Real lean.

Last  March my wife's z400 started stalling on her unless she eased into the throttle. Didnt want to idle. Had to choke it a little for it to run worth a crap. Cleaned the carb a couple times with no change. Plug was looking a little lean. Tinkering on it now I noticed a big ass hole in the...

Heading to Glamis in 11 days for our annual spring break trip. Going to be about 3 weeks on the road/camping. 10 days in Glamis.🤙 We like to stay at a camp ground on the way out of Glamis to hook up, shower, do some laundry, dump tanks and swim.  We've been doing Glamis North but want to try...

Twins 14 birthday was yesterday.  My boys grown 7" since last March.  Going to have to do some shock tweaking for this trip and start looking for their next machines.

Have had to stand up the kids lt80s, their raptor 250s and the wife's ltz400. As mentioned. Make sure fuel level.is below cap, turn the fuel off and run the carb dry or drain the carb. Put some sort of material under or around the grab bar .  Grab bars made some indentations in my TH floor. ...

Had Carpal Tunnel surgery yesterday.  Ran up the highway and caught some ice races.  Haven't done it in years. Not many cars but a good show.  Good weather. 

This old girl is a beast in the snow. Once you get her cold blooded v8 fired off.

It's wood. Before the fan took a dump around Thanksgiving, it would cook you out. You can load it up and shut the air down and walk away for about 5 hrs. Not super efficient. Going to have to rip out a bunch of stone to fix it. Wood Fire place/insert on the entry level is pretty big. Has a fan...

Been snowing, blowing and cold as hell here the last 4 days. It's actually started to warm up.  It was -15 an hr ago.🥶 That's without the wind chill. West of Denver.

Does anyone try to make sure their paddles scoops are clocked? Wondering if it would make the ride better or worse on the twins Raptor 250s. I'd imagine it wouldn't be noticeable in a larger machine, sxs or a rail.

Tinkering on the kids and wifes machines. Got to get a parts list going for our Glamis spring break trip. Clearing snow and keeping the wood stove raging. Supposed to be a colder than crap the next 3 days. -8 this morning + 40mph winds. Brrrr.

Chilled yesterday.  Recovering from Trigger Finger surgery. Plowing today.  Another white Christmas here. Mother and brother in law coming for dinner this evening.  Dinner with my family tomorrow. 

I've been rolling a 2wd work van most days for 23 years. We are at about 8800'. Just west of Denver. Im heavy with good studded snow tires being key. Or fresh A/T with a snow rating. Have ⛓️ if needed. Most have no idea how to drive in the snow or be prepared. Time to go knock on some wood...

Have to work all weekend.  Next day off isn't until 12/22 Got about 10" of snow. Was a fun drive home last night. Chaining up the van and heading to work.  Not happy.

Processing some firewood. Daughters enjoying smashing stumps. She's getting the hang of it. It was 36 degrees out and she was sweating her 13 year old but off. Her and her twin brother split, moved and stacked about 3/4 of a cord. Figured out why my damn TH marker lights and some tail lights...

I went through this same dilemma. My twins went from pretty seriously modded lt80s to Raptor 250s.  The raptors have been bullet proof for a couple seasons now.  We've had a few blasters in camp over the years. Seems like they all stick once the rider starts really hammering them as they get...

Kids had their middle school Halloween dance last night. My son and wife made his costume out of foam. Kids did a 5k run/walk through an old cemetery this morning.  Wife and I handed out candy and cheered everyone on.  Was 16 degrees and spitting snow. Froze my butt off. Not ready for this...
