Snowmobile Vocabulary.....

[Absledder]

Took me a while to realize skegs and carbides aren't the same thing (even though most use the terms interchangeably) skegs are just a plain old wear bar at the bottom of the ski, carbides are the same thing with a hardened steel cutting edge tacked on.

Technically carbides ARE that hardened steel cutting edge. Carbides are tacked to the skeg/skag. Skeg is something totally different in the ATV/Jeep world, and it SUCKS!!!

Including the two tier cooking pot, they are in the neighbour hood of $400. No cheap but is anything we buy for this sport cheap?

Wholesale Warehouse. They come in a large package (I'm thinking 100 at a crack) but it might be 50. Lids are separate. Took me a long time to find them. So coming from Golden, Calgary will be the closest and I don't have a clue where they would be located.

Just a minute, I can google that......I found mine in Lethbridge.

Hey Oler a Bluebird (here in the west its a Mountain Blue Bird) is a insectivore (eats primarily insects) with out getting to technical the insects they feed on are more active on warm sunny days which in turn increases the sightings of Blue Birds hence the saying Blue Bird day which can be shortened to just Bluebird

Bowel looks nothing like a Bowl ........................................just sayin.

 

[Keith Brown]

You will know when you see one their about the size of a small Robin. The males are real blue females not so blue. You will see them in the summer in the foothills. When you see a series of bird house on a fence line next to a road or highway away from any builds these are Blue Bird nesting boxes. They often perch on fence posts, they like to hunt that way.

Well it's less lame now. Don't think I have ever seen mountain bluebird, winter or summer.
