it's touched upon a little here http://www.totallyamaha.net/forums/showthread.php?t=81279 but figured i'd make a thread just for the subject.
besides the work around the house and honeydo's most of us have, for me it's getting some of my cars out of storage and doing some work on em and some rodruns and cruisenights. some boating and fishing with the family. got some resto jobs i need to complete. and hopefully later in the summer do some changes on the sleds

how about everyone else
 
Well... besides the honeydo... I recently acquired 5 acres next to my parents place outside of Ely, MN and also located a free trailer to pull onto it to use as a hunting and snowmobiling shack (eventually I'll build a cabin, but the trailer will work for now). SO I'll be spending the summer getting it ready. I need to put in a road, and drag the trailer from it's current spot, my dad was using it as a warming shack about 2 miles away for deer hunting (he no longer hunts, says he's too old). Also, my brother & I are going to start restoring the Sauna at our parents place, it needs a new floor, roof and a couple bottom logs facing the lake have rotted pretty bad. I don't know if we'll get the sauna done this summer, but we'll get a new roof on soon.
 
Well I am a locator for Miss Dig so work,work,work and then some more work! I did stumble upon a 2001 Mtn Maxx 700 last week off the beaten path and the guy was suprised that he hadnt sold it out of his front yard yet. Was asking 1500, went back in my personal truck and bought it for 900! 6000 miles in pretty decent shape.
 
trying to get a new job...... i am currently working with the national gaurd full time and will be done in september. so the past few months have been filled with interviews, tests and more interviews..... aside from that, camp with the family, and dreaming of snow!!
