neksledr Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 JG, sorry about your sports car! Hopefully they let you pick out a shiny new one with lots of extra ponies! Also.....you should have a package arriving at the clubhouse in a couple of days, so be on the lookout for it. Hope things fit! Thanks for all the great trails and pics, hope to see you before the year ends. Terry groomer and PLAYHARD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuse6 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Jean-guy, Groomer operators are the unsung heroes of snowmobiling. I’ve always thought it can’t be a fun job, especially the all night grooming, cold, loneliness then equipment problems to deal with during difficult weather conditions. Ran equipment all my life and it is extremely frustrating dealing with tired machinery or trying to complete a job with equipment that is not up to the challenge. Step back, take some time for yourself. There will be brighter sun rises and happier trails in your future.

nyskidooerinnewhampshire Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 JG, From a selfish side that I'd like to think I do not have this a sad day for all of us who you brought great smiles too daily. We can only hope the boss approaches you with an offer in hand, no promises, that you can not refuse & is satisfactory to your liking. However, I firmly believe you must take care of yourself first and no matter how good the offer is if it is affecting your well being then I support your decision to call it quits. I am often asked when I am going to pull the pin as I have been doing what I do best for a fairly long time, with great satisfaction not only for myself but for others. In return, I respond by repeating what was told to me for many years with persons who have more time then I, "I will know when the time has come". If it is no longer enjoyable you know it best when its time to call it quits. So this evening Ginny & I will raise a glass of rouge at dinner in your honor, thanking you for what you did for the sport, the recognition you brought to the Gaspesie region, wishing you good health in the days coming and hoping the boss comes to you with an offer in hand, and with a clear mind focusing on what is best for JG you give careful consideration to the offer.
