themarm Posted April 20, 2009 #183 Share Posted April 20, 2009 snow machines=teenagers whoever puts those into the hands of a teenager is looking to have an expensive machine wrecked forever. seriously. they cannot be trusted to put their own socks in the hamper, and yet we are to give them snow machines??? NEVER!!!!! :p i love snow machines. back home, a small mountain town is referred to as the "snowmobile capitol of the world". after spending your day navigating a path system that often takes advantage of national park service land, and crossing mountain passes, enjoying views unattainable to everyone else - there is simply nothing that compares. give the kids guitar hero. they are less likely to bust that. they can stay their butts home and out of my path.

smrn Posted April 20, 2009 #184 Share Posted April 20, 2009 And don't forget Creek street. As you can tell, it was a beautiful day. It was about 80 degrees. My brother told me that it was very unusual to have such sunny skies. They get so much rain (like 28 days per month or so)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
