Good...and bad news.

So I started the quad after charging the battery and heating the shed a bit with a space heater. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's making a funny clanking noise and it does not produce the power that the ponies should. I'm taking it back with me and will bring it to the dealer for an oil change and check up. Hope it's not serious.

Another couple hundred bucks at least and that's if it's not too serious a problem.

Oh! Well! The joys of having toys.

At the Cottage

So I'm at the cottage with Nath and it's a beautiful sunny Saturday morning. We got here around 20:30 last night and there was a nice layer of loose snow on the ground. The temperature seems to be warmer (-15 or so) than it's been in the last week - 10 days. The girls decided to stay behind because it's exam time for Steph and Kim, well, she just wanted to stick around the house with her big sister.

Today's main task for me is to start the quad, recharge the battery and hook up the plow to clear away the 2 inches of snow on the ground. Hey! It's Manitoba, so I have to take whatever amount of snow I can get to have fun with the quad.

Lots of reading, relaxing and snoozing will also be on the agenda for the weekend. It's not quite what Cody was hoping for, cauze he keeps bugging me to go outside but then again he freezes his paws after just a few minutes and wants in again. What a short memory!

That's it for now and I'll report back after my attempt to get the bike going.

Cheers!
