[Remington]

Hi Remi. If it was a liiittttlle closer.
Have you been hibernating.
Bears got it good. Get fat , then sleep all the crappy weather away and wake up skinny.

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

I am just sitting on the fence as far as retirement goes. I have been working at the same place for 36 years. I have change positions several times and now have a maintenance job and I enjoy doing it. I'm only 55 so it makes it difficult to decide. I want to do all these trails around here and maybe Newfoundland but I am concerned that I'll have 10 k on my machine before it is 5 years old.haha

I am lucky enough to have proto type serial # 2 of the @ALM76 bumper. We found a Rustoleum paint that is very close to the Honda Green. It looks great and fits like a Chooglin glove box. He did an awesome job with design and fabrication. I added some small LED lights and tow hooks. Need to get some mud on it to cover up my bad paint job and over spray. We will be at the take over if you want a closer look.
Thanks again View attachment 121636 View attachment 121637 to @ALM76 for all of his hard work.

That thing is sweet!!!

You have a good job. I’d probably be still working too.
I’m turning 60 in May. Still feel like I’m 25 some days, others, I feel 80.
I would love to do Newfoundland. A friend is going this summer up as far as DeerLake and around. They said you could spend a week just doing that part. They are going with a group. That would be great.
It’s like anything, keep the oil changed and she’ll live a long life.
Any snow last night ?

No snow down here in Arkansas. Mid 80's today and tomorrow then a cool down. I mowed my yard today for the first time. Hard to believe you Nova Scotia folks are still fighting snow.
Retirement is great lots of vacation but no money to take one LOL. I retired at 59. I liked my job but had all the bureaucrats I could deal with and still have my sanity.

Can’t make it to take over this year but gonna plan for next year

We’re not bad for snow, Minnesota could get 2 feet in the next day or so. It going up to 50 and rain this weekend up here. Should take care of the snow. PBishop works at Michelin. He got it made.
We’ve had snow in May before. Hope that’s not going to happen. Anymore.

Ya about 15 cm (4 inches for our US friends). They didn't even have to plow as it melted on the roads before noon but still cancelled school.
There is a neat little site I was on earlier today, Crossing NL by ATV Home. This is going to be a trip when I retire, just not enough time, but love to do it with a group. We have a friend that is from there and would love to do it also. I have a son in New Glasgow, so I can break the trip up a little so we don't have to travel all day to get to the ferry.
By the way, my birthday is also in May.

Your the first person who said I have it made for where I work. haha

PMs are a good thing.

Ya about 15 cm (4 inches for our US friends), since I was corrected in Costa Rica last year by a young lady who said we are all Americans, South, Central and North. They did even have to plow as it melted on the roads before noon but still cancelled school.

Haha. Mine is the 15th. Don’t plan on doing a lot. I’ll be going to Cape Breton for the long weekend. Should be good.

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...

I finally got a good day to put on a light bar
View attachment 121274 View attachment 121275

Your light bar looks great! Good job!!

 

[Eltobgi]

That's looking great man!!

Thanks! I’m liking this little machine more and more everyday! Just found a great deal on another amp so I will be running two KICKER PX class D amps supporting 5 channels! I may add a few 8” tower speakers to support mids or possibly some 6 x 9’s to round out the sound. Should be able to put her back together this weekend and take her for a ride

 

[Nashby]

Just need to figure out what kind of Radial Road tire to buy. I have been looking at the Tusk Terrabites and a couple other actual LT all-terrain truck tires as an option. Looking at these as a possible choice for the tires....

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Forceum-M-T-08-Plus-LT27X8-50R14-Load-C-6-Ply-MT-Mud-Tire/982433922

If anyone in the Minnesota area wants a deal on the tires and wheels I have now I may be able to hook ya up. They are 26", 9" in the front and 11" in the rear on a 14" wheel. tire with less then 100 miles on them!

Yeah buddy!! That's looking great! I like the back seat , once it's all done let us know what you think. I say, go for the truck tires, I absolutely love mine and will never go back to ATV / UTV Tires. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect setup for the p500, it's nice to see there's someone else out there that loves hauling around a bunch of passengers. It just makes me happy involving other people.
