Storage issue resolved plus indoor slip with hoist at Hidden Harbor, Winneconne. I used to have a 23 SeaRay but happily downsized years ago. One boat hibernates on hoist over winter.

Yes, model is 183 but centerline length was closer to 17'. I guess the 18 was rounded up & 3 for trihull, so 183. 183B was bowrider and there was a 183R for closed bow (not too common). I actually had Bob & Carol Switzer out in that boat a few months after I bought it. Bob was driving, Carol was...

'74 Switzer 17' 183B, MerCruiser 140. I bought it in 2004. Technically it is now my kid's but it's in my shed & I use it. Go figure. That picture is at Izzy's in Berlin. '71 AlumaCraft 12' with 7.5 Mercury. Bought it in '20 from Rawhide. Typically I use it for backwater & shallow exploration...

There are 2 different blue boats pictured. Both parked at Captains Cove in Winneconne. The 1st one, pointing away is a '69 Shell Lake 17' Balboa with 155 HP OMC drive. I bought it in 2003. 2nd one, pointing to the right is a '66 Shell Lake 15' Calypso with a 90 HP 2 stroke OMC drive. I bought...

3 classics

My yard is all "detailed" & ready to green up. Don't want heavy snow here.

And for what it's worth, we used to turn the clocks in April & October. That's been every bit of 20 years ago. So back then we extended DST?

Keep DST or go year around DST, I don't care. But no Standard time year around. I like the late evenings in summer. But for those of you too young to remember when it was done in 1974 as a way to potentially save electricity useage, it was discontinued because kids were on their way to school...

325 over 4 days riding from home, Waushara County & surrounding.

Never rode east of the Wolf River. Better put the sled away & get boat ready.

And having 4 days off worked out perfect.

Today I got an early start at 9:00. My intention was Breakfast at the Parkside in Winneconne. About -6 degrees at departure. For what it's worth, it's about 1 mile of shoulder, powerline & road route combined to catch the trail. Quick & easy. On the trail east, no issues and conditions still...

Thinnest snow I saw was Hancock to Plainfield & in Wautoma area. I think you'll be OK especially into Waupaca County.

Today's ride recap; Leaving home south towards Pearl Lake area but taking the trail west between Blackhawk & Brown Deer roads. The trail winds along thru lots of woods until it comes out in more open farm fields as it enters Mount Morris township just west of 24th Rd. Shortly after (west of)...

I'm thinking of heading west/SW maybe Wautoma & Plainfield tomorrow but that isn't for certain. I'd think best east of 39 & north of 21.
