"Timing is Everything". As we celebrate Memorial Day and honor those that have fallen, here comes a movie to remind us of that sacrifice.

I guess we each have are own tipping points. We just got back from Lowes and I cringe at the amount the misses spent on flowers for the garden. But it does give a guy leverage for when the snow flys. So, yeah....

In rememberance of our Fallen Men and Women of the U.S. Military Flag Etiquette The Flag should be raised to half-staff from sunrise until noon, then displayed at full staff from noon to sunset. Unofficially, the first weekend of Summer whereby 72 million Hot Dogs will be grilled, burned...

I was looking at the one with the carbs coming up out of the hood. Great looking sled but not very practical. Can you imagine all the crud that would get sucked in on the track and trail. Still, some great looking machines!

After 177 years, the beer that was once the best-selling in the world has been discontinued. Production of Schlitz, “the beer that made Milwaukee famous,” is coming to an end, Pabst has confirmed. In a statement to Milwaukee Magazine, Pabst said the decision to place Schlitz “on hiatus” came...

"What are the Odds" indeed. This is one of the things that separates you from the rest of us. Finding an obscure part from 50 years ago and giving it New Life! I'm guessing the UPS Driver must be a regular visitor around your place. 📦🚚 P.S. Your wife is wondering why all the good towels end up...

OSCEOLA, Wis. (WFRV) – One of the leading American manufacturers of powersports vehicles announced that its only Wisconsin facility is being closed. According to a letter sent to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Polaris announced that it is permanently closing its entire...

I'm reminded of a bit of irony since Skiroule joined us on this thread; Some manufacturers are telling us, "you got 10 years" before replacement parts are no longer available. Yet Kelly can find parts and components from 50 years ago for a brand that only existed for a few years. Either the...
