Ryan and I are both avid snowmobilers. Well we were anyway but then we had kids which puts a wrench in taking off for a weekend or a day on the trails. Now that we're all done having babies and Danica is easy enough to leave for more than a few hours we're getting the sleds going again. The snow season has started off well and Price county trails are open. We haven't started our sleds in two years. The last time we rode Ryan hit a deer and a mile down the trail some corn that the mice in our garage decided to store in my muffler started on fire. It was an interesting trip. My mom has offered to take the kids overnight Tuesday night this week and Ryan and I are hoping to head up to Prentice on the sleds for supper and a few cocktails. Two year old gas and a snowmobile that needed a tune up two years ago (let alone after sitting for 2 years in a dusty, dirt floor garage) makes for a lot of work to start. Ryan's Yamaha V-Max started right up. My Ski-Doo Formula 500?....well, not so much.
I really do love the smell of snowmobile exhaust...but not this much.
It did finally start and I got to take it around the field a few times but priming it constantly to keep it running was not my idea of a good time. She's headed to the shop for a tune-up before she sees any trails.
Ryan took Sawyer for his first snowmobile ride ever. He's hooked and its all he's talking about.
