Arrived this afternoon for stay #2 this winter, hopefully here for a couple weeks. I may have to move elsewhere Saturday night as the hotel is full, just an FYI. if you are thinking of coming up. This has only happened to me once before, stayed at Days Inn, ran into NEKSledder and TrailBlazer. Supper and drinks at the Levesque. and what had to be the coldest walk ever going back to the Inn. But a fun night of good food, drinks and friends. Last trip my Oxygen Helmet shield kicked the bucket the first week and week two the short wire shorted out, the 6 inch wire that connects to the sled and helmet wire. Now trip two week one, connect the cord to helmet and get the green light for about 1/2 second with each connection attempt. Several minutes later by pure luck, found a Canadian quarter stuck in the helmet slot where the cord connects by magnet. The magnet must be a rare earth magnet, I could not get the quarter out. Finally had to pry it out with a knife, and it did not come easy. The new Polaris Matryx now has 2,200 miles this season. Only problem so far has been the electric start which started to occasionally not work at the end of the last trip. Dealer installed a new part and all is fine again. I am really enjoying this sled. It has a nice fun factor, love the riding position and the handling. Motor is awesome. Getting really good gas mileage. It will be a tough decision whether to go back to SkiDoo next year or get another Polaris. I am really undecided. Another reminder, I still cannot respond to threads due to computer issues. I can only start new threads. However, I can respond to messages. Mike
