    Covid

    Study shows zero benefit for getting the shot after having covid for the delta variant. Note on the chart below where previous infection with/out shots and shots only fall. That's correct, previous infection reduced the "hazard" rate the most and was indistinguishable between shots or not if one...

    Klim or Castle heated gloves

    https://gearscanada.com/collections/powersport-heated-clothing/products/gen-x4-heated-glove-liners I run these or the previous version (have to look if mine are G3 or G4). All day heat, no batteries, no weak output after a couple hours. I don't use the heated grips when these are on unless it's...

    Heated gloves?

    I run the same stuff and like it a lot. Battery gear never lasted for me even with extra batteries along. If you are going out for a couple hours, the battery stuff should suffice, if you are out there for longer, the 12v stuff really shines. Especially nice on very long day when you can just...

    Ad's are Taking Over

    If you click on either forecast graphic, they open in a zoomed-in view with no ads. Otherwise, yeah, kind of makes the graphic/forecast fairly useless unfortunately.

    BV2S or Modular 3

    I like my Mod 3 (have had Mod 1, 2 and 3). They run small. The flip-up front is convenient for gas stations, short breaks and what not. It can also be a bit of a pain with a little ice build up or other making it harder to latch well. The breath box will ice up on you, just something to be aware...

    solar and geomagnetic activity impact on climate

    John - your opinion on this study - any obvious red flags a lay person would miss? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364682621001905 The main conclusion: despite continuous CO2 increase in the Earth's atmosphere long-term variations of thermospheric parameters are controlled...

    Great Lake levels vs precipitation

    John - Why do we see the levels of the Great Lakes fluctuate over time yet precipitation measurements do not correlate to those cycles? Or do they and I'm just not using my data correctly? I would think that rain/snow amounts would directly impact water height of Superior or Huron, but that...

    LEGAL off trail riding

    Hopefully third time is the charm. 1. Please direct me to an Ottawa National Forest Map that shows cross country over-snow riding opportunities. A link will suffice. 2. My acreage calculations are based on USFS GIS data that I have, provided to me from the USFS. The numbers you are referring...

    LEGAL off trail riding

    To further explain, here's the Ottawa National Forest broken out by management areas with the snow trail overlaid on top. This does not show all of the non-national forest areas (ie private) within the boundary and is intended to show where restrictions are in place. Green has the least...

    Proper Sled Hauling Technique

    Guess WI is cracking down on those hauling sleds on their car roof. https://kstp.com/minnesota-news/car-with-snowmobile-on-roof-stopped-in-Wisconsin/5913817/

    Little Girl

    Recent news article indicated La Nina forming over the Pacific, which means surface temps are cooler and could mean colder and snow for us, according to the article. Any thoughts on it (chance of it happening and chance of it's impact to us)? There is so much you can't believe on the news...

    Solar panels. Thinking about adding them to my yard??

    Just put in a ground mount off-grid setup to power a dewatering system on one of our fields. The technology certainly continues to improve and some parts of the cost are decreasing as well. Tax credit is decreasing, but ~25% is still better than a kick in the leg. That includes all of the setup...

    Not the first time masks failed to do anything of value in the face of a virus: You'll see that no mask and yes mask had same swing, just like MI did when they forced a mask. In this example, the "must mask" even has an upswing that the "no mask" did not. Excerpt from: Kellogg, Wilfred H...

    And you can see in the attached graph, using the data from State of MI website, when the Gov issues mask mandates and how that affected positive infections (hint, no correlation between wearing masks and rate of positive infections).

    New google forecasting model

    Place to unload in Newberry?

    That's the spot. I believe the phrase is "On this trail there is no center line but the right side is mine", but I'm probably getting it wrong. TASA's meeting minutes say the display was put up in 2000. I recall it back then, wasn't sure how much longer it had been up before then as that was...
