic is for you !

Of course.

Sauenay Delta of course !   

Impressive the improvements that continue at Auberge Drakkar.
Reggie and Pascal working hard. It really is freaking beautiful.
 

Our new ami and fellow Quebecrider Dave from Rivere du Loup needs our thoughts and prayers. Sunday afternoon him and his wife and their dog returned home to find their home engulfed in flames. The fire department did their best but it’s a total loss. His 2 cats perished in the fire. His wife upon seeing the house on fire suffered a medical emergency herself. (I don’t want to give all the details) she was transferred to a hospital in Montreal. She is fighting for her life. 
I am devastated by the news. 
I just met him but connected instantly and in a two hour truck ride together we surely formed a bond. 

 

Day#3  -18C



We had a good run ahead (which turned out to be 250miles) to get home but had a nice trail path to do it. Starting from Mekoos, we would took back the #53 north to # 33 east to fuelup at Repos and continue to St-Zenon via #345 / dam and #23 for the last part.
Here is a first video between the Meekos and the Pourvoirie du Lac Repos. It is obviously mostly wooded area but a lot of beautiful large wide strech with good visibility, very pleasant to ride. 


We took a mini hot take-out to warm up a bit at Repos but eating outside at -15C is not ideal for warming up .. no big deal we are made strong!
This guy was the only one at the Repos bar...



from there we took the #345 and went down south. With the cold the trails were all nice
here is a sample of this between the Repos and the Cabanon
South of St-Gabriel de Brandon, the trail parts in the woods were brownish. I don't think we will go far in march with those sections


 
We finally arrived home around 5:15 pm which completed our 3 day ride with 606miles for the short trip. The grand touring had passed its first test!

The man has a passion for the sport like few others. For years he put +10,000 miles on per season!  I hope I can still be enjoying snowmobiling when i am his age. 

While settling down for lunch at Als Diner in Mars Hill Maine thursday I saw a gentleman heading for the door in a monogrammed Saguenney Bill jacket.It was Bill! Hes rented a house for the winter in the County (Sinclaire). He looked good, said hes enjoying riding there but misses Quebec. He told me hes already booked the house for next winter cause hes not convinced Canada will open. (yikes, I hope hes wrong) But he added he'll cancel and return to the Delta if things open up.
I didnt mention that we still  missed him on Quebec Rider. Figure that ship sailed long ago, nor did I ask him if he still carried a can of Fix a Flat on board his sled.
 
 

Yeah, I get that locks don't stop everyone, but I always feel safer if there is an easier target than mine.  So I keep trailer locked when sleds are inside and keys are in my room.  Not everyone does that though.  Always surprise at how many people just roll up to the hotel and shut sled off and walk into their room.  I use these locks on the trailer and lock each side of both ramp doors.  Not saying they can't be broken or picked, but again, I truly believe if your stuff is harder to get than they others in the lot, you are safer.
 

Fantastic videos Alain! Thank you so much for posting!

Saturday 
Well surely not a normal season and this overnight trip fits right in. Normally you could not pay me to be anywhere near Quebec City on a Saturday afternoon but this is not a normal time we are in. Wanted to go somewhere close enough to get out early on Sunday and buzz home quickly. So decided on Super 8 near Quebec Airport. 
 
Felt really strange to be just putting on my saddlebags for the first time being 20 of February. Got out fairly early for us at around 8:10am. Knew if I went directly to hotel we would be there before noon so that was denied. We decided to make a day of it knowing fair well that by this afternoon we would probably regret that. Off we go.
 
TQ3 from home up through Shawinigan. Freshly groomed up for the weekend and we take full advantage up to Lac a Tortue and then through Herouxville to TQ23 to St Tite. Rough on the gas line heading toward St Tite, not groomed last night. Took gas in St Tite on the 351 nice trail here and we continue on to St Severin. Left on Local orange trail to St Stanislas all groomed. Join back with TQ3 in St Stanislas than to Local Orange trail through St Luc de Vincent and back to rejoin 351 along Autoroute 40. 351 not groomed last night but acceptable. Through Batiscan and on to St Anne de la Perade. Quick tour through the ice fishing village, much smaller than normal years due to the Covid restrictions. We roll into the Shell Station in town to take a break, (bathroom stop for monamour) it’s noon now and we decided to continue on before eating somewhere a bit closer to our destination. Off we go and as temperatures increase the trail quality is decreasing. Temps combined with heavy weekend traffic are using it up fast. We knew the afternoon would be not so good but we were in no real hurry and just beat along. 351 not that bad really but as we arrive in St Marc des Carriers and join with TQ3/TQ23 is getting obvious all the goody is gone for today. We slog on TQ3 all the way to St Basile where trail passes right through the relais in town. (TQ3 is detoured) says Rivere Portneuf crossing not secure. Relais has fire going outside with some tables. You can go in order and use bathrooms but 30 minutes max inside. Must eat and drink outside. Today was perfect for that not too cold at all. Been grey with on and off flurries. One poutine some Ailes and a Cheeseburger later. We head off again. Now the farther we go its looking like a warzone. Nothing I have not seen before for sure but let’s just say the Mrs got a real education on what it’s like. She was prepared and did not complain one bit (I did all the complaining for both of us). We are getting close now and I know where the turn off is for the local to Hotel. But I just knew something was not adding up. Passed an intersection a few KM back and went left now my spidey senses are tingling telling me, I screwed up. I see TQ3 going where I want to go on the GPS but I am on an Orange that is actually not in bad shape. Way too nice to be the right trail. 
Back we go and sure enough the TQ3 is there on my left. Big section of shared trail here and with all the ruts from the VTT and SXS I just did not even notice it looked like only a VTT trail but it’s both. Literally just around the bend and down local next to Airport to Super 8. Great stop, With garage heated for sleds $10 for up to four sleds. They got 6 garage doors (its one big garage but they use 2 bays for storage and maintenance supplies) At front desk I check in and they gave me remote control for garage door 3. Around to back push button back sleds in. (Tight fit for four but would be doable) unload and right through inside door and our room is right there. Nice setup.  Nice room close to garage and clean. Ordered up some Pizza to be delivered to us and we’re chillin like villains. They gave us a paper to choose simple things for breakfast (again covid issue) juice, muffins, energy bars, yogurt, coffee , tea hot chocolate, oatmel etc. You choose what you want and they put it together for you and you bring it to your room and eat. Nice, surely better than nothing. 
 
245Km day a big one for the mrs.







 

23 February 
-4c snow has finished 
3-4” wet stuff

I admire whoever's got time to create this stuff!  Or any who have time to keep up on reading it!...
 
"Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My 8-year-old grandson asked if he could say grace."
As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food and I would thank you even more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty, peace & justice for all. Amen!"
Along with the laughter and nodding of heads from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman at the next table remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why -- I never!" .
Hearing this, my grandson burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong Grandpa? Is God mad at me?"
After I assured him that he had done a terrific job and that God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my grandson and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my grandson asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied. Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is sometimes good for the soul.
Naturally, I bought my grandchildren ice cream at the end of the meal. My grandson stared at his ice cream for a moment, and then he did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman.
With a big smile he looked her in the eye and told her, "Here ma'am, this is for you, you grouchy old bitch. You must be a Democrat, shove it up your ass and cool off!"
Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it. He will make a fine Marine one day.

Any chance of a shuttle service by next year?

Someone needs to get in touch with these chaps, grab their equipment and streetview the Quebec trail system for us stuck south of the border this winter!

“Failure of this experiment”?  Over 74 million people voted for him,  more than any other sitting president in history and bringing attention to all the corruption by politicians and judges and FBI who live in the swamp, that by itself was worth having him in there. Biden will do nothing but drag them all back into office and it will be back to business as usual which means nothing will be accomplished other than taxing us more , fuel prices will go back up and on and on.... 

Reggie has been busy making things even nicer. Hoping to welcome you all sooner than later.
New outdoor area installed, Sweet Hot Tub, and Fire Pit area. All fenced in looking beautiful.

Copied from a friend: enjoy.....
Dear Employees: 
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Joe Biden is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. 
To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But, since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. 
This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who would have to go. 
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty 'Biden Harris' bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. 
I can't think of a more, fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change. I gave it to them. 
The rest of you can expect your Christmas bonuses with a little extra this year (since 60 people won't be receiving them).
(Keep your senses of humor people. It's satire.)
