Maydaze Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Bill hi. Just wondering how long you plan on staying up to the H.I. this year. Also, how much is fuel up there this year. I hope to make it up with Mike, Big Bird and Justin, but $$$ is a major factor. Hope all is well in paradise. Take care. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Bill, did you go out today? Yes, I went out. The internet has been down since yesterday. We got 12" of snow today. Lots of wind. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 The past 2 days have been difficult for one of the Allentown PA 7. His sled went down yesterday noontime. His friend and I rode back to the HI to get the friend's truck. Went to Ferland to pick him up. Today we took it to Real's. Rave valve broke, sled is a 800 Poo, took out piston and crank. Can't get a reman crank so Real is repairing old one. He rented a sled, AC Jag, and after 40 miles it started acting up. He is getting a Crossfire 8 to ride tomorrow. Oh well some things do look good as you can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saguenay Bill Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Bill, Does JD know you're taking these pictures? Yes she knows. I would be like the dog that chases the car. After he caught it, he does know what to do with it. That would be me. Now 40 years ago........... that's another story. My wife and I will be married 49 years in April. She has no worries. Life is GREAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

182ray Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Bill, Rob, I certainly hope that your lack of report yesterday only means that the ride left you both speachless. HT and I will see everyone Sat PM. Save us a seat at the table. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, Not trying to nit pick or anything but somehow that math doesn't add up. HT encourages me to "chase" the car. I think she hopes I'll get run over.

rob Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Also should say that yesterday was one of the windiest days up here I can remember, and that combined with the 6" new snow made for challenging conditions. By this morning, nearly everything had been groomed and the weather was clear and cold, a beautiful day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Yesterday with the Internet down I was not able to post. So I'll do it today. As Rob mentioned we did 215 in the snow and 25 to 40 MPH wind. Had lunch at the best place in town. Soup, coffee, 2 slow baked pork chops, no bone, salad, 2 scoops of mashed potatoes and cake.......$9.13 with tax. Can't beat it ANYWHERE.Few pics from today's ride.

Saguenay Bill Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 This past Wednesday, the day Rob and I rode 215 miles, we never past a sled coming at us. One nice thing about riding on a snowy, windy day. Very little traffic on those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saguenay Bill Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Rob and I rode 255 miles today. Then we had to go to R Spence and Fils. These are pics of the crew at R Spence. First pic is Karl working on Rob's sled, 2nd pic is of Dominic, Dany and Alain. Rob's problem was that an electrical connection was loose and the mechanic packed it with dielectric grease and all is well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
