    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    Jan 5, 2013. Some colleagues at work that were snowmobilers told me about the site. March of 2013 we went up the the UP and I rented a Cat from Pat's in Ontonagon. I also made a deal with Pat to buy my 1973 Panther 340. That was an awesome sled.

    12/4

    A very quick 1/2" here in northeast Green Bay. We had whiteout conditions for about 10 minutes; very cool to see! At least everything is white.

    Vintage Trivia; Page 2

    Not to split hairs but most sleds had independent front suspension from the get go (1960's); each ski had it's own leaf spring and later, most manufacturers added a shock on each ski Some early manufacturers had one leaf spring mounted to a single spindle with each end connected to a ski...

    Thank you, gratitude and appreciation!

    I also appreciate the hours of work done by the various people that keep this site going. Prior to my retirement 3.5 years ago, I was a daily visitor to this site, but now, I only visit once or twice a week. Go figure! It still is part of my routine and I look forward to browsing the forum...

    A few big changes... Look at what followed me home... and where it will be staying...

    Wow! Very nice. A garage/shop/shed is almost more important to me than a house. Very nice size that hopefully you won't outgrow too soon. 'No one ever said; I wish I had a smaller garage.'

    When is best time to run a dehumidifier?

    I set my basement dehumidifier to 55% humidity and leave it on auto. It cycles on and off based on the humidity in the basement. When the central AC runs, the dehumidifier runs less. I may be wrong on this but I think most residential power charges are at a fixed rate. The power meter only...

    An Antique Farmall

    Mine is a 1953 IH FARMALL Super H. Purchased in Appleton, WI at a yard sale about 10 years ago. My grandfather had purchased a new IH FARMALL H in about 1946 for his farm just west of Sturgeon Bay.

    Its Official.......Trails will not OPEN this year in Oneida County..(..for the first time ever)

    And also for the first time ever, the trails in Brown County, WI were open for a week longer (Jan 15-22) that Oneida County, WI!!! For most of the last 10 years, trails in Brown County rarely opened at all even though, IMO, they could have.

    Grooming history

    When going round and round in our 1.5 acre back yard in the 1970s, it would get rough after a few hours. My dad had a spike tooth cultivator for field work. We removed the spikes and dragged the cultivator frame around behind the Johnson Skee-Horse. This worked quite well.

    Lake Thunder

    I was in Eagle River over the weekend and was visiting my son (he rented a cabin on Sunset Lake) and I heard was sounded like rock music coming from the north shore of the lake. We walked down to the shore and the noise was coming from what sounded like underneath the ice. There is about 8-10"...
