Resurrecting a 800 Polaris

With the snow flying early this year, I am glad that I started working on patching my sled back together...




I found a machine shop in Logan that hooked me up with some "re-built" parts..that's the PC term for used parts...



I got it all put together last night and the "used" parts looked great. If I can get her stuffed back in tomorrow night then Saturday I think that I will have to take it to Cedar Breaks and drive around in the parking lot! There is nothing like snowmobiling in October....

Deer Hunting

Early Saturday Morning on Cove Mountain…


After hunting for a few hours without much luck we headed over to see if the Frei’s camp was doing any better. To find Preston telling jokes at their camp...





We drove up the road a bit to look at an old camp site and spring, it was really a pretty spot.




I love the trees when they change in the fall.





I have to give it to Lainee for camping in a tent for 2 days in the middle of no where! Not as nice as the trailer was but she pulled it off pretty well (she will have to tell you her secret way to cook a steak with out a grill or pan)..Way to go Lainee...





This was my view for 2 days someones taillights and a whole lot of dust...We had it all but the deer!

Going back out Sunday and running into people that I haven't seen for years on a road that get 2 cars a month on it is just crazy! But fun...And boy dose the "BS" start to flow...

We stopped and look at some old mine shafts, pretty crazy that this hole in the mountain was probably dug by hand by someone a long time ago...People new how to work back then...

One last push Sunday toook us to the top of the Mountain above the Apex mine this is quite the view, we could see all the way to Apple Valley. We started at the bottom of an elevation of 4420 feet and at the top the GPS said 6700! I hope that this hill gets some snow this winter cuz I would love to climb that on a snowmobile!

Grampa teaching Landon and Preston how to roll rocks. (This is my favorite thing to do hunting) grampa had the winner rock for the day, I thought it was going to roll all the way to town!

Looking from the top of West Mountain down at Mesquite. Wow what a view!

Swiss Days

The Buick was looking great for the Swiss days parade





I think that the hats that mom found made us all look pretty good.




I could not believe how many people was watching the parade...

I was hoping for a trophy at the car show with the Buick. Doug and Jim took one home...Next year the 10 wheeler will be a big hit!

Fall on Cedar Mt

Shalon resting after some fishing on Navajo Lake









This is a photo of the hole in the dam at Navajo lake, boy I hope that they fix it....









Jon is happy when he is fishin!









Bonnie was the only one catching the fish but Shalon was feeling good (no puking!)Yeepeee!







WOW, nice fish!






Sherry was sick so we gave her a "swine flu" mask to ware! :)





The trees are changing early this year, boy is it pretty!

PS: Pray for snow

Sled prep time...Anybody got some Mighty Putty!

I am looking for someone with a good welder!


Dang the bad luck, the Crank pin broke on the last ride this spring....Bummer that is just a sad sight!




Good thing that I am starting early this year! (wait, I start early every year :)

Start time to pull the engine 7:50

Ending time out on the work bench 9:10...dang thing has a zipper on it!

Home Coming at Dixie

Aleesha is all grown up...


The girls giving the guys the brush off...




I like the red shoes!

The girls at the Powder Puff football game, on Wed night

Smells like Horse Power!

Big Block Chevy's are invading the shop!

The Speed shop boys have been gathering up parts and it looks like I will have enough parts to get the Chevelle back together!

That is just like looking at the Picasso, well maybe better....there is nothing like 468 CID of Bad Ass Big Block Chevy!

Doug and Jim in tear-down mode....

If you look you can see the Chevelle behind Doug, Oh it is so on!

(if anyone knows of a big Nos kit that someone is selling, get there number for me but don't tell Doug and Jim cuz I don't want them feeling to bad when they are staring at my tail lights!)

I think that Jim likes to have his photo taken...
