Urban Sledding

Well this past Tuesday, I finally got to go Urban Sledding, or power sledding, I've heard it said quite a few different ways. You tie a rope behind a vehicle, get on a sled, and hold on! We keep the speed under 35 mph. It's quite fun. You weave back and forth behind the vehicle, getting up on the snowbanks when ya can. I think me and my Buddy James are going to make it a yearly tradition when he comes up from the cities to visit. We also had a flashback to high school. I went in the ditch for the first time with my new explorer, in High School though, it was always us digging him out of a ditch. I tried to do a 360 with the new explorer. Unlike the old one, the 4X4 kicks in automatically in this one, so about 120 degrees into my 360, I just stopped and continued sliding in that position. Right into a snowbank. I was so far in that the hood on the passenger side was just about under snow. The front passenger wheel wasn't even touching the ground. It the 4 of us a good hour to get it out, with James, Jacob and their friend doing the most work. I just got to spin the tires and hope that it'd drive out. When we got back from that expedition it was immediately time for a Sauna! For all those people out there that haven't experienced a Sauna, you's don't know what you're missing. I wish I had one at my house. When I get a camp, that's going to be the most important addition. As my grandparents used to say, if a Sauna doesn't cure it, it's not curable. Anyways, Christmas was ok, and New Years was a blur. As the song says, maybe this year will be better than the last. Well I'm out like the gout. Peace out and keep it real, Live Long.
