To all you men and women of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard -- past and present -- our heartfelt thanks. We remember and appreciate all you do and have done. Enjoy your day!

While at the Michigan Snowmobile Association convention last weekend in Traverse City, I picked up 10 raffle tickets to sell as a fundraiser. They are called "Daily 4 SNOWBUCKS" and here's how they work (copied and pasted from MSA's web site): We have a unique way to maybe win some money for...

My dad's summer place is a double-wide manufactured home and, I suspect, in need of a new roof. He just had it shingled 5 years ago and paid an exorbitant price, but there are several spots that feel pretty spongy. When it was done 5 years ago they just put on a second layer; no tear-off or...

My concern is the subjectivity in deciding what is a 90 degree turn and what isn't. I think we'd all agree that this is a 90 degree turn: But what about this? Why or why not? To me, although technically not a 90 degree turn, it IS a 90 degree change in direction and should be marked...

Best snow we've seen/ridden on Drummond in at least 3 or 4 years! I'd say Addy's experiences with snowmobiling are all positive and she loves it!

As we were traveling home from the Soo yesterday afternoon, we were passed by a black Chevy with a cap towing a black trailer with a large Think Snow sticker on the back. License plate was FMGSTOY. Who was it?! We pulled up along side so we could tell the make of truck and then backed off...

Car seat for an Equinox Snow Coach.... Can you help me out? We just bought a snow coach for Addy to ride in on the trails. We feel it will be nicer for her as well as safer in the long run. I have a spare car seat to use... but wondered if anyone could help me with some of the little details...

Imagine my surprise this morning when here in Detroit they reported on the new trail signage. According to this news article the main reason for new/less signs is "less clutter" on the trails...

I knew this day would come.....when I needed a few huffs of glorious 2-stroke exhaust I'd go out and fire up the sleds for a few minutes. Now they're gone, with two 4-strokers in their place and no matter how many times I fire them up the result just isn't the same. Can't even use the weed...

I don't currently own a 4-stroke, but I'm considering one in my next sled. So, I'm trying to learn as much as I can about them before I make a final decision. I've seen a variety of opinions on this over on DooTalk, so I've decided to put it to the experts here on JD. If you own a 4-stroke...

My wife and I will be in Munising for a couple days on our way to the J.D. Ride-in. We're thinking of taking a ride down to Big Spring to check it out. Can any of you who have been there tell me if it's worth the ride down there? Thanks.

Or sticks/branches, rolled up newspapers/magazines, lots of creative ideas for splints! While on the subject though, there is such a thing called a SAM splint. It is made of thin pliable metal (I'm assuming aluminum) covered with a layer of thin foam. It rolls up into roughly the size of a 15...

We're considering taking our granddaughter, Addy, on some trips with us this winter. We think she will really like the outdoors and the whole experience. She's not quite ready to ride in an open sleigh/coach so we are looking to borrow or rent an enclosed one. The folks in Traverse City at...

John, As I was standing around our bonfire at hunting camp this weekend, constantly moving to escape the smoke that the wind would blow every which way, I got to wondering.....what causes the wind to swirl or constantly change direction? I understand that terrain features (either natural or...

Currently have a 2002 Silverado 2500HD with the 6.0 liter gasoline engine. It gets horrible mileage and I'm somewhat disappointed with its towing ability. I have the opportunity to get a 2005 GMC Sierra 2500HD with the 6.6 Duramax turbo diesel. I've never owned a diesel, only used them at...

My wife of 6 days and I have been here since Monday, enjoying all the area has to offer. Although the warmup didn't help the trails any, we've still managed to get plenty of saddle time and have made the most of it. We now know exactly where all these places are that we've heard about here on...

Found on Trail 12 today around 5 p.m. just east of Greenland: 1 small nylon gear bag containing some equipment. If you can describe said bag and its contents, please contact me so you can re-claim it!

Russ suggested I post here and see what everyone's thoughts are on a bookkeeping program for my small business. I'd like to hear what other people think of the QuickBooks programs and how it works for them. Just so you know what kind of business it is, I own The Ladies Dressmaker and spend my...

Spotted in Sandusky, MI today.....extended hybrid trike, powered by both pedals and garage door opener motor! Eat your heart out, Indy. :D
