Not quite yet, due to lack of snow, snowmobiling season has not even started yet. Relax, spring will come. ;-)

I hear ya. Daylight here just got past the 9 hour point. I'm "thinking" about launching. Unfortunately, access to storage is not possible till April 1. Then, I will have my detail guy do the compounding/waxing. Then, the mechanic change the transmission fluid. No oil change this year cuz I only have about 10 hours on last oil change. Then launch 2nd week of May, and detail gal do a deep clean. Hopefully, by May 15, I will start the cruising season with a day trip to Fish Creek, WI. Just 130 days to launch! :-O

Hans - Apparently you are not getting any impact from the feet of snow falling in our Northeast corridor. I wish these weird weather patterns would get back to some level of normal. 8-) er

Discussions have started around our house. Already contacted the surveyor to do new survey for insurance this year. List of projects written down, revised, revised, added too, revised.... and on. Hopefully it will be a mid-May launch!!

Big Snowstorm this morning. Going to finally get the sled on the trails. :-D Marinas around me open the long weekend of May 23rd (Victoria Day) regardless so I will be shooting for that.
