I will be interesting how the lake levels come up with no spring snow melt to help out, normally there would be feet of snow in the woods yet to melt. Here is hoping for April Showers for May Flowers & walleyes.

It is always a sad day when both the community of MW and the snowmobile community lose a business. Been going there for years and the years of The Trails End. Hopefully they have enough money to rebuild and once again you can sit at the bar and watch the dear in the yard.

OK, I am intrigued. Could this be the what I am guessing is like a garage epoxy but more refined like you would have in a basement? Could be called Liquid Linoleum.

Steve Dahl used to do a spoof weather guy and called him Tommy Skillet Head modeled off of Tom Skilling's mannerisms. Sure Tom Skilling is quirky but he was always the one guy on TV I would trust.

I installed the Chamberlain belt drive for my daughter, nice and quiet and about $180. It included the MyQ WiFi connection and app which does come in handy because you can tell the status of the door (open/close) or let in contractors if you are so inclined without having to provide keypad...

You surprised me, I did not envision the ridge line moving 90 degrees, that is a nice design element.

I feel for you hauling up all that OSB by yourself. Good job on the scaffolding you built for the house side.

Sounds like a nice idea until the new mandated monitoring systems are required in all new cars in 2026 which will disable your vehicle if it determines you are impaired. Big Bother and Big Tech will let you know if it is OK to drive your care, and I am sure we will pay dearly for the privilege.

I remember the $5.95 all you can eat fish fry at the Wilderness in Winchester, but that was 25 years ago. Sadly both are long gone. I would be curious on the pricing. Not that I really do all you can eat anymore, just do not eat like a 25 year old after riding all day anymore. For me the all you...

Is it this little fellow? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_tent_caterpillar_moth They come in cycles like the Cicadas. I recall them coming through the the PI area about a decade ago and they just desimated the Poplars canopy. Reminded me of fall in the middle of summer with all 1/2 eaten...

Isn't Lutsen owned by the same guy/Charles Skinner that bought Indianhead and shut down the trail? He did not seem snowmobile friendly after that acquisition.

I hate to watch those over dubbed movies, like watching bad 1970's Kung Foo movies. Seems like they must have a big production company in Spain because to me it seems that a lot of those overdubbed with "Spainish" overtones or spellings on signage and police cars. They are a production company...

Yeah Ticketmaster/Live Nation is getting in the snowmobile sales. You will soon have the opportunity to buy one for 4 times MSRP plus a crap load of unnecessary fees.

They are accused but not convicted yet, innocent until proven guilty. The LT did not blow, he preserved his 5th amendment right against self incrimination which will make things more difficult to get a conviction on smell and glassy eyes. You can assume since his buddy blew a .14 but there is a...

Sad to see another spot close down on that loop of PI-Winchester-Mani-BJ. Like a trail of tombstones Skyview, Birch Lake, Bear Bar, Chicago Pub, Wilderness, Boulder Beer Bar & Georges.
