Test Run on South Trail with Both Winter Freighting Sleighs Feb 21 2024

strange day with the wood stove burning hot and out of control so it smelled up the shop. i then worked outside on the plywood windshields for the Twins TD-9 IH cats and the td-6 IH known as Lavern. then the staff arrived so we could test out the re-opened cat train trails. the first book in my 10 book winter roads series "My Struggles" is on for being free as an ebook on amazon from February 21-25 2024. please enjoy with book link below. thansk

I’m really impressed by how well your sleighs steer obediently along the twisty-turny narrow tree lined trail. And how your sleighs don’t get caught up on a tree blows my mind away. You really know how to drive those cats on the trails like needling a thread.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

the self steering sleighs is a 120 year old design that worked well for the horses and up graded to the cats. thansk

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

Great video ! Love the sound of the old cat & Them old sleighs that only you pull now :) Good to see a couple still being pulled around !

Classy act from “glove Santa”!! Thanks for helping keep them warm. Nice idea for filming off sleigh’s, different view👍. Just realized in this video, how chain arrangement rear steers sleigh. Very clever. Warm wishes from Yuma

[@kingofobsolete4789]

your welcome thansk

[@waynegouin939]

Hi Joey. An Old Man and His Cats, listen to them purr! Thanks for all the videos. P.S. You should consider building Xena a small greenhouse. She deserves it. And it would be some interesting content. She has a green thumb.✌️ It's just a thought. She's such a a fine young woman.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, they have tried green houses up here even with a government grant they don't work when we only get 5 hot days of summer, lol thansk

[@929cbr_rr]

I bet Princess Xena is a favorite among the kids at school. She is obviously kind and no doubt creates a positive impression on the little learnin' critters.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

i think so because she is one of them being from here not a teacher brought in from the outside world, lol thansk

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 Traitor Joe's, that's funny 🤣 In reality, not so much. Okay on to the festivities. The box of gloves was a great gift from a wonderful Kingdom follower. You guys did a wonderful job in filming this relaxing trip to wilderness Alaska, I mean northern Manitoba 😉 the cat sounds really good pulling the sleighs. Question for you Joey, when and where did you find the Linn tractors? Keep up the great work guys and your awesome content Xena 👍✌️🇺🇲

[@kingofobsolete4789]

i have never heard of the trader joe store or knew they had products with their name on them. the linns were bought locally here because they were going for scrap. i saved them and got them up and going thansk

[@Vdood]

Please explain the purpose of the ATCO trailer in the Kingdom.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

that atco trailer off in the distance came in on a rail car when the rail line was operating. it has been sitting by the loading ramp since 2001. not much left of it. thansk

I’ll bet when old Santa needs a sleigh he comes to the king Joey and Xena

[@kingofobsolete4789]

hope so because we will be first on his list to stop so his sleigh will be fully loaded. thansk

[@929cbr_rr]

I have to admit I'm surprised at how skinny the runners are under the sleds. But I guess as long as they are, even being narrow, there is a lot of load bearing area.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

the whole idea of the Skinny Skis is to make compression of the snow that makes ice. ice makes the sleighs slide right along. thansk

[@budl4656]

All most like a parade should have drove by dairyqueen and waved Xena nice gifts the gloves will be nice very nice video U 2

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes but to cruise dairy queen we will need more sleighs. yes nice gloves and will be enjoyed. thansk
