Who do you know needs a shirt like this?

Some not so deep thoughts on a Sunday night.

August has arrived and it means that I’m starting to make some noises about getting my project painting done. The first step in setting up my “paint booth” is to move some sleds into the house garage to give me some room to paint.

I don’t normally see most of these sleds on a regular basis a…Read More

When Dogs go on Vacation….

Found this in a store on Oahu yesterday. I bet the vast majority of people that see it have no idea what it is.

A little project diversion here. Finally picked up this little beauty today. Looks like the 2027 project is locked in. Long drive, but it was worth it. Nothing like that new sled smell. Gotta love the free-air sleds.

That sure looks like something Kelly would be riding……how bout it K Man?

Correct me if I’m wrong. Are the seats getting smaller as our butts are getting bigger?
(Asking for a friend)

Really enjoying Gary’s event photos, amazing stuff! You Arctic Cat guys also have to be lovin’ this. The new ZR White Tiger. Awesome looking sled!

Was nice evening out on water cruising back from Oshkosh after dinner and watching afternoon air show.

A drunk man comes home late. His wife sees him and angrily exclaims, “Are you drunk again?!”
The man shakes his head and answers, “No, I am not drunk!”
“Okay, then prove it. There’s a clock over there. Can you tell the time?”
“Of course I can!” says the man.
He turns toward the clock and yells, “Hey! I am not drunk!”

The Big Mac…

A steady stream of Aircraft lined up in Arrival Mode for AirVenture. This was Sunday afternoon.

Looks like we’ll have the website on AutoPilot at times this week as I’ll be working/volunteering at the AirVenture Fly In, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin over the next few days. We live about 15 miles north of the show so it’s hard to escape from the planes overhead, traffic, and visitors from around the world.
More than 700,000 visitors last year, so…Read More

Proud Uncle here! My Nephew, Ben received his Pilot’s License this week. Congratulations young man, the sky’s the limit and welcome to AirVenture in Oshkosh!

Brian, I’m adding a post with another photo of the rear suspension to give you a little different angle. As you said, there is really no shock dampening on the front swing arm.

The curious thing is how it all really works. The coil-over provides all the springing on the rear of the suspension by pushing against a fixed shaft that is only c…Read More

Anyone else feeling you need a break from the summer heat?

Really like how the site is still evolving!! GREAT JOB GARY!!

Sunset on Little Elkhart Lake 7/3/26

I doubt anyone else does this but I find that if I put a couple of squirts of Klotz in the lawn tractor gas tank when I fill it, I get a whiff of winter every time I fire it up. It really helps me get motivated to cut the grass .

On the Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” project.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Decided to create some fireworks of my own Saturday night (at least from a vocabulary perspective) and tear down the rear suspension.

There’s a lot not to like about the condition of the suspension. Some stuff is OK but I don’t think some parts can be…Read More

Happy birthday America!!😎

Happy 4th Everyone! (Thanks Gary for a website I can sign into today!)

The Kawasaki had two different solutions for the front and rear. The rear of the suspension is mounted to 1/16” plates that are replaceable. I was able to find a good right one on a spare chassis and a good left one on another chassis. Drill the out the rivets and replace the plates with the good ones. The first photo shows the hole d…Read More

The damaged hole is drilled out to the size of the bushing. After checking the bushing fit, I shim it just enough to be perfectly even with the inside tunnel surface. Done!

Free-Air Friday!

Co-worker gave me this shirt today. Apparently I”ve established a reputation.
