We had snow yesterday off and on throughout the day and early evening. It was enough snow that you couldn't see the trees in the distance but not enough to stick to anything(too warm)
That Monday/Tuesday forecast may change. I am getting strong reports that the forecast may turn to heavy snow and possibly a blizzard. It's too far out to know for sure.
***** A SNOWSTORM/BLIZZARD with even More EXTREME October ARCTIC COLD is Headed our Way!!!!! *****
As mentioned in my last Post, things go Downhill by the End of October! A SNOWSTORM looks almost certain for the Plains/Midwest sometime between Oct 25th to October 29th along with High Winds & Even Colder conditions, all before Halloween. *The Exact Track of this possible BLIZZARD is still not known, so STAY TUNED Here as we get closer for UPDATES! The States that will be affected by this include: IOWA, Nebraska, North & South Dakota, Minnesota. I will have Potential SNOW AMOUNTS, along with the Track posted as we get Closer.

I pulled my clutches on the Apex after 13,000 miles and sent them off to Thunder Products for a full service. Glad I did, they had strong “grenade” potential..
Just got it back together with an oil change, and chain case oil change. Last night I put it back on the trailer and pulled the viper for it’s oil and chain case change.
I usually do these in the spring. But warm weather hit fast, and was encouraged to get the boat in the water. So they got washed and put away sooner than usual.
I’m jacked now that that boat and lift are out of the water. Gotta get dock’s pulled Friday/Saturday before the next storm. I love tweener season. Plenty busy. May get a trail ride in as well with the fam.
We just got back from the Black Hills with five couples for the ultimate color run!
Yeah. That train shot and the shot of him passing through my lines were filmed by a professional drone pilot. Here’s another video featuring more of that footage.

At least its cooler this week here in Florida, but I'm not boating because my boat is in the shop for yet again more warranty work. Fiberglass repair, another warped hatch specifically the door to go under the helm. Steering is still off and Port engine sometimes does not turn off when you shut down the boat or pull the safety lanyard.
Very fortunate to have such nice weather on a Friday afternoon. Got all the dock out of the water and ready to be tucked away in the woods till April/May.
We were very fortunate to have some nice weather this weekend.
So the Lake Gypsy got a full power wash, inside and out. Buffed out any new scratches with 3M Marine buffing compound. And the whole thing got a coat of turtle wax. I ran out of daylight, so the buffing was not perfect. And I never got the chance to do my acid wash on the lower hull. It may have to wait till spring.
But when you can see the leaves reflect in the blue, you know it's much better than it was. I may try wet sanding and buffing where the old decals were years ago. That fade is starting to show again with oxidation.
What is this glorious map you say? This is what snowmobilers do in November, waiting for trails to open up December 1. We watch where the first snow storms have dumped, so we can figure out how far we have to trailer to find ridable snow!
This all fell last night. And after the next 24 hours, most of North Dakota, Northern Minnesota, and Northern South Dakota should be blue! Some areas could get over a foot of snow.
