Would like to hit the Minne show but I think we are going north that weekend...might think about pulling the kids from school and going on the way though @MS are you working for River Valley in Roch now?

@estrom we need to figure that out and have a BOS grindfest on the birds. Crap just saw you are in Cali...well maybe the new owners will invite you out for a fall tourny and shoot.

hmm an open pond in the middle of a corn field....anyone have the power to grant access for goose and duck season?

I don't want to find @MS in those pictures.

I still don't see @MS in the pictures. Guess the lasik was a success!

Where is this?

Morning after report on LAsik. Holy cow this is the Shiz!!!!! Wasn't super fun getting it done but I can read the microwave clock from across the dining room!!!

Hmm I might have to check it out @MS once I finish my bottle of Black Strap.

@MS what store had that? Bear Creek or was it Buck Eye next to the 40s?

damn

Forget the boat I'd love to have a lift and dock like that! Damn you MN and your ice each year!!!

Hey I'm a small guy now but you should have seen me when I weighed 115.

Seesh ya lards! 5'8" and around 130-135ish here. Goal is to work on grip strength and get my flexibility back this winter.

@OB now if there was a tourney where I could try rounding balls and then shoot some clay pigeons I'd be game.

thanks @oldjeep I actually was looking at the x-vest. Stupid question but with a 11 section rope what is the longest line?

hmm been slowly reading on this and I'm still not sure what the main question is. @6balls nailed it for me though when it comes to tourneys. I am not a bouy chaser even though I have tried it and would love to try it until I could figure it out. BUT with a wife who I got into skiing and 3 kids who are getting into being behind a boat it isn't even a question on where I want to spend my weekends. Hands down every time being up at the public lake with the family and skiing with 2 other great friends and their families is going to win. Add in that between skiing we can swim, tube, drink, fish, shoot, etc and I can't see any appeal to a tournament even if I could manage to round 6 balls.

Wow. I am kicking myself right now over why I insist on wearing a CGA vest.

I just want to see how that boat will fit in his backyard for the video!

@GregDavis, most guys are running those kits on 450s if they go the 4 stroke route. The 250 just doesn't have the umph to spin the track in deep snow. Some guys have had good succes running them on 300 2 strokes. @jlittle should know of a guy who is running one on a CR 500.

@SkiJay, those things are absolute beasts. Pick somewhere nasty and go have fun.

Whoa @jlittle when did you get a snow bike kit? Is that a timber sled setup? I have plenty of MN buds who put ice tires on the bikes come winter but I can't give up the sled yet....but I could if I somehow convinced the wife I needed a bike track.

Times whatever for taking the MSF beginners course. I rode dirt bikes prior so most of it boring as it focused on basics...but I picked up some good stuff for pavement. If I had my way EVERYONE who wanted to ride a street bike would be required to spend at least a year on dirt. When I hit a deer just weeks after getting my street endorsement I have ZERO doubt that all my crashes on dirt led to my first crash on pavement going as well as a crash can. Dirt is much more forgiving and trust me you will learn how to crash on it. Nothing like going 65ish and seeing a deer in the other lane, quick calculations said my best chance was to hit the binders....worked great until the deer decided to jump into my lane. Let me tell ya sliding down the highway at 50 or so isn't a fun time. Just remember no matter what others wear, etc, ATGATT, all the gear all the time. Dress for the crash so when it happens you come out as best as possible. Oh and pick your hands up when you go down! Guess now I should list my bikes. 2003 YZ125 for the woods and a 1986 Yamaha Fazer on the street. Tests the knowledge of bike guys when I mention that one. I will try and find a picture to post. LOVE that bike, only downfall is that the back isn't very nice for the wife to ride on.

One month today until I get rid of contacts!!!
