Made it out to the cabin. 😁 First time since October. Light was really flat so the sledding was not a lot of fun as you couldn't see squat and hitting snow humps was pretty sketchy at times. The good news is the locals have plowed some decent roads on the lake and my neighbor has plowed right to his place and put in a great big parking lot for us. 😁 Did some trail packing and left it to harden up. Not as much on the ground so far this winter and I was banging rocks so I will have to bring out the shovel and move some snow onto the trail. The snow we get here is really sugary and doesn't pack well at all and doesn't give much traction. Now for the bad news, I blew a tire on the trailer on the way home and while I was changing it out I noticed the other tire has some pretty bad cracking going on on the inside of it. My second spare has a rim leak so unless I can fix it tonight I won't be going out tomorrow. 😪

You should try the crap (bourbon) they call whisky in the US!!!

Welcome back bud.

Yep, it's connected to the Yellowknife River in the Southwest end. The river is navigable all the way to Yellowknife with a good jet boat. Watched a couple of boats with big inboard jets run up the rapids. Pretty impressive to watch.

Not yet. Boat fixing used my time allotted to hovercraft fixing. Plan to do it this spring if all goes well.

Only over the ice or by boat in the summer.

V2 can be upgraded to iPilot, v1 can't. My TM is v1. I checked into upgrading when I got the motor. I was able to add the co-pilot though so I have wireless remote. iPilot upgrade: https://www.profishingsupply.com/product/minn-kota-ipilot-for-powerdrive-v2/

Downright tropical now. 😁 Can't wait to go sledding and hang at the cabin next weekend.

Looks like there may need to be a little work with a body saw.

Today's sat image of Great Slave. Looks hard. 😁 The little red X is where my cabin is.

When I got back from my month long trip to Ontario I had nearly 2000 emails waiting for me. I do a quick scroll through to see the important ones then highlight the lot and click delete.

Not whisky but I purchased a bottle of Ron Zacapa 23 at duty free on the way home from Ontario and it's a really nice rum. My buddy that lives in Honduras is bringing me a 25 year old bottle of Flor De Cana next month. I'm sure it will be awesome. 😁

My favorite run was the Glades. Loved moguls in between trees. 😁 One of my buddies that I skied with was on the Canadian freestyle team. He could ski the Wall like it was the bunny run. Dude was amazing.

I used to ski Holiday Valley every weekend back when I was a youngun'.

You want toasty hands get a pair of seal skin mitts!!!! My friend just transferred to Sachs Harbor NWT and I'm going to get her to source me a pair. Down here they are pretty expensive, up in the communities you can get them cheaper.

We'll have to see what happens. Both Muzzin and Reily out. 6 weeks until the trade deadline.
