In other news...I wrecked the rick front of my sled on Christmas day...(another reason I have not written much) Fortunately it was only at about 6 or 7 mph and right near the house...but it still threw me for quite a loop. It was one of those moments where I took my eyes off a corner for a couple seconds to see where the followers were and next thing I new I was flipped off to the side and landing on my noggin. :P Good thing for helmets and thick skulls! It is not anything to joke about I suppose...it could have been much worse. It just goes to show that you do not have to be speeding down the trail at 80 mph to ruin everything. We had just gone for an 1 1/2 hour ride...and were getting ready to pull back into the yard. I have insurance coverage that should get me back out on the trail soon...but I want to remind everyone that we really need to be careful on the trails. If I can ruin my sled at less than 10 mph...imagine what you could do at 20...30...40...or 90 mph. You would probably be dead under the right circumstances. Grim notes are now over. ;)
We had seen some fairly cold temps and the snow was sticking around nicely...until yesterday. We saw temps in the mid-40s...and today again the 40s with some rain...heavy at times. I would guess the trails that were wearing a bit thing will be just about down to dirt by the end of this warm evil that is coming through. It is supposed to hit the road by the end of the weekend and bring some snow back into the mix...but it does not right now look like anything of excitement. Too bad since we are already a month through snowmobile season...with 2 or 3 months at best to go...unless we get some big snows coming up here in January and February. It could happen...right?
That about covers it for now...I hope you all had a great Christmas...and I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and prosperous new year! :)
Goodnight from Northern Michigan,
Derek
