Well I'm bored. So... Here's '08 for this guy so far.
January, welcomed in the new year in New Zealand:
New Years Day in Milford Sound, New Zealand
Cleaning off my sunglasses after we rode a boat into a waterfall
Standing on a glacier, flown in by helicopter
A few days after that, made the trip back home.
Had to work a couple of days, but then got all the shocks re-done on the Fusion, did some sledding around here, then went on the SF ride in Isabella:
Fusion without rear skid or front shocks.
Erick's switchback, Jonesie's switchback, Cody's Dragon and my Fusion loaded up behind my F150.
Sleds in Isabella at the Knotted Pine.
At the end of January, I purchased my new baby, '08 Dragon 600 HO CFI.

Warming it up to go for the first ride!
Into February, nothing really worth mentioning, it was bloody cold all the time. Did some hauling of grain on the farm and my buddy's '04 Ski-Doo MXZX 800 went up in smoke

March, got the last licks in on the sled, since it got warm in a hurry and the snow disappeared. Continued to haul grain around and started rebuilding our planter.

April, finished getting stuff ready for seeding and did a very small amount of field work right at the end of the month.

Finished, ready to roll.

Just about to commence planting canola.
I thought this looked nice.

June, so far has consisted of shovelling grain in bins and spraying.

Got winded out of the field around 11 today. I'm bored and over-tired, which is why I posted this, plus I thought maybe someone might be interested. Or perhaps someone would want to see the pictures. Either way, that's '08 in a nutshell so far. Could be worse!
