That's a good show.

Winter officially starts in 12 hours and change.

Who all will be pounding down the gate at Princeton at 7am tomorrow?

I will be at Princeton tomorrow! Tentatively around 10am because my brother is coming later in afternoon so I didn't want to be there all day. If you see a couple dorks with Arctic Cat fanny packs say hi.

Ended up getting rain early this morning, so I got to Princeton about 10ish after all the good deals were gone.

Still picked up some small odds and ends, idler wheels, spring blocks, some handlebars for the Enticer, set of Rox handguards for the Doo.

Looks damn hard for a billet throttle block, but no dice.

Doubt I'll be back tomorrow. Hard to swing that 2 hour each way drive 2 days in a row.

I got a Jag cover, a good rear bumper, some running board grip plates that go over the rail, and a purple recoil handle. There were 2 things I came back for but were gone when I came back... Losing! Spent alot of time talking to some interesting friendly people. It was a good Princeton

I'm going to have to unload the car to figure out what all I actually bought, but I made 3 trips out to the car.

3 sets of carbides for the Enticer, studs for the Enticer, Rox handguards for the wife's new Doo and another set for my next trail sled, bunch of idler wheels for the Enticer, some misc. small stuff.

Found a like new 2 pulse tach for $1 to try on the Enticer, so I'll have to 3d print up a mount of some kind.

Don't really need any big ticket items, but since we aren't going to Supernationals this year, I might make a day trip to Haydays.

Maybe it was Friday late morning/afternoon/early evening, but it seemed like the stuff that was moving was Polaris triple stuff.

Drove 3 hours to Garage Sale Days, walked most of the swap twice and the vendor area once, left.

Bought 1 $40 item.

Not sure I need to go back.

I hadn't been there in several years, but it seems like there is way more yard sale quality stuff and swappers having a ton of area and only a small table or two of junk setup, or end cap vendors taking up 1/4 or 1/3 of an aisle for their trailers and campers and whatnot.

last year was the first and likely last time I've gone... easier to find shit I'd want or need on FB marketplace or ebay

this is coming up, but I think we're closing up the cottage for the season that weekend...
