Sliders, Springs, Skis, Tail light and Go...

Repair Log...

Big D, replaced skags.... opps I mean sliders. Homemade slide hammer worked pretty good. Left side no problem, right side slider derailed and damaged the slider, Big D made a run to Filers for a second slider. Installation of 2nd slider on right side no problem. Had a hard time getting the right side slider screw back in. Was finally able to do it with drill clutched to #4.

Firtherr, installed new Ski Doo OEM Pilot skis. As per Ski-Doo (Deep center keel holds line in soft snow; shorter outside keel bites in cornering and reduces steering effort. Virtually eliminates darting.) Also found and repaired taillight short. Yellow wire broke off tail light socket. Note: this was taped, not soldered.

Falcon, replaced skags... I mean sliders... No issues. Also replaced rear springs (and spring clips) in hope of delivering more travel out of the rear suspension. Note: right side bogie by spring clip is frozen on the sled, removed the entire assembly to gain access to spring clip.

Guests: Sharon, Pam, Mary Fran, Kathy

Ride: Blue Heron to Tap Room (Bill Grays) and Back

-Gassed up and Mobile and headed up to Bill Grays
-In spots there was plenty of Snow.. in other it was thin... crossing corn fields going perpendicular to the corn rows was not enjoyable.
-There were a few water holes, nothing too bad, all passable.
(Editors note: I particularly enjoyed watching the girls cross water, they did a great job and have been coached well "Hit it when you cross the water")
-Lost in Webster... Headed up S43, but the trail old trail to Webster was closed. This caused quite a bit of confusion and dismay.
-Found new trail and headed north... Very enjoyable and no more road banging
-Made it to Bill Grays, Had some eats and a few pops.

-Polled the Girls at the bar with a few helmet talk questions:
?Will the girls ever take a solo ride? unanimous NO
?If you rode solo, who would lead? unanimous Kathy
?Who would get the Nappi award (fastest rider)? Mary Fran 2, Kathy 2
?Who would fix the sleds in the event of a break down? Sharon 3, Pam 1

-Headed back to Blue Heron, Sharon texted her rowing friend at Blue Heron that we were coming and keep the bar open...
-The Polaris Oil light turned on... Ran a little low... fortunately we had enough to get home YIKES
-Big Johns Tail Light is out... No break light or running light...
-Ride back was much faster as the girls were relaxed after the courage juice.
-Loaded the Sleds and had a few at Blue Heron
