Other than those 4 days every day I've had off work has been spent driving back and forth from where we ride or putting miles on the sled. My dad has that old school Dutch work ethic where he needs to be on the job to feel productive, but one day I hope to have a good enough crew that I can spend most of the winter riding and only head south to check in on them once in a while. My aim is for 3,000 miles to be a shitty year lol I'll be at that by Sunday afternoon. You're dad sounds like a smart man and I hope when he says "jump" you say "how high?". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly...the likely scenario is that they fuck around all day, collect a check and joke about their boss being off somewhere sucking cock.

The third guy is actually my mom's cousin, he definitely works slower when we're not around, but he still gets the job done. 2 hours ago, steve from amherst said: 1/2 the time they fuck off when ya run for coffee.

Platinum Contributing Member Shifty Posted March 1, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 1, 2019 Sitting in my deck watching the sleds go by thru the trees. It’s 3:20. Close enough. Just got back from a little spin on my 99 xlt. Beauty of a day. 35degrees and sunny. I’m going to hit the trails hard tomorrow Solo. Definitely not on the 99 though lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice sled but what the hell is an old fuck like you doing with a sled made for a 20 something? Did it come with a flat brim hat a bottle of Geritol? Looks like a mid life crisis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
