Here's Jason, Dougie's son all excited and telling us about coming over one of the portages where a young man, brand new machine, went off on the wrong side, machine landed in water and man was dazed walking around on the ice..Jason said his friends didn't even notice he wasn't in their group..Jason with the help of those in his group were able to get a tree limb, support the machine and pull it out..says likely it's a write off..

Must say I taught the boys how to snowmobile properly..believe this or not I was one of the first Snowmobile Instructors about 30 years ago when the gmt. mandated that you had to have a drivers license in order to operate a snowmobile even on the ice..that included youth 12 and over..I did classes at the hall under the auspices of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobilers..to this day on Greg's left hand snowmobile glove is a mirror..not more than 5 minutes or so would go by that I didn't see him lift his hand to check the rear and see if we were following him...did me proud!

So, must say my muscles are aching..Greg said my bathing suit was at his house, wanted me to go outside into the hot tub but I wanted to get home and check my sauce...too late in the day to burn it now lol

Best...spending the afternoon with my boys snowmobiling and seeing family

Worse..Noah who is about 4 hrs. away from here with Melanie at a weekend hockey game lost...he's disappointed...

What did I learn...a planned day can take some unusual curves...
My projects can wait...


All and all..I've enjoyed this day..
Good Lord willing, we'll gab tomorrow..
