Old sled given new life!

Saturday I worked on my sled all day, installing a new seat cover and 7" handlebar risers.  Sunday I went sledding in the mountains of Maine with J and some friends.  Other then my seat falling off before we even left the parking lot (in my rush, I forgot to bolt it down :-) we had a fabulous day.  The conditions were near perfect and now that I can stand while riding, I can not only keep up with J, but even challenge him a bit.  Not bad for an old man.  Yesterday was also a satisfying day because the last time J was with these particular friends, he had a nasty fight with one of them.  I had encouraged J to reach out to my friend and yesterdays ride was a result of that effort. 

B sent me an email over the weekend telling me he had dropped his phone in the toilet.  It is a brand new phone and I think he had an expectation that we were going to replace it for him immediately.  Yeah, I don't think so.  He skyped  me last night, but I did not talk with him for very long because he was pissed that we said he would have to use his old phone for a while.  Tough love...

So I'm confused. When you say sled, I picture what we used when we were kids. Big plastic saucer sleds.

I'm assuming yours has a motor.
