Wifey and I are heading UP Friday afternoon...

I knew the lure of a couple hundred semi trucks, over 880 tractors, and topping it all off with a new groomer implement would be too much for Toddmeister to stand. Now we will have to monitor him a bit so he isn't running around like a kid on sugar all weekend!

Ha ha very funny, now wait, where did I put my pills? :eek: :smilielol

I was intending to come UP this weekend but work got in the way. Always enjoyed the snow and a nice ride on the scooter around the area. You'll have to cover for me Todd.

It was a spectacular weekend, great weather, saw lots of familar faces, met some new folks, and got my dose of tractor duty, too. :)

That new tree grinder is quite the machine...

Will post some pics of the show 2nite...

Alex Debogorski from Ice Road Truckers was at Little Bear Arena. It was great to meet him in person, a very nice man!

He taught us how to smile! :)
