For me, car shows. Right now I am finishing up a friends 69 Pro Street Camaro then, I need to do some work to my Camaro to get it ready for the show season.
Re: YOOOOO!
Wow it's just too warm too early,but makes it nice to get out in the woods and get some tree stands pulled ..Then I think it's about time to start start tearing down a triple and getting a battle plan!!

Re: YOOOOO!
Were still here ..... check the site daily but not much going on
As for us were geeked over some new toys this spring and really plan on focusing on them and what it has to offer us in the fun dept.
Sledding for us this year was pretty much a bust . After the january of no snow we pretty much lost any excitement in riding this yr . With only a limited number of vaca days it was rough to plan anything when the snow did hit .
This spring we pulled the trigger on some quads and are going to be into them . This will give us time to find new areas for the winter toys ....when we can ride . Our plans are to go camping and quad riding alot this summer . I told snow4 we now can ride with only 3" of snow and not have to worry about snow to ride sleds to get a fix.
In the next couple of wks we want to get the quads broke in so we can go north for some mushroom hunting .The quads will let us cover more ground and have a blast dooing it.
So now we have the fun of deciding is .... can get through it whether its a big drift or a mudd hole

Re: YOOOOO!
Last summer was all about digging for me (putting in paver patio behind the house) - this summer is all about building.
First I am going to tear apart the sled and get it back into 'like new' condition. I picked up a new e-module off of e-bay for about 1/2 price. I also picked up a 2" paddle track and pilot 6.7 skis. I figure as long as I am digging that far into it I may as well go through the whole thing - new jack/drive shaft bearings, new throttle cable (starting to fray by the oil pump), picked up new 'take-off' front shocks cheap, put in bracing, maybe new bronze a-arm bushings, add the front-end bracing I should have put on from the start and generally go through it with a fine-tooth comb. We can't have 2 bad winters in a row, right??? I will take lots of pictures while doing it.
Next I am going to build a set of shelves and cubby-holes to try and get the garage organized a little better. Maybe if I have a real place the kids roller-blades, helmets and toys are supposed to be they won't keep taking over my workbench!!!
Then for the grand finale, I am going to build an entertainment center built-in for the living room. It will be 13' wide and 9' high. I pretty much have the rough plans worked out - just waiting for warm weather to start. Now I get to buy some tools - a new router, biscuit joiner and maybe even a real dust-collection system.
