Las,
Boxing day this year, we decided, as a family, to head to our Ice Shack.
Doug put his AC1100 turbo on the trailer (single wide) behind our Jeep & the other 3 of us were going in the truck.
At the last minute, I decided to put my 09 Tundra in the box of the truck, so Caroline could go riding with Doug, while Deb & I kept warm by the wood stove.
Secured the ramp to truck hitch & went to load.
Skis on ramp & track started to slip on the driveway. Backed back down & decided I needed more momentum.
Next run, got halfway up & track started to slip again, gave it a shake & bumped the throttle.
Well she gained traction & I thought I was going over the cab !
Grabbed the brake & bought her down.
Right through the rear window of the truck.
After an F bomb, I very soon realized, this was the best possible outcome.
Drove the truck to my shop, spent an hour vacuuming out glass & taping heavy plastic over the "open" window.
Back home, grabbed Deb & Caroline & went to the lake.
Caroline never did want to ride my sled, that day !
She just doubled with Doug.
Oh, & he blew the belt off the AC, @ 120mph, the next day. Thankfully, right next to the secondary ice road, as he didn't have a spare ! Could back the trailer almost up to it & comealong it on.
Phuggin heavy sombitch !
