    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I wanted the 590 but in 2015 the entire midwest had 2-3 units that dealers would not let go. My dealer had the 900 on display and gave it to me for less than a 590.

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I have a older Ranger 900. It is primarily utility for the yard. The downside(s) to a SxS in my opinion are: 1) it’s big. You can only go on ORV (Jeep) designated sized trails and forest roads here in Michigan. I thought I would take it to the UP to summer explore the snowmobile trails, but...

    Refrigerators

    Like tv’s & AC’s, there are only a couple manufacturers. All the brands are owned and produced by a few mfr’s overseas. GE was bought out about 10 years ago.

    Finally some real EV/Truck stats and...... WOW!!!

    You heard correct. Lithium batteries can be damaged charging them when they are internally below 32 degrees (generally). My EV battery bank has an anti freeze heating/cooling system you should activate prior to driving off in sub 32 temps.

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    Lotsfire. My transponder expired during Covid and everything was shutdown. Finally getting hold of customer service and they gave me a new expiration date. Interesting about NY. I know their whole system is transponder with no booths. Over my career I had numerous deals come across my desk to...

    Snow Haters; Don't Click Here!

    In my offices over the years everyone would be moaning and groaning and then there was me. Snow just puts me in a good mood.

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    Interesting. I have had a ipass for 20 years and the current transponder says it is good till 2025. I haven’t been back there in many years but use it for NY when I go camping in the summers and most recently through Louisville. Guess I will need to close the account and buy one from NY.

    One of your memorable moments

    New years eve 78/79. 4am. Only two of us awake and the other guy was really hammered. Came out of the bathroom and saw he had fired up his sled. Suited up quickly to haul his a$$ back inside. He pinned it and was gone. Fired my sled up and chased his tail light across M28 and down the road maybe...

    One of your memorable moments

    Sometime after 2001 while I was riding solo out of Marquette (technically Harvey MI). The last day of my trip on a Friday the snow guns off Lake Superior began overnight. I decided to go to Big Bay and left at 7am. Once past M41 it was deep and kept getting deeper all the while it just kept...

    Let’s see your Caliber carbide slide setup in You in-line trailer

    I found that my carbides did a number on the piano hinge on the rear ramp. Consider old pieces of hyfax before and after the hinge to lift the ski above the hinge. They will wear down and cutting down one side of the “u” channel of the hyfax will give a slight angle of approach.
