Matt decided (actually his old track decided) he needed a new track.

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Whats the sense of installing a new track without testing it. . . He actually drove out of this!!!!!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Here's Tom (T-Bone), Matts brother demonstrating how he broke the windshield on his new sled.

Some people just can't drive in deep powder, it must be too much horsepower under the hood!!!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Or maybe it was too much of a good thing. . . .

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Then there was the water crossing that scared the hell out of Ralph

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Somebody ripped her bibs, and had a nice thong underneath!! Here she is playing Besty Ross and sewing them up!!!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Here was an interesting line Matt took us on

Re: First Trip of '06
 

The eight of us that had a great time.

Again I'd like to thank everyone:

-Ralph and Chuck for the great place to stay

-Matt and Tom for helping everyon out when we needed "Big Boned" guys to push and pull sleds out.

-Dawn for letting us stay at her parents the first night and bringing all the snacks.

-Kevin for towing my sled (and never his own), helping fix sleds, and cleaning the mess we all made.

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Oh yeah, I forgot, when we stayed at Dawn's parents, we found the secret to her success:

Re: First Trip of '06
 

I'm looking forward to the next trip in a couple of weeks!!!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Want me to front you the $ 19.99?

Re: First Trip of '06

Re: First Trip of '06
 

don't they have a lifetime membership deal?

Re: First Trip of '06
 

he got a good deal on that sled. too bad he keeps driving into 15' ditches

Re: First Trip of '06
 

He and Kevin are lucky, someone could have gotten hurt real bad or worse. I know that corner scared the hell out of me doing 80!!!!

And then for them not to hit any of the signs, trees or each other is a miracle!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Trip two scheduled:

Matt/Dawn

Calvin/Karen

Bill/Sandy

Chuck/Ralph

Kirk/TBone (Tom)

All nice couples, with the last couple being the best looking!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Kirk,

There's Chinese (Mexican, Asian, Indian, Pakistani, Hindu,.. fill in the blank) who sleeps on a bare cement floor, who will work for less, who wants your job, your house, your wife, your son, your BOAT. Are you still going on that second trip?

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Nobody can work less than me except Frank...and he wants the house, wife and boat. Actually i think he likes my son too!!

I have a very understanding wife. Plus I am a different person when I get back from my trips, rested, calm and relaxed.

Re: First Trip of '06
 

Kirk,

We discussed this before, is Frank interested in a tech job?
We could use another tech/engineer so I wouldn't have to travel so much. This week I was in Toronto on Tues, KC Wed-Fri. Last week it was Iowa, the week before that Dallas... I'm really taking a beating-looking forward to that heart attack, hey I earned it- nobody can take that away from me!!!

Re: First Trip of '06
 

It would be a good fit, he likes travel, is great with tools and is a dedicated person.
