Get ready for even higher prices on fuel and everything else, inflation at 7.5% annual now (that’s a $3750 tax right off the top if you make $50k/yr) and crude prices are going up up up. You can decide the details on why this is, but whatever the reasons we’re all gonna be feeling it more and

The snowmobile club owns 2 Tucker SnoCats. We had one groomer operator leave at the end of last year so I've moved from the ASV to the "Northern Tucker". This gives me a longer distance run but in a more powerful, faster machine, so I should still be out about the same amount of time. Curt

I am driving the car today. Rodent piss stench is noticeably improved, not much at all. Once I get the last carpet cleaned and a new cabin filter it will probably be mostly good. I’ll have to get a coupla pine trees and a crown air freshener to put in the car. Maybe some beaded seat covers.
