Shitty Luck
Well, another batch of shitty luck came my way tonight. I just put the new track and skis on the Vmax and decided to take a rip. I got about 5 miles away, and was rippin along when I heard a loud bang and the sled stopped. Apparently the clutch is fucked somehow. After thinking about what to do I decided to go home and get the Ranger. I walked the 5 miles and started driving back in the pounding snow, only to get stuck about a mile into the trail. OK, at this point I was numb anyway so I cleared all the snow out from under the tires and went to where the sled died. Well one thing I friggin forgot was HOW THE HELL do I get a snowmobile in a 3'' raised Ranger 4x4 ALONE! Luckily there was a hill close that I dragged the sled to, then backed the truck up to the hill with the tailgate down and pushed in the friggin POS sled. I am finally home and dry though. Time to go spend $250 on a clutch

Well we got about 6 inches of heavy wet snow (the fun kind) in Mechanicville. I ordered the clutch and it'll be here next week, so when it snows tonite it'll already be on a good base. Should be good fun this weekend
