Went today. Picked up all but the D15  maps for updating the lodging database. For some reason I never noticed their booth. I was surprised D17 had a booth of their own. Talked to Jon from Accelerated Technologies about some work. 

Permit in the mail today.

I didnt make it, i dont really need anything and its too much effort lol

Got an interesting friend suggestion today (no mutual friends) . Not sure why anyone would want to be friends with him.

 

Met him couple years ago at an early season sled spot. I have nothing against him, nice guy actually. But, I do remember a lot of people weren’t happy with him. I thought it was funny when he called out all the people that wanted to lay a beating on him, he told em to come to the wasaga drags and sort it out.  Nobody stepped up. 

E107 has been cleared in the Jack's Lake area. Apparently the work started north of the Nephton mine.

The pics are taken at the north end of the forest access road west of the lake/south of Apsley

Before:

 

After:

South of here the nephew flew his drone along the trail and there was a stretch of about a thousand feet, where the road/trail was completely buried under trees.

Hey Kris, miss your post's over at the other place.

 

Here's one I think you'll appreciate. After smacking the lower hydraulic fitting on my backhoe multiple times it snapped off. Bought a generic one, cut, fitted and welded

on, then came up with this protector. It's a combination of an axle U bolt, muffler clamp and some spacers. So far, so good!

I was thinking of a couple of spring shackles too LOL

As of 11 PM 7" on the snow stick here in Apsley. Nephew was saying 9" on the ground at Ballyduff (north of Pontypool).

 

Son and Grandson coming for a visit, ice isn't set up yet so they travel down the road

 

 

Breaking trail around the yard. Surprisiingly I didn't get stuck in the snowbanks beside the driveway. 

Off to the woodlot tomorrow to break the trails there & over to E107.

Some pics from Blue Monday
