If it's been in his family for years they must have never registered it because those registration numbers are of a recent issue.

Stick a fork in Patrick Brown - he's done.

This is true. Seemed like at least 60% of the sleds on the trail this weekend were Cats. Odd considering that the dealer network isn't really the greatest for coverage. There isn't a single Cat dealer in Muskoka. Must be that the Cat faithful actually get out and ride.

It makes sense when you think about it. If the cylinder is in the passenger compartment and the relief valve starts leaking you will smell it way before there is any real danger. In an enclosed car trunk the concentration of gas could easily reach the tipping point before you caught a whiff. If ignited it would be like a bomb going off in the trunk.

Here ya go Dirtybeacher. Pics taken today - this snow is so young that it's barely legal. lmao

That was Jan.1st last year, so kinda old.

Right on B Trail. East of Gravenhurst. Just north of Doe Lake Rd. Watch for this:

Looks legit. lol

You just let me know and I'll be sure to have the woodstove going and Bud lights on ice. I was thinking about going to look at a bike that's for sale that day, but it can wait.

For the first time in three seasons Snowcrest actually groomed B trail behind my place today. About a month or more off the normal start, but better late than not at all.

You're supposed to smoke joints with your ass?!?! Huh - all these years I've been doing it wrong.

I am curious as to what Sean's take will be on this one.

I have occasionally talked with and texted Randy and to a lesser extent Doug. They really are decent people that don't put on any airs.

Driving through Minden today the trails were groomed table top smooth.

They only recently changed that forecast. Hopefully they are right. AccuWeather and the Farmers Almanac both are calling for rain in the last week of February and the first week of March.

Things are starting to shape up in Muskoka. If the clubs can get out and groom some of this snow we got this past weekend should see a lot of trails going green. Get out and enjoy it boys, looks like another melt down on it's way starting Family Day weekend.

Thanks for the replies. My wife would like to get lasik but is hesitant because she thinks that it wouldn't benefit her due to the strength of her prescription. Part of the reason I am thinking about doing it is to put her mind at ease about the procedure and your wive's experiences validate the results she could expect. Thanks again to both of you.

Speaking of Shining Tree, what's the status of Three Bears? Has anyone been trying to make a go of it after everything went to the dogs?

I believe that Elliott has the stigma of a few failed leadership bids hanging around her neck as well.

Thanks. Good info.

If you don't mind me asking, which place did she go to and roughly what was the cost?

The one friend of mine that had it done was into the reading glasses shortly after the lasik. The other guy is 100% all around so far. Right now I can read the smallest of print with zero issues, but I am OK with that ability being diminished somewhat by the laser surgery if that is the trade-off. I think that I will book a consultation and go from there. Thanks for the input.
