Id like to someday, build my own sled, with all the bells and whistles,,, some lingo, is that pulling sleds, are sometimes called "Boats" and Ive seen some yachts out there! But thats my idea of a boat. Maybe yours is to go out on the water. if thats your thing, then the shoe fits, wear it! I think thats cool. I cant swim well, so Im a dry land kinda person. Ive been out on the coasts, and seen some beautiful scenes in the sunset, big ol ships going somewhere. I had a schedule to keep driving a W-900 KW with a 48ft flatbed inbetween the lines. I sometimes got there a bit late, but I got there, and in one piece, each and everytime. Lucky, I guess to be lucky to make it home whenever I got the chance. During that time, I had alot of time to think about where Im going, I know where Ive been, but where do I wanna go? Well, I want to go pulling. These days, I cant travel far away from home, just too much on the plate to take the time we used to. So local clubs is all I have, and no winter time events to go to. And yes, it can drive a puller crazy. But, Ive had time to think,, I know the direction i am aiming for, and thats to drag our sled's weight box as far up the rails as I possibly can, till it dont go no more, and thats a full pull in NCIATPA. In 15+ years, over half my life in pulling, I have yet to trip the full pull light on that sled. Thats my goal, my act, or my game. Call it crazy, call it what you want. Just load up and come to pull on that sled, it does pull very well! 2 hooks for 20 bucks, for members, 4 or 6 hooks max,,, You get the chance to meet some really good people!! Pullers, Ive known for years, and know, that they are some of the best in the area, and this club covers alot of ground! If you have pulled out on the winter circuits, you may have seen them. They may have went home with your entry fee. Ive seen em do it. HAHAHA! Its even more fun to try and win it back the next week. If you think its an act, then yes, I am just playing my part, this is a sport, a game, something to do. So if you want to go out on the water, and miss all the excitement, then have fun. Thats something to do as well!
