Well, ask the question and get a thousand answers. It's subject matter that has been discussed here from time to time and I thought since we're into the Off Season, it'd be a good time to discuss. The video runs about 16 minutes so maybe a beverage of your choice would be advised. (consumption...

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago on highway 41 at road speed. Trailer was empty and hitch disengaged like yours. Trailer dropped down on the chains and I was able to exit at the first chance with the trailer whipping back and forth. The only damage was one pair of shorts and some...

Moles or Voles? Two different animals. Moles: Primarily eat insects, grubs, and worms. They create raised tunnels (spiderweb pattern) and volcano-shaped soil mounds. Voles: Herbivores that eat roots, bulbs, and bark. They create shallow surface runways, do not typically make mounds, and leave...

Our neighbors spray for mosquitos but we don't. Apparently the skeeters don't recognize property lines so we don't have any either. Win-Win!

We're moving into Early Spring in some parts. How's your lawn look? Some of us care too much, while others hack it off with any means necessary. I'm somewhere in the middle. I like a nice lawn but not to the point of being down on my hands and knees looking for problems. Anyway.... Who pays for...

85 and Sunny in Dallas, Texas. Then came home to a cold, gloomy rain. (but the dog was glad to see us!)

...I bet I know what Kelly is thinking, "I could probably restore that, it'd be like 1973 all over again".

Yeah, in some places, I'm not saying where, they might find a body in the trunk but here in Sconny, just beer cans and a flat spare.;)

We have a local company called "Sunk, Dive, and Ice" which recovers vehicles that fall through the ice during the winter months. With Lake Winnebago and surrounding waterways close by, there's no shortage of business when the ice begins to melt. The following three links will tell the story that...

Everything changes with time and snowmobiling is no different. Technology, Trails, Clubs, all will be challenged. Coupled with urban sprawl, I wonder how long the clubs in low-snow areas will continue to function. There's a lot of competition for time and money and as the folks step away, will...

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol...

I didn't want to rain on your parade. Actually, it sounds like you WILL be in a parade. Just wanted to let you know that GoPro is more than just point and shoot. Kinda pricey too if you want to go all in. I forgot to mention that those Cams also take still photos. Lastly, I think you're one of...

If you're technically challenged like many of us I would recommend going with one of their basic models, fewer bells and whistles. Some of this stuff is just so far advanced that we/you would never use some of the features. Consider buying from a store i.e. Best Buy, etc. where they can give you...

Here's some video from a guy that may remind you of somebody. Could be a relative, a neighbor, or just a guy you work with. And if you watch enough of his vids, you'll say, " yup, been there, done that, tried that once". A little bit of humor, some common sense, and mechanical troubleshooting...
