Editorial – 04/03/2024 – With a snow storm this past week, and two in the forecast for this week, today was all sunshine, clear roads and 50°F. It seemed a good day to bring Corrina home from dealer winter storage. I bought the bike at Reynolds Motorsports in Buxton, Maine. […]
I was planning on exchanging Skippy’s snowblower for a grapple a week ago. I am eager to get started cutting up trees that were blown over during this winter’s severe storms, and getting the range cleaned up. I also planned on picking up Corrina from the dealer’s winter storage. There […]
