.................................................
My world snow machine have come long since Artic Cat P10 & Artic Cat 295 back in early 70's.

Yes, they are not worlds apart they are galaxies apart.

The first sled my dad bought was a 1970 Arctic Cat Puma. I could use that sled for traction now.:laughing:
There is certainly good and bad to having such a capable machine. I can get myself into situations that are downright scary, and yes I have been there. The good is, no matter how deep and powdery the snow is, I can still go about anywhere. The best part and what I tell my friends who do not ride; there is no dust and no bugs! :laughing:

Hang in there sodamo,

You live in paradise. I have been to Hawaii many times and love it more every time. Back in 79 I worked for Dole picking/planting Pineapples on Lanai. The work kind of sucked but the beaches and fun made it worth it.

47°F and partly cloudy this morning. It warmed a bit to 51°, and now is cooling again at 46°, dropping all day down to the 30s tonight. Yesterday there was snow in the forecast for Sunday, but today it's gone.

Termite damage repairs are now complete, and The Wife finished painting in the kitchen and bathroom yesterday. Electrician is there today to finish the recess lighting, ceiling fans, switches, and outlets. Going to all LED lighting now.

Don, need to know the playback frame rate to answer your question.

30 fps, is the best answer I could find.

Speaking of cows;
I redid my cow feeder to get them out of the barn. So now their heads are in the barn while eating, but they stand outside. WOW, I did not anticipate the mud and standing muck! I will pour some concrete this summer for them to stand on while eating.

Concrete is nice. But I'd need at least a 55x55 foot pad. Not in the budget yet. That's just for 2 hay rings I like to use 3-4. Not even counting the pathways to water and mineral or the barn.

41 high of 64 later almost spring like but the cold returns this weekend. Nothing brutal just normal cold and could be a surprise snow for WVA Va Md and Pa. A couple of inches if it happens

Hope you are wrong for MD. Gotta pick up the new toy this weekend.

Duration of the trip:
1 hour/4 miles x 3 miles = .75 hour
.75 hour x 60 minutes/hour = 45 minutes
45 minutes x 60 seconds/minute = 2700 seconds

Number of frames captured during trip:
2700 seconds x 1 frame/8 seconds = 337.5 frames

Time to play back frames captured at 30 frames per second:
337.5 frames x 1 second/30 frames = 11.25 seconds

You might want to increase the frame rate during the time lapse capture. For example, 1 frame/second (2700 frames) would provide 90 seconds of video.

Cat and Farmer, how about those heavy rubber mats they use in horse stalls?
at least you can hose those off. Or do you clean some other way?


glorious 71 degrees out, spent good part of it working outside, and finally did the crummy job I've been putting off and powerwashed the front of the house. Bugs and green, bugs and green. Now here I am in shorts powerwashing mold when I should be out on a snowmobile blasting through fresh powder. Seems a bunch of us did that in the 70's but the snow seemed to go away. I pulled the sled up to a friend's mountain cabin in the Catskills and we used to have a ball zooming over neighbor's mountainside fields. Back then I had a burgundy Yamaha sled, whatever their largest and most comfortable was, looked like a burgundy Cadillac, not meant for speed at all... and the amazing option back then was hand warmers. Now you probably can get a massaging seat. Two stroke but always ran beautifully. Finally sold it in early 80's because never got to use it.

Then I got a 1988 Honda Foreman 4wd to replace the sled. Much more useful but could not handle deep snow at all. My back and neck finally got so bad that I gave the ATV to my friends to keep at their cabin, and they got a nice new shed to put it in. Where it still sits running perfectly and looking almost like new. Which leaves me with my current Kubota 400 gas UTV, which I can't imagine living without.
Well, maybe once I get to the CCC they may take it away from me...
I should be able to keep the golf cart. Perhaps I could the motors rewound, little more jump off the line to give
my fellow geezers a thrill.

David, that's a lot of rain, or at seven inches of snow per inch, you could be shoveling and shoveling and shoveling
Your way is better, and the rainbows...

39 and raining here. Really a funny rain, very small drops, but you get wet quick if you go outside. I got the new dishwasher installed, not too hard, but my knees aren't used to that kinda work.
I see most guy with cows around here have concrete feeding areas. Right now, everything is muddy here, and just a bit above freezing. Bad combination for any animal or human.
