Ever notice how sound travels out on a frozen lake?
I don't think anyone figured out an easy way to start
a motor in sub-zero temps. Least...from all the French
being spoken, and the dim...fllldddrrrr...fllldddrrrr....flllldddrrrr
(10 mins later) fllldddrrrrr..flldddrrrr flddrrfldddrrflddrrflddrfllllddddrrrr
F#@$###& G#@#$D@#$##S&$%B%$#@@#C%$#@#$S#$@#$!!!!!

But we were use to it after practicing all Fall with our 60 lb. chainsaws.
I remember my Dad got to use the chain saw mostly....
and I was still stuck with the axe and crosscut saws.

I don't remember the make or model of our first chainsaws.
I do remember them being huge and heavy.
Still...they beat crosscutting a tree....and trimming with an axe....
good lord...all the hand splitting.

Sounds like some of those snowmobiles have pretty good sized engines. This may be a scary question but how fast do some of them go? 8)
