And when the snowmobile is government owned…You know I’m in trouble. Put that snowmobile in the back of a government truck… Well, shit, bad things happen.
Many years ago, I had spent a winter working in remote areas, accessible only by snowmobiles. Day in and day out, I would unload the government snowmobile from the back of the government truck, slog through the snow for hours upon hours and then load the snow machine back on the truck.
I had done this MANY TIMES.
Then one day, I wrecked two government vehicles in one shot.
I was loading the snowmobile onto the bed of the truck—as I had done many times before—but instead of the sled sliding into the bed, it rocketed up the ramp and launched over the bed and across the top of the cab—putting a nice dent in the cab. Then the snowmobile flipped over…with me still on it.
I don’t know how, but I landed on my feet. And with the sled crashing down on my back, I somehow managed to jump out of the way.
From that day on, I swore I would never drive a snowmobile again…
…so for the next two weeks, I will most likely be on a snowmobile or worse yet, hiking with snowshoes...chasing cougars with Cougar Hunter.
Stay tuned…bad things are sure to happen.
