Rode for about 50 miles today! Was a pretty nice day without much wind so I figured what the heck... If ya go be careful on the county roads there is a lot of black dirt on them. Lots of combine/corn pickers in the fields today. Take care and N Joy the Ride././Jimbo

We rode from here to Hutchinson and back today. I have an uncle and aunt that live there and we went to see them. Was a nice ride albeit a little chilly as we did not get home before the sun wnet down! Hope to maybe get a little more in tomorrow! Take care and N Joy the Ride././Jimbo

My brother Keith and I picked up a friend in Isanti and we rode over to Smittys in Chisago City for $1.00 burgers. They were

awesome! It definetly will be a stop with the wife next year. We

rode county roads over and back and totaled 100 miles when we were done. I too, don't remember riding so late in the year. Drained the oil when I came home thinking it will be the last ride.

We went fishing today in the boat and it was poor!

I went on my second or third "last ride of the season" Saturday. Filled it up with fresh non-oxy fuel and Seafoam. I think this is it till the sand and salt is gone next year. I did manage to put on about 6,000 miles this season. That's more than I put on in the last 5 years combined! Glad I decided to start riding again.

Put on another hundred or so miles on Sunday. Rode to Owatonna and back to see the family that had all gathered at my sisters. The three boys each took the bikles out for a ride while we were there and now they are all pumped about getting bikes so that they can ride with us next summer. We'll see who actually saves any money over the winter for one. Still not tucked away just push her out and we are good to ride! Take care and N Joy the Ride././Jimbo

Mine is still ready to ride also. Not ready to give up on the season yet until the ground is frozen.

So far this season I've managed to put on over 10K miles. I might consider the Lake Superior loop next summer if I can save enough vacation.

Prolly not gonna ride again for a bit. Oh well should the oppurtunity arrise she is still ready to go! Take care and N Joy the Ride././Jimbo

I am thinking that another ride this year is pretty much shot now! I am sure that after today there will be salt everywhere and that is real hard on the aluminium wheels! Oh well, I can still go out and sit on her in the garage. Heck, open the door I can fire it up even! Take care and N Joy the Ride././Jimbo

well with the bike stored away and ready for winter time to gear up the ice stuff. I really was hoping for another week after that really warm week in october, to do the otter trail again down through dent and back up did for the first time (got a little lost) but had a great time doing it and put about 200 miles on the bike... well next year will bring oppratunities, atleast i made it through another bike season without an accident.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
