    Had a great shakedown run out to Central. Hit some rough stuff mixed with very good. Some stretches were groomed a day or two earlier and not packed hard so they chopped up. Early season. Poutine and a beer. Happy to visit the legend of the Central.
    Left and headed 63 and rather than run the rough patch below Cabana again I decided to run about a 15 mile stretch of 63 that wasnt groomed. How bad could it be ? Its just a cut thru basicly to get to some groomed stuff. Well….
    So it went downhill fast. Stuck twice on 63 (ungroomed) trail that if you left the center by a foot you drop in a few feet even where there is a track already. Loose loose traction heading up the steeper hills. Bad call overall. Did I mention stuck twice ? Now….About 10 miles in the trail is closed. Signs and markers. No detour route. Dead end. Lisa says no way she is going back over the 10 miles we did to get there. Pick a direction. Run a road. Poke around looking for a secondary trail that meets up. Nothing.. End up on 131 6 miles from Glasiere in St Zenon. No trails accessible with our no local knowledge. Asked some local folks. They said the non groomed stuff is due to trees or water below the snow. Dont chance it. They are literally still digging cars off side streets. They offered to drive me down 131 the 6+ miles to grab my trailer. I caved and took it.
    So no great story of sledding to tell. 70 pathetic miles . Nothing got broke besides the tow rope. Just another sled adventure to laugh about with our sledding friends for the next 20 years. Weve all hadem unless you dont sled. This one was a particularly bad call but I got it out of the way early this season. ……on Day 1  ! 😂
    Im ready for a cocktail or 3. Looking forward to starting over tomorrow. Haha

    Maybe I'm wrong,  but not sure you picked up the sarcasm.  Best to plan to not stop at Repos if possible.  Especially near a meal time.  Too many people and weak food.  Long gas line, usually cash only, and someone always creates a problem right when you get close to the pump - no cash or some other shit like arguing over who is next.
    Of course your options are limited at this time of season.

    LOL, since we only have 7 people vaccinated so far, and none of them have spread the virus, that we know of, therefore we have no proof they will spread the virus.
    just makes me chuckle reading flawed or circular logic from "Experts"
    We have no proof cigarettes killed anyone... it was the cancer\heart disease\etc that killed them.....
    So is that with Cigarettes or from Cigarettes.
    We're all screwed!! LOL

    I have heard Bill is doing great and loves wintering in northern Maine.  Also heard he has made many friends there. Shorter rides nowadays, but still goes out often.

    Things may have changed .....but a few years back wife and I were going to Toronto for a summer concert.
    when the agent handed our stuff back he politely said “ ma’am ..just so you know your passport expired 6 mos. ago”
    i remember looking stuff up when I got home and found something to the effect that a passport is still proof of citizenship. Even an expired one. I highly doubt you’ll be turned away and doubt even more you can renew it at the border as they have nothing to do with it.

    Good riddance.  Electric vehicles mile per mile create more Co2 and tons more actual environmental damage.  JHC people are fucking stupid.  Imagine the environmental impact of building the infrastructure out to get the GD electricity to these remote places.  Ya think there's gonna be even 2 of these fucking plugs at Repos much less 50 that would be needed.  Christ!

    Here's Roqemont - Windigo - Dilligence - Delta - Fairmont - Roqemont, with plenty of wiggle room to play over LSJ enroute to Dilligence & Delta, make those decisions at breakfast, when you see what's been groomed the night before, but plan to get to the Fairmont early to enjoy the pool & casino (IMHO).

    What would our electric service and panels look like if these were all electric? Plus our electric Super Dutys, SXSs? Wife's trucks or cars? Imagine the stress on our grids with an inverse mix of fossil fuel vehicles to all electric.  Hell even 60/40 fossil fuel to electric mix.  All bolstered by unreliable "renewables".  In an ever colder world "saved" from Anthropogenic Global Warming by eliminating fossil fuels.  Think TX in record cold without enough electricity X orders of magnitude.  
    Imagine lunch at Repos or overnight at 100 Lacs with an Octopus of 220v wires charging up the sleds off the grid.

    In the absence of something drastic, it will be another 2 years before sanity MAY return here on this side.  On the other hand, President Pedo Sniffles just declared the pandemic over on 60 minutes, so there is that.  #reciprocity.
