P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[Caper]

Rum Runners Trail If you look at this map, the section in red, which is the Chain of Lakes trail, is the only restricted part of the trail to Lunenburg. They say there is a 35 km speed limit on this trail, but I always use the common sense approach when driving on these trails. If you see someone walking or on a bike coming towards you or you are passing them then slow down so you don't drown them in dust. There are a lot of people on these trails on the weekend and I try to avoid them then. I work shift work at Michelin and I am off a lot during the week as I work 12hr shifts, so I try to go as early as possible on the week day. This trail is beautiful and you have a lot of scenery to take in and this is what they are promoting it as so be prepared to take sometime to ride it especially on a weekend.
The walkers and cyclist have to remember that the trail upgrades are payed by the clubs and comes out of the registration from the ATV's. So as far as I am concerned, it is not changing anytime soon because we are paying for it.
This map also shows you where you can park.
On a second note, You can travel across the province from Upper Tantallon to Windsor on some back trail and fire roads. I haven't done them yet, but hope to this summer.

Cool. Thanks PBishop. Yeah I would start in Tantallon. Everyone says it’s a great trail. My wife is a teacher so this summer we’ll be going a few times in the week. Should be good. Maybe we’ll see you.
And I drive the same in Cape Breton on Rails to Trails. See someone walking or biking, I just go slow.
Hopefully we’ll get above zero by then.

My brother in law lives in Upper Tantallon, so give me a heads up and maybe we could hook up and do it together. Its about a hours drive from my home.
I have a daughter who is a teacher here in the Valley.

That would be great. Haha. My wife has one more year for 35 years teaching. Then , that’s it. Then we’ll be able to do the trail in the fall during the week. She will miss the kids. Even the bad ones.
When we figure we will go, I’ll give you a shout to see what your up to.
I’ll have to figure where the eating spots are.
Have a great week PB.
Thanks again

Very cool. Ummm, what’s a Crichton’s machine. I guess it makes stickers. Never heard of it. So can she do anything.
I’ve put an order with @Hondasxs . I told him no hurry. But hopefully soon. Just thinking, I hope he got the order.

Haha. Thanks Chooglin. I told my wife about it and she said, yeah , you can do stuff for T-shirts and all kinds of stuff. Haha. I’m just old. And don’t get out much.
My wife said that if she wasn’t retiring next year, she’d have one. Haha, oh well.

Today just pressure washed the mud off and did a little wiring. Also cleaned panels and applied heat/sound deadening material. Here’s a few pics of the progress through today...

Nice work!! You liking that P5??

Lower floor panel, front and top of the bench seat. Same stuff I used on the BEAST. Noticed a lot of vibration with the Underseat Sub. Haven’t tested because I’m still waiting on wiring and plan on leaving it apart til then. Sucks because I want to drive. Want to climb some hills and jam the stereo. The wife won’t allow me to play it in the yard, lol

Yeah, the whole inside of my box is lined with sound deadener too. One of the necessities when moving large amounts of air, can sound terrible without it.
