My dad ( he's 85 years old) lives with us on the farm, and part of his weekly choirs is to put the trash out by the road. At his age it's hard for him , so he hooks the handle on the hitch ball and tows it down. He loves driving the 500.

Best looking garbage truck I have ever seen.

Added a couple of fun items today!

First Lynx of the year, doesn't show my pioneer but I was in it when I set this Lynx snare, I set around 12 and made four pens. We had a foot more snow come down so I'm done with the bike and on snowmobile now. The bike had the plow on it for clearing the driveway/yard

Beautiful animal .....

I concor...beautiful animal for sure. I would mess my pants if I crossed that animal in the forest.


As for my P500, all I did today was order some parts are the dealer and swap out the chrome center caps on my wheels for black.

Tonight I bandaged up my wounded Pioneer with Penetrating Liquid Wrench bandages. I figured instead of just having the liquid wrench drip off, I'd keep it up tight with a soaked paper towel of the stuff. So I went ahead and applied six bandages and held them in place with packing tape.

Time to go move some more snow, Once I get goin I don't want to stop, I end up doing half the block haha wish I had got the bigger plow cause she has zero issue pushing snow. I just put the sides on the plow and what a difference, I can push twice the snow without losing it off the side. Goin to get a piece of rubber to run across the top to help get the snow to roll.

Yes we have quite a bit now, way to much for goin around on bike. I'm using snowmobile on the trap line now. Picked up these marten yesterday. Hope the price goes back to where it was a few years ago.

Wow, that's neat. I don't believe I've seen them before, or heard of them for that matter. Would you describe them to me. And is it a pelt you're selling?

We always called them pine marten, while there are quite a few around you rarely see them. The do most of there going at night. I think they are mostly up north and I'm not sure how far they go into the states.
They are a beautiful animal and the darker they are the more they go for, few years ago I was averaging around 120-150 a pelt with some goin for $200.
All fur has been down the last couple years and last year I averaged $60.
I'm only running a small line now as none of the lakes are froze up enough for snowmobile. My other line is a 150 km on snowmobile and I run it once a week. Usually start mid December.
These are the preferred fur because they are easy/fast to skin with little fat to flesh and they always went for good $$$.
I'm goin next couple days on a small wolf line, wolf will take 3-4 hours to skin and flesh for $150-$300 a pelt while a marten takes 15 mins for not much less money. (If fur is up)
There is not much $$$ in this, it is more of a hobby and just a way to get out and see some country, it's a lot of hard work but I love it.

[Took the wife for 2 up first ride/drive. Had a great time together and no one eats dust like when we take separate machines. SxS is the way to go. The Turtle pulled great on steep hills with 2 riders, impressed!

That's awesome, thanks for the education. If I could ask one more question, do you know what their fur is used for?

The fur is used for clothing, hats, mitts, jackets

I had a blast on my first ride in my new Pioneer. Wife and I put the first 100 miles on it at Wayne National Forest in Ohio. Im very pleased and impressed with it. Climbs hills like a mountain Goat.

I puttered around the deer woods and dodged briars with my sons and my nieces. (Very slowly )
