When I got home from work last night I noticed the rain during the day had melted the last of the snow in my yard. Then I wake up this morning and its white again. WTH?

Trust me, no stranger to WI. Grew up in Shell Lake WI, lived in the Hudson & Amery area until 2006 when we moved to the Duluth, MN for work. Will be back in WI this weekend again. Moving back to Shell Lake after retirement is one of the options on our list right now. Only 248 days to go! We...

We made the journey to GB for the draft. Busy but lots of fun. Not sure if I'd do it again but glad we did it this time. The crowd appreciated Clay Matthews opening statements "the Bears still suck" and Mark Murphy did a good job getting the crowd excited for the Packers first pick. I even had a...

Funny story, get to work today and checking accounts and see a charge for $357 that we don't recognize. Call bank and they say it looks suspicious based on where its from so they cancel it. Again, stay vigilant. there's shitty people out there that would rather steal than work.

When our daughter first moved to NYC we had to help with her deposit for her apartment and had to be the guarantor for her. So we sent them a check and about two days later had roughly $5K transferred out of our account. Luckily I’m sort of anal and check it daily so the bank could stop it so...

Got out for another ride on the north shore after last weeks snowstorm. And it may be sacrilege on this site but I really hope it’s the last one. Rode 90+ miles, mostly forest roads but some trails. Snow was good near Finland and along an area about 15 miles inland from Lake Superior. We got a...

Oh there will be no Viking gear worn by this family! Born and raised in WI, owner of the team, still on the list for tickets, and we get there at least once a year for a game. We've done the stadium tours, the Hall of Fame, and have spent way too much money in the pro shop! Love the Title Town...

Looks great. Looking forward to getting ours out of storage soon. First trip is 4/23-4/27 to Green Bay for the draft.

Yeah, I joke I'm not getting any younger and the hills in Duluth aren't getting getting any shorter so something had to give! My other mtn bike is a Scott Spark 945 and I have an Advocate Watchman fat bike. I love to ride the Spark also but the fat bike I've never gotten to attached to.

Yep, gotta keep it charged but the motor in this bike is unique motor so riding it with a dead battery doesn't add any drag like other e-bikes do.

Yes, its a Trek Fuel EXE. Its considered a mid power pedal assist bike. Smaller battery, smaller motor. They say range should be about 25 miles depending on power mode you use, how much climbing you do, etc... Most of my rides are under 15 miles so should be fine.

Not a sled but really looking forward to it. Told myself I'd get another new bike at 55 and then a e bike at 60. Well, I never got the one at 55 so I compromised and got this one at 57 1/2.

Just saw one last Sunday just north of my cabin while riding. They are fun to see and this one was huge!

Some of the larger chassis we mount equipment on, like a Pete 320 cab forward, had two front axles that both were steer axles. So not Crab Steering but they had a pretty tight steering radius for a 5 axle 80,000 lb truck.

I agree 100%. I'll be 58 when we call it quits and I can tell I'm going to need to spend more time on the bike this summer to get back into the shape I was 2-3 yrs ago. Last summer with selling the house and moving I just didn't have time. But I know some of the things I really want to do I...
