I should clarify snowmobile safety.
Normally the kids get several evenings of class time from crusty instructors. This year they all had to take an online class and pass the online test. The drive a small course While making hand signals at corners and answer a few questions to pass the live training which allows them to get the safety certificate.

Matt, which Nephew?
I had a triple 400 way back when. Old man had a triple 750 way, way back. Didnt call them widow makers for no reason. Picked mine up with a toasted center cylinder. Rebuilt it, git it jetted right. Was flogging it out on the highway one pretty cold night. And it popped and started slowing down. I burned that dang center cylinder again. Ended up selling it, as I didnt have the money to fix it. Some guy from commifornia bought it, sight unseen, and sent a truck to pick it up and ship it out west. I made $500.00 on that bike. Should have kept it. Was a wild ride. Even if it was just the small triple.
Snowmobile laws for California make no mention of safety courses. And no trail permits required either. Minnesota has three times the text in Snowmobile law.

I'm about done with the cypress noodling project. I've worked through the better noodleable rounds. For kindling purposes, a round that was just longer than the 16in bar on the 241 would allow noodling in parallel lines one way then with again the round rolled a quarter turn while keeping the whole thing together. Then crosscut the kindling off. 7 or 8 tanks through the 241, about 1200 kindling bits and a 'cord' of noodles.
There used to be a lot of minty sleds like that one around. Great yard sleds. They seem to all have been gobbled up now though.
Agreed. Over here too. I see a lot more for sale in the states than here. I was very happy picking up both sleds, a 5x8 wooden tilt trailer with side boards, an ATV trailer (no tires), a snowblower, a ride on mower, a push mower, bunch of big gas jugs, a lawn sweeper for the ride on, my pioneer 1074 and poulan wild thing (and a few other small things) for slightly less than 3k CAD. Being on parental leave this winter allows the 2 eldest and I to go out daily and have fun being boys y’know. (4 and 2 and a half)

Derek’s Silverado is black
You have so many Nephews I never know, and when I see Chris + Derek you are always driving them, so I have no idea what they drive!
Hope Chris is OK and the vehicle gets taken care of.

Filled up the truck and put the chains on . Ready for the snow 
Chains work great, but instead I just put Blizzak tires all around on the Truck ... In 4WD I think it will go most anywhere with them and still let me do 60+ on the highway!
Half of the "weights" are missing from the firewood gym! My youngest son and I set a new height record for the stack by the door. He is 6'1" and 225. Today marks halfway through our heating season.....or I'm in trouble!

My boy asked the neighbor not to snowblower our drive so he could do it
. He's still a couple inches shorter than me, by next fall I wouldn't doubt well be tied for height, but I'll still have him beat for roundness 
.Pretty sure you'd figure something out if you needed more wood, maybe some spruce
.
Well, how'd the snow goLove the snow pics nate, super jealous.
We were supposed to get 8+ inches on Monday. All we got was a little ice
Sounds like we may get 2-6" over Sunday and Monday. I'm hoping for 6+
.We got a solid 4".
The wind is blowing pretty good at 20mph, may have to get the backpack blower out to remove the red oak leaves from the lawn lol.
