Tuesday night I finally brought the snowmobiles back home from my parents. Got home just as the first flakes started falling and when we woke up Wednesday morning about a foot of snow had already fallen. School was cancelled so the kids wanted to ride their snowmobiles. Without leaving the yard today they each rode [...]
I can still recall when I really discovered the joys of reading. My grandfather had purchased a subscription to the Hardy Boy novels and every few months a new book would arrive in the mail. I would read it as quickly as possible, usually forsaking sleep as I read until my bedroom window would begin [...]
Can’t really think of a better weekend in a long time. Saturday afternoon at Summer Nationals in Worcester.

Another snowmobile ride over. Clayton finally decided going fast isn’t so bad after all. We finally were able to go over 10mph! Cam also got to ride by himself today, and he did a pretty good job. The snow is getting a little thin down near the gate on Bear Notch Rd, but up top [...]
