Don’t go looking for tracks. The Indy I bought has a lug ripped off down to the cords and I personally don’t like running them like that. However, an Ice Attack is out of the question thus far and all of the used shit is either overpriced or gone in a flash.
Tell me about it.
We are wanting to take the track (121) off the 99 MXZx 440 sled and put it on the 97 440 F/C for the grand kids to ride. We have had a track ordered and paid for since May to be able to do this and still not here. What size track you looking for? We have a 129 x 1.25 Ice Ripper and a 136 x 1.5 Ripsaw (I know to big), if either will work.

Did you click the link from the state of Michigan to see what they consider a on road legal ORV?
Yes and did you read that I posted that they changed the requirements a while back?

Great 👍
Now, show me the compliance items listed on the website.
Edit:. Those tires are DOT approved? Let me get a screenshot of this...
See other post, the requirements for plating a SxS in MI was changed a few years or so back.

^^^^ This
As far as I know they changed the requirements on plating SxS a couple of years or so back as it seemed everyone was plating them. I've seen plated SxS riding the roads up there in northern MI.

Yeah, I commented on this in the other thread but she is just awful. Absolutely horrific. No doubt the relative of a senior member of Textron. She has to be the most uninspiring person to ever shill for a motorsports brand and a terrible public speaker to boot.
Heidi McNary is the Senior Vice President and General Manager, Powersports, leading the Arctic Cat and Tracker Off Road business lines and organizations.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why they didn't get all the civilians out while they still had soldiers there to 'hold the fort', then pull the soldiers out. Seems like a lousy strategy to me.
Simple that's common sense, as for the Biden, he thinks with common dollars as you can tell by his spending.

How’s Joe doing ? Will he stay out of the basement ?
That’s the important questions of this time period.
Joe going in Vacation, VP Harrus going to Asia.
lololololololol
Hey that made me think of a great idea. Biden should get on the tube and tell ever American over there to find a basement to hide in, after all he's very good at hidden in them.

When we were up there a few weekends ago I didn’t pack anything but shorts and t shirts and was freezing my ass off. Kohl’s to the rescue. Otherwise we bring everything we will need with us.
Surprised you don't have a closet or dresser set up so that you can keep clothing for different weather conditions when up there.

The wait to be checked out, the last Walmart I was in, had a 1 hour wait to be checked out. That was up in Gaylord, on a Saturday. Zero self checkouts were open because they didn’t even have anyone to man those.
The easiest thing for you to do is order online and pick it up in West Branch, that's what we usually do unless we take 33 up, same thing for Home Depot. We pass by both in Bay City, to crowded.

Thats ok, I’m sure they’ll all end up in a middle management job in which they feel they are both qualified and deserving.
FWIW, I’ve been using the self checkout at every organization that offers it. I love it.
Sorry, I've yet to see a paycheck from Walmart for doing my own checking out/bagging, until then they can do it. The best thing Walmart and other stores have done is online ordering. Quick and simple. I order almost everything on line.

That may be. I wouldn’t know but either way, I would probably break before the sled would anyway.
I don’t mind some trash here and there. Same as you though, I like a mix. However, I won’t turn down an early morning freshie fresh ride where I can rip for 3-4 hours without the trash and idiots that comes with it though either.
A little off subject
We went to Timberfest this pass weekend. Lewiston Area Groomers was there with one of the groomers. I had a nice talk to them about 448 and how crappy/lack of grooming it was during the winter, along with how come the gates are still open along 448. They said DNR told them that the gates had to stay open as it was state land. As for grooming not enough drivers to groom everything during the winter, told them a little would help. Then I hear them say to someone else that they groom in town and 429 (trail by Twin Lakes Marina) to help the businesses. Number 1 complaint, was why they don't grade the trails during the summer. Another off subject, downtown area is starting to really pick up with new businesses, gonna have to see how they make out during the winter.

Any restaurant or chain that didn't have a drive thru has taken an even bigger beating than those that did.
I think I've been in 2 or 3 that only had take out in over a year.
Sitting in a restaurant? Not until it's below zero, I'm starving and on a sled.
Even then it'll probably be trail dogs.
There's a few restaurants on the list that I would hate to see go, the others I could care less about. We usually go in to eat, but we are also up at our place in northern MI, where most of the places are local mom and pop businesses, then there at the regulars stops on the trail during the winter at we go to no matter what.

A lot of companies around here are requiring their employees to be in masks but I don’t see a lot of requirements for customers, yet. I’m sure Momma Gretch will get that all fired back up here shortly though.
She's been whining that the mean old republican control house stripped her (scary thought) of her emergency powers that she had before.
On a side note just read this today. They are talking about having a surcharge for employees who are not vaxed. Now lets see your an employer, can't find people to work and now you want to charge those people who are willing to work.

Yes it was.
We have a place up north that I would not even think about renting, but as stated above it depends on what you want. My wife cleans a couple of rentals during the summer for some extra cash and usually they throw in a week stay after the season is over. I can tell you from the cleaning side you have good renters and bad renters. I've seen where renters basically didn't give a fuck about the place to those that treated it like their own. Also I've seen where some maintenance needed to be done while some one was there renting and the owners were no where to be found. Also, I wouldn't leave out things or furnishings that you might not see again or broken. The last place she cleaned this summer they had her clean, then take a video of before and after she cleaned, told her that way the people renting couldn't come back on her if something happened. She said that this year is the last year for doing it as it's been a hassle ever since covid started.

Correct. That narrative will be coming at us all even harder as the start of the school year gets closer. It will most likely be complete chaos by the end of the year when the cold and fl…..covid season starts.
I'm sorry to say that I've gotten a flu shot for years and never came down with it. This year I am not getting a flu shot as like the election, I don't trust them or big pharma co's.

Sled's looking good for a Poo.....LOL Just kidding. Hopefully we'll get more snow than last year. My sled is ready for the season except getting the front shocks refreshed. Headed up to LBL this weekend to swap out tracks on Bobby's sled, skid is already out. A few more things to go on that and than on to the 99 F/C for the grand kids.

From another site...... Spot On!!!Charley Reese's Final column!
A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end..
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel... He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
545 vs. 300,000,000 People
-By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. ( The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.)
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House?( John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. ) If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. [The House has passed a budget but the Senate has not approved a budget in over three years. The President's proposed budgets have gotten almost unanimous rejections in the Senate in that time. ]
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ..
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.
What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you.
This might be funny if it weren't so true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:
Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he's fed.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes

Tries to think.
Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.
Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...
Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'
When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the heck happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!
