EC2) 17 Jun 2006 :: Auction Over -- EverestClimber.com Is Mine!
The auction is over and I think I am going to use this site as a chronicle of my four-wheel ATV adventures. What could be closer to climbing Mount Everest than my soon to be more frequent journeys up the mountains of North Idaho on four wheels?
The four wheeler I use is nothing special but it gets me where I want to go. It is a 2002 Yamaha Bear Tracker 4x2 with a 250cc four-stroke engine. I picked it up a couple months ago from an elderly man who is a client. His son gave him a new Suzuki 500 and he gave me a good deal on his old one. Up to today, I have clocked a whopping 3.5 hours on this machine. Pretty much have the hang of the lean and shifting is pretty simple on these machines -- no clutch, even though I'm used to shifting without one anyway!
My son has a lot more time on these machines than I do. Last year he picked up a new Honda 500 4x4 with winch and plow. Fine machine and he rides well. These things come pretty easy for him, he's been operating heavy equipment since he was thirteen or fourteen and he's a great soccer player and a second degree green belt in karate. He took me on a trip up to the top of Canfield mountain last month. Tomorrow, we ride the mountain again.
Random Humor: Ancient Commie Joke
A cold winter day and a long queue is forming in front of a Russian butcher shop on news of the arrival of a shipment of meat. By opening time, the queue is several blocks long. The manager comes out and announces that the shipment is delayed and less than anticipated and asks all Jews to leave the queue.
A little later the manager announces the shipment is stilled delayed and less than expected and requests all those under twenty-one years old to leave the queue.
Early afternoon, the manager once again apologizes that the shipment is late and even less than expected and all those under forty-five should leave the queue.
Around 6pm he comes out once again with the same announcement and asks all those under seventy to leave the queue. Finally at closing he announces the shipment has failed to arrive and there is no meat.
Upon hearing the announcement, one Russian says to another, "See, those darn Jews win every time!"
