The wife buys a copy of the book Exorcist. After reading the first few chapters she realizes the story is evil and throws it in the fireplace. The next day, the husband buys the exact same book, takes it to his shop and carefully chars the edges with his propane torch. That night before bedtime...

:p

Yup, happens almost every year about this time. We're flying out Thursday morning for Florida, so maybe you guys can get this mess cleaned up before we get back. ;)

Abe beat me to it. Have a pleasant day on this Easter Sunday!

I don't want to be harsh here, but I think you've got a niche market and need to price accordingly. I recall the name and some of the stunts but it was long enough ago that there will be limited interest from the general public. If he's known locally, I would target that area. If he's...

You're probably familiar with most brands but do you know where they originated?

North America's warmest winter on record put a chill on snowmobile sales at BRP Inc., which saw profits plummet last quarter as a result. "I have been in the business for a long time and saw several challenging seasons. But it's the first time that I've seen such difficult conditions," said CEO...

Excellent point regarding healthcare. Both my parents and in-laws were 2 hours from a hospital that could treat them. I recall Dad had at least one helicopter ride to the E.R. and a couple more in the ambulance. Otherwise they were on their own at all times of the day and night, good weather and...

I'm a little late to the party, hope there's some cake left. Happy Birthday, Abe!

During Prohibition (1920-1933), American moonshiners needed to dodge the police. So, they invented heifer-heels. These shoes made them resemble cows when moving through fields, preventing the cops from tracking their footprints.

Same here, I've had the exact same thoughts. It was such an unusual winter, weather-wise, after losing John....

50 years from now, one of Skiroule's descendants will be dragging one of these out of an old barn somewhere. A little paint, a little polish, and it'll look like new again!:)

Click on the link for the last year of the Yamaha Snowmobile models. The announcement came last June that they would be getting out of the snow business and that day has come. I never owned one of their snow machines, but I think their engines in other products I've owned are second to none...

Here's my two cents. Advice from my Dad years ago, "Do everything you can to pay off your mortgage early". And he was right, it's amazing how much money that frees up for things like a "place up north", toys, college, etc. The world has changed since he told me that. Today, most people you know...

I'm told our concerns will be passed on to the programmers to find a fix. Let's give it a day or two for improvements.

I'm quite sure that frost depth is measured from the surface down to where the frost/frozen ground ends. I also agree with others, we need the moisture and snow is probably a better form than rain. Either way, it looks like it's going to be a mess for a few days.

Wisconsin's Lake Winnebago, Ice Out on the last day of February.

Yeah, mine was put to bed for the summer weeks ago. C'est la vie until next year. On a side note, the ice was gone from Lake Winnebago on the last day of February. Any "old timer" will tell you that's never happened in modern times. 2024, a strange year thus far for weather, politics, and Lord...
