    Black Friday Aerial View

    What does that say about me when I remember both Cabbage Patch Dolls and KMart?!? I am getting old. At the KMart here in Green Bay, it was always a Blue Light Special but maybe your wife's store burned out their blue bulb! Hope your wife didn't get injured grabbing that doll.

    Black Friday Aerial View

    I tried Black Friday shopping once about 15 years ago. I was in Walmart East in Green Bay and I was having a hard time just getting out of the store because of the crowds. That was the last time I went shopping on Black Friday!

    Flurries to light snow on and off here in northeast Green Bay. Roads are only wet but a little stuck on the grass and phragmites but that's it as of 5pm. The local news crews are all out on the roads doing 'storm' reports all day long. :eek::ROFLMAO: They even commented on how the snow clings...

    My First Snowmobile was a .....

    Your description of the speed of the Skee-Horse brings back some memories. My dad bought a wooden sled with wooden water skis to pull behind the 1967 Skee-Horse. My dad and one of my brothers would be on the Skee-Horse, my mom. sister and other brother would be in the sled and I, being the...

    My First Snowmobile was a .....

    1971 Ski-Doo Nordic 399. Tough sled and the ride was also tough and rough with only about 2" of travel. Next I bough a 1973 Artic Cat Panther 340 with the Kawasaki engine. The Cat was a huge upgrade over the Nordic. What I really grew up on were my dad's sleds; 1967 Johnson Skee Horse with a...

    There were photos posted from all over northeast Wisco showing a trace to 2" this morning. Areas near the Bay and Lake Michigan only got rain. In December, it will probably be 60 degrees!

    When It's Time to say Goodbye

    My daughter's dog, Toby will be 10 years old this December. My daughter and I have discussed how we will deal with his passing in the future. The following may help us deal with that time: A Dog's Prayer Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for...

    Anybody get new tires and installation at walmart?

    I would suggest Pomp's. They are more expensive than the other chains but very professional. Tires are their business and they sell a lot of them so they get good factory deals. They have full alignment services. They are also located all over the Midwest. They were founded in Green Bay by...

    Weather propagandist

    I saw them predicting the higher than normal temps for August. At that time I was hoping it wouldn't happen and it didn't. Very pleasant August weather so far. Keep in mind that normal temps are only a statistical normal. Actual temps are very likely to be + or - 10 degrees on either side of...

    Unlike Anything Else

    Totally agree! My dad was a private pilot and introduced the 'Fly In' to me in the 1980s. I have been there at least 5 times. Took my dad and my son there in 2007 (I think) when they brought in the Airbus A380. We stood next to it and felt like ants! It was HUGE. Warbirds show is fantastic.

    Take the Test. How Far Do you Get?

    Gary, I don't drink tequila, only bourbon and craft beer. I have gotten to the 'Time to call friends' a few times. Always feel good in the morning.

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    You are past the worst of it. As said above, ice/cold water will take care of the swelling/pain. Those ice water recirculating devices are the best because you won't get ice burns from them. They also distribute the coolness evenly. They use lots of ice, though, so buy about 2-3 bags of ice...

    Knee Replacement Surgery - Anyone?

    Mezz, my wife had her knee replaced last May. OSMS in Bellevue (Green Bay suburb) did it and I rarely recommend stuff but these guys know what they are doing. Saw a lot of Michigan plates in the parking lot too. They had her walking on it about 4 hours after the surgery! Days 2 and 3 were a...

    The New 2004 Yamaha's

    Wow, that vintage video made me laugh and brought back memories. Riding and working on, riding and working on.... My dad's 1968 Johnson Skee-Horse, 1971 Evinrude Skeeter, and my 1971 Ski Doo 399 Nordic and my 1973 Artic Cat 340 Panther. Never lost a tooth, though.

    How I Spent My Tuesday

    Gary, great narrative on the SWAT Team training. Thanks for posting this. RPH, just remember, most people appreciate and support law enforcement. Thanks to you and your kids for your dedication and service. My dad was a patrol officer and later on the beverage tax enforcement team for the...
