We had a couple days of minus 34 here,started frostscraping and boarding the fall beaver.

Been busy lately. I was thinking about a journal, I got a few stories and pics to share from this season.

That would be a good thing for us southerners ! I do appreciate to read and see your adventures there in the north country . Be well and Tally Ho

Good deal! I love those white feet!

So anyways. This happened. Thankful for good friends

wow, that will slow you down! Glad you are ok.

I'm glad you're alright too ! Merry Christmas !

Ouch!!! Been there, glad your ok and that you have those buddies that can help you out when you need it the most! Looks like you got a project ahead of you!

Been there done that - feel your pain lol.

You're lucky the water looks shallow there?
If you go thru river ice here you would be in 20-30 feet of water in most places.

That’s just overflow. It was -55 with the wind that night. I’m very lucky it wasn’t 10-12 feet deep and I’m lucky it was a short 45 minute walk to my cabin which I had already made a big fire in earlier

Scary. Lots of overflow here on the Lower Yukon and sloughs too. Glad you're alright.

Thank the Good Lord it ended well !

Glad you were close to your cabin when that incident happened. The recovery doesn't look like it was too hard either. Be safe out there.

Looks like you made it quite a ways before it decided it had enough. Glad you made it out ok!

Ouch, be safe out there.

Was it a tri-angle pole lift out Ryan ?
Glad you made it out safely.

Bfisch- I made it about 300 yards while breaking ice. Tried my best to turn right but couldn’t. Belt got wet and that was it

N50- we lifted the back end out than used the leverage of pushing down on the back end while lifting the front.

I pulled the motor and split it at the bottom of the cylinders. Drained the water out then used oil to displace the remaining moisture. Carbs and fuel pump were taken apart and cleaned. Oil tank drained and flushed. Gear box drained and flushed. Every grease point got grease. Muffler and brake rotor got a light coat of oil before the rust started. A bit time consuming but when it’s done right it should eliminate all water and I’ll be back on my line tomorrow. Seeing that I had the skidoo in pieces I did a once over of everything. Secondary clutch had a couple issues but I got a second hand one from my old 570 that’s in good shape. I Haven’t really had to pull wrenches for a couple years. Forgot how much I enjoy being a mechanic. Bearcat will be better than before I sunk once I’m done.
