Well friends, Its time to start thinking about snowmobiling. Below are some tips sent to me by a friend to help get us prepared.
*** How to prepare yourself for Snowmobiling ***
1. Go to your local snowmobile repair shop smile and give the first guy you see 200 dollars. This will get you used to spending money there on a regular basis.
2. Fill a 55 gallon barrel with sand and lower it into a hole, then lift it out. If you can then add water to the sand and try again.do this 5 times per day, this will help get your back in shape for lifting your sled out of deep snow.
3. Tie a rope to a heavy duty spring and pull it repeatedly with each arm until the pain in your shoulders meets somewhere in the middle of your back. This will get you in shape for trying to start your buddy's sled which he conveniently forgot was out of gas. It's best to do this exercise while someone is spraying starting fluid into your eyes and nose also.
4. Drink 4 ounces of cod liver oil mixed with a strong laxative. Dress with long underwear, wool pants,snowmobile bibs, insulated boots and a heavy coat. Then walk far into the woods without any paper products and wait for a personal emergency. This will prepare you for the beer sh*ts that come out of nowhere and at the wrong time.
5. Place your hands in a bucket of ice water for 20 minutes. Put the carburetor in the bottom of your deep freezer, climb in and shut the lid and overhaul it while holding a pen light in your mouth. This gets you prepared to work on your sled in the freezing cold during the black of night.
6. Find a place you can pay 5 dollars a gallon for regular gas,20 bucks for a quart of oil,20 bucks for a hamburger and frozen fries, 4 dollars for a coke and 100 dollars to stay in a cold cabin with springs sticking through the mattress. Stay for 2 nights minimum. This will prepare you for the high cost of future trips.
7. Practice explaining to your banker why you need another Loan for a 50,000 dollar truck to pull the four 12,000 dollar toys in your 10,000 dollar trailer that you still owe 40,000 on..
