"I better put my beer down for this"?????? WTF........i can't believe you didn't say "here, hold my beer" instead.

You need to hire a director and a script writer before you make any more of these filmletts.....

It’s looking like selfie sticks haven’t made it to MT yet.

Ben, half is mud, half is snow!

I thought about tracks but we don't use the wheelers enough in the snow to justify buying a set of tracks. They are $$$!



Creeks are running around here, you and Nashman should have made a ice chunk shooting vid.... Post it!





Travis bro Flavious, da snow is a melting!

Part of the farm program requires that women do something. Here honey, hold the camera honey while I show you how to get a Ranger (un)stuck in da snow....





Ed, nice socks.





Kings, winter is OVER, celebrating again today!



Charlie, camera woman was ALREADY holding the camera, no way in hell could she have held my beer!


I wanna get a drone and make some actual bad ass vids....


Right before we stopped for church this morning.

I spent a few hours sailing 168gr. SMKs through falling snowflakes this afternoon. It was sort of pretty.

Pics?


Just watched Kansas beat Duke, great game.

The cell phone camera couldn’t capture the flakes. It was blowing in my face pretty good in the picture looking down range.

kingston, are those low or medium m-10's?

Yeah, looks down right hazardous.

X-Low

I’m doing my part to support the Sams and Jims of the world.

Good man!

She cannot be a California girl as she does what you ask...

Brian noted my photo and did not like my slippers so brought me some a couple of weeks ago handmade in Bulgaria....

That steak got warts???

Ed

That steak appears to be cooked to perfection.....


New York strip?





Ed, she graciously allows me to be 'Mr Man' every once in awhile.... The rest of the time I'm puzzy whipped weasel.....grin

Seriously though, we try to have a little cheap fun every now and then.



48F here right now, the snow is doing a nice disappearing act!

That side by side has a nice comfy rumble to it Sam looks like good rig. I bought a quad last year now I've got s x s envy a lil..

Ya tracks for these toys they're $$ all right. And guys around here that run them including a guy with a YJ jeep, which is pretty cool, say take your fuel consumption before and triple it as an estimate with tracks. Pretty hard on drive lines too. They say they're great on packed or semi hard snow, both the jeep guy and guys with them on quads and side x sides, but they ain't no snowmobile in soft powder. And when they DO get suck it makes for quite the cluster.. as chances are the only thing you'll get near it with to try and pull it is .. wait for it.. another crazy with tracks on and atv! Evidently once such performance required the use of about half a day rental on an excavator on day 3 to get to and pull both track machines. Makes for some good stories tho

Salty, it's a stock '16 Ranger 900XP, full cab/heater, wiper, leaky floor, etc.. Bad part is the dealer who I ordered it from neglected to do the cab seal kit. First SxS and I didn't even know about a seal kit.

Until you hit a dry dusty rode or a big swampy spot you really don't think about it, that or cold air. Drafty around the steering column.

It's a kind of a dog in the snow though and we were bottoming out. Lose momentum and you are in trouble. Lots of branches and fallen cottonwoods otherwise I wouldn't have driven into the drifts.


I would hate to get one stuck up in the hills with no tree to tie onto with the winch!




What quad/wheeler did you get?

Huh, didn't know about any seal kits either. Now you've got something to add to your list of stuff to do some day if you ever get some spare time. haha

I bought a 2009 Yamaha Grizzly 700 off of a fellow up country. He was the original owner and she was a garage princess I guess, only about 800 miles on it And it came with a factory winch and snow plow which has been a big hit this winter. We had one dump of a couple feet and a few more around half of that. Scored some pretty good neighbour points and generally avoided shovels as much as possible all winter.

This things my first atv of any sort bought it for hunting mainly lots of roads in the hills here that get half washed out or buried by slides and generally neglected enough that you can't get a pick up in to. I'm getting smoother and more comfortable with it now, plowing was a good way to learn the bike actually. I wouldn't want any much more power that big single's got some serious grunt! Looking forward to snorting around in the hills once the snows gone up there..
