What have you done for pure fun lately?
If has been cold up here, -20 in the morning and rising to -12 during the day. The cold has brought the sun with it and it is beautiful. Yesterday afternoon, Brother Tom and I rode skidoos over to our neighbour’s place.
I haven’t driven a skidoo since I was a teenager…but it all came back quite quickly. I put on my most fashionable snow attire, jumped on, and away we went. After riding for a bit we stopped for a photo-op.
When it was time to carry on, my sled refused to start. Not a problem for Brother Tom. First came the examination of the motor, quickly followed by a diagnosis. Something was cracked, or had a hole and was not letting the gas through. ( I think that’s what it was). Out came the tools and before long the problem was solved. Thanks to some duct tape that Brother Bill had wrapped around the handle bars. Amazing!
We continued on to the neighbours, and just before we arrived we met Julia, cross-country skiing with her dogs. We all went back to her place, and while Brother Tom made trails around their farm, I had my first lesson in cross-country skiing. Unfortunately the camera stayed in the house, so I have no actual evidence to show you how well I did. I am sure I looked like a pro as I gracefully moved through the fields, especially up and down the hills. You will have to take my word for it…
After the ski, and cup of hot tea, we hopped back on the sleds and headed home.
I had fun yesterday!
