Did you go to the military aircraft museum nearby? Cool little place that is laid back and some of the volunteers even flew some of the planes.

We have 3-4 LINQ packs and love them (even on 1 Polaris) Like everything power sports related they are overpriced. The posts above are great ideas.

I love the beaches in the Destin area, sand is white!

Polaris is the same as Doo right now with the 650 being close to the same price as the 850's. my wife really wanted a 650 but decided to try a 850 out. Good deals right now, we got about $5100 off a XC850 with two years of warranty. I tried for a month or more negotiating on slightly used on...

I like those areas now, but know people that have homes in those areas and they say it's getting less desirable every year, especially Minocqua. I can only imagine what it will be like in the next 20-25 years when it's my time!

UP with a small house on at least 5 acres in a area within 20 min of one of the bigger cities. Besides things that make me money I'm somewhat of a minimalist, so I do not need much of a house. This is also pending on Michigan not getting to out of whack politically. I Also want it to be in a...

Last purchase I looked into getting an F150 max tow. Pricing them I found out for not much more I could get a Duramax HD with comparable options. Ford sure is proud of their F150's

They sure do. Crazy how it will upshift a few times on hills pulling 14k where my gas trucks are in one low gear screaming!

I think mine was even worse towing north with my enclosed. I remember one time towing in negative 20 and only getting 5-6 mpg. I'm also a bit disappointed with the mileage of my 2022 Duramax towing, usually 11.5-12 if I keep it under 80, go over 80 and it's in the 9's

I had a F150 with a 10 speed for 6 months while another truck was at a body shop, I thought that it was decent but would take the newer ZF 8 speed out of a Ram over the Ford 10 speed. The ZF is the first transmission in a half ton that has really impressed me. The rest of the ram 1500 fall short...

I would try to stick to a half ton. HD gas trucks are too thirsty IMO. The only time they get decent MPG is if conditions are optimal. I had a 6.4 2500 mileage was great as long as you were on a highway in nice weather. Add in cold weather, driving into the wind, stop and go traffic or pulling a...

Adrian Steel, Weatherguard ,Knapheide and Reading are all good brands. Websites like Elitetruck.com is a good one to look at and price check against a local company. Not sure if you are budgeting new or used but a quick Marketplace search has a ton of hits, especially if you are close to a big...

If you're in any kind of business you should be setting yourself up for some slow times. The PPP loan deal still makes me want to puke thinking about some of the people that received money.

I see nice used Adrian Steel and Weatherguard units on Marketplace and Craigslist all the time, both are good brands. The GM cargo vans have been the same for years so plenty of them on the used market. New prices are crazy. The steel units can drive some people crazy from the noise so some...

last weekend we were in a small college town on a Sunday for a swim meet. I went to a chain sandwich shop to get the kids lunch. Two people were working and running behind, one of the employees kept apologizing to customers and said they were short staffed, The employees were both middle aged...
