It was.

I can today clearly feel exactly which muscles get used in snowmobiling!
It's not terrible; I keep myself in decent condition.
But definitely I can feel the usage.

Get up some more pictures, doesnt look like much snow, wait until you get a beast buried in 4+feet of snow, talk about a workout.

Those are the only two pics Mike took. No the snow wasn't terrible.
a) I went to just have some fun, not to experience an extreme ordeal to tell the grandkids how I miraculously survived. Not everything has to be as hard as possible, dude.
b) Especially since the last time I was on a snowmobile was about when you were born. A gentle re-entry was a good idea.

Way to accessorize with the color of those snowmobiles.

Have they extended your stay beyond next month?

Don't know yet. The customer is still happy with me. But there are rumors that the budget item for our group expires mid-Feb, so who knows? A corporate guy from the group is supposed to be here this week, so I'll (presumably) know more in a few days.

Haven't got a good project back in CA yet. May have a lead on something good in NC. Magic 8-Ball says "Answer hazy, ask again later".

I never said it had to be, I merely stated that when you get a true workout on those is when you get stuck, now Go Change out of your Grumpy pants.
