Have an amazing girlfriend, and a two year old Lab cross named Indy (used to be a Poo guy).
Drive a slightly done up '07 Cummins, as well as a few beaters. Ride an '08 M8 S/P.
In the summer, I wait for winter, and do as much camping, shooting (don't hunt though), and quadding as possible.
Great thread, Seth!

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's quite breathtaking... I suggest you try it.

Old names are here on occasion, they peek back into the snowest window remembering the addiction

The arguement with Animal a few days before being buried in the slide and passing away, the fact that I never was able to appologize to him, hit home as well as when Kris married off into Montana. Friends taking advantage of my sleds, parts etc... dropped me back into the shadows of snowest. Losing friends is tough.
Snowest is worth looking out through the dark, into again, because there are a lot of new, good people on here.
Like I have always said "You have to have fun with life for life to have fun with you"
Snowest still makes life fun

OK - I went and breezed through quickly and actually seen some posts by a few folks that I know.
Brandy & Greg I have met and rode with.
A handfull of others are from the "old days" too. I assume triple is old skewl - but his join date tells a diff story? Snowwizard, Winterbrew.... Some of the others I just aint sure aboot???
I see lotsa newer join dates just this last yr. I suppose many of the old crew got sorta burned out as I did and found something new that interested them instead? Maybe they just got a bloody job!
I started life as Chad Oxender back in late '66, but NOT the Chad Oxender from Idaho. (He's gotta be kin tho b/c there aint many of us to begin with!)
If you are a Chad and are older than 12/66 - you let me know eh? B/c I aint never met one older than me.
You should se some of the looks I git when I ask some guys too. LOL!
Been riding ever since my dad came home with a new '75 Deere 800 (440 fan) Had my own 175cc Polaris new in '76
The heavy snows of the 70's and early 80's all dried up around here by 1984 and for the most part my sled (I had a '75 Deere 800 by then - but not my dads old one.) went into storage - only to come out occasionally for many yrs. (It hasn't snowed here like it used to since, although we did have fair amount of cover this last yr I think? I don't ride here - EVER!)
My paperwerk says that I am a certified State Farmer dated in late April of '85 - on a date that we all shoulda been planting corn.
Me and my chumm started DJ'ing parties and such pretty serious like by 1988 I'd say... Maybe '87
Have been a self employed machine shop owner since 1989. Started as tool and die and somehow ended up in production.
Miraculously we are somehow still in business in spite of the last 7-1/2 yrs of economic war with China. (Which we seem to be loosing BTW.
)
Married in '90.
Kid in '91 - imagine that!
Another kid in '93
I gave up the DJing by '93 as I was too busy in the shop.
My chumm proposed we both get back into sledding in '94 as we started going to the UP for a cpl yrs. (Closest descent snow) but that got old (Too many and TOO LOUD (Kittys) of sleds) and we then started riding in N Ontario. (They have TOPOGRAPHY!)
Sleds got bigger & longer and then so did the miles on the truck as I make it west on average of once a yr.
My core group includes me and my chumm still, my boy is now 17 and has been riding with us for quite some time, and a fella from a ways off that likes to ride like we doo. We all ride '02's and most are 800's. We're all tightwads - what can I say?
Then there is my "go west" chumm from here on SW that I never know what on Earth he'll be riding next month! LOL!
Oh - and BTW - for all you Johnny-Come-Latelys, I am the official SW axe murderer. So keep your distance BOY! And Festus is my hero.
