IT’S RAINING! 🙁
No good news this time with rain today. The ground has frozen up good so lets hope this rain does not thaw things out too much and temperatures drop again soon. Forecast is calling for snow Christmas Eve with Santa hopefully bringing us a good amount. Honestly there is nothing to work with right now needing 6 inches of snow to be able to do anything productive.
For now all our program machines are ready and waiting. We have also been wrapping up work on our club owned John Deere 7130. Brian is putting the finishing touches on its old arrowhead drag as we speak installing new wiring and led lights. Terry has also been out fixing a few broken railings on a bridge in Shingleton. Thanks to all the crew that has been out working hard in the shop and on the trails these last few days.
Again that’s it for now so lets dance for our Heikki Lunta Snow God and hope for the best. Stay tuned as the rideable season hopefully gets started soon.
