We woke up this morning and it was about twenty below zero. Brrrrr! I was cold all night, which is probably why I kept waking up all night. I'd done the motherly thing and given away my big blanket to Bear so he wouldn't be a bear the next day.
My sister-in-law and her husband had to leave back to the real world today. They drove their truck so they could pull our snowmobiles for us. So Big D and Papa Ray went out to load the machines to be taken home. It took a little bit to get them started, every thing was frozen. Once they did get them started they had a hard time getting them to move because they were frozen to the ground.
After about thirty minutes every thing was loaded and on its way home. One of the guys down in the loading area started laughing when they saw Big D driving his 1979 snowmobile to load it on the trailer. He said he had about six brand new machines and they couldn't get them running for nothing, but here are these ancient machines and they are the only ones in the area driving down the road.
Big D said all the big sexy trucks in the loading area had their hoods up with dudes hanging out the top. No one could get anything started this morning. I was so happy that my in-laws decided to extend our vacation by a day. We weren't part of the mad rush to get loaded and checked out.
I don't think the people in the cabin next to us ever got their truck started. They had to be towed out.
It is funny, out snowmobiling we get a lot of funny looks and some snickers because our machines are so old. Practically everyone we passed had brand new big dog machines. We were the ones smiling today as ours are the only machines that would do anything. Big D puts a lot of time into pampering his machines and I think it really paid off for him today.
