Meanwhile in the UP....Another morning with -26F today. Today's high is predicted to be -2....Saturday's high temps are predicted to be near 28F. At those high temperatures please make sure you don't let the elderly or young ones outside with their jackets on. Heat stroke is a real concern....now back to our regularly schedule programming.

Yeah, I was on the GM powertrain site the other day and saw they listed the 5.3 for marine use. Not that it is any indication of availability, it was just interesting that they listed it.

Tomorrow we move to our new office across town, it's been a lot of work in the last few weeks getting things ready. Packing all our shit up right now for the movers to get it tomorrow.

Best part? New office is 3 miles from my house! YAY for cutting down morning commute from 45 minutes to 10

Just got back from a date. Girl I took out a couple months ago but she was busy with college. It went well. She wants to come out on the boat Sunday.

Townhouse closes on March 31st. April 1st I want to have it rented out and money coming in.

A swing tongue should be a standard feature of every trailer. Drill went dead I'll finish it tonight. Installing this allows me to park my ski better and I can use my patio again!

If it makes you feel any better, I wake up daily not looking forward to -30C or shovelling more snow that the sledders enjoy...lol

I just drove through Parry Sound today. If that is where you are headed you are going in the right direction. The trails looked perfect, and stiff as hell. The lakes looked really good as well. They have lots of snow.

Well just got back we nicked off 350km of trails through Algonquin Park/Haliburton, I would like to say it was nice scenery but it's tough to see when your clipping thought the trail at 60mph. Took my sled up but had the pleasure of riding one of the spare sleds, a 2013 ski Doo renegade, what an awesome ride!!!

It was nice here too, well until 530 when north wind hit and brought misting rain. Busy day catching up, charged boat bttry, mowed close to 3 acres, weed eater marathon, did minor weld repairs on spare mower along with pulley and belt replacement, fed cows, and bought some groceries. Yesterday I installed four light fixtures on house and cruised the fields by house on souped up go kart.

Hope it stays warm and maiden voyage for year coming up for spring break.

They are calling for snow.
I am reading reviews on a fishing kayak that I think I am going to buy this weekend

Chillin at my new office that's 4 miles from home. Still a lot of work to do, but we're functional.

Think I might head over to Ikea to get some things to jazz up my desk area a bit. It's boring and empty.
