This is a new one for me, never heard of this before. CORN SWEAT: You can see how much higher dew point values are in the Corn Belt and Great Lakes Region. It's because mature corn is releasing up to 4,000 gallons of water a day in to the air per acre. In Illinois alone, that's the...

The title is self-explanatory after you read the following. We just got back from some Summer Vacation in Northern Wisconsin. Mostly good times as vacation goes, always a few setbacks though. We stayed on Long Lake in Price County, just outside of Phillips. The first picture is our girl...

I thought I'd throw this one out there since were kinda slow on here during the summer. I'm not sure what's happening here but it's happening fast. Just a week ago these areas were green like the rest of the lawn. Same area from the opposite direction. Of course, this would have to be in our...

When your Brakes just aren't enough... Things are lookin up. I'm over my head cold, my sleeping pattern has returned to normal, and my dog and wife no longer see me as a stranger. They came out with the numbers today for the EAA. They are as follows; Record Attendance 686,000 Visitors and...

OK, here we go with my last entry on the subject matter. Stick a Fork in me because I am Done! I kinda compare it to when we look forward to a winter trip with the sleds. You anticipate, then you participate, and then you recuperate. That's the way I feel. Glad to have done it, glad to be home...

A little bit under the weather today but I managed to soldier on. It's no wonder I caught a bug considering all the people I've been in contact with this past week. Today, we'll focus more on the pictures and less of the commentary. Let's start with the food. There's a large number of vendors...

Man, I hope I'm not coming down with a cold. My throat and nasal have been scratchy today, it'll be hard to keep up this schedule with a bug hanging around. It's been dusty at the airport in recent days and I'm hoping that's the cause. Nearly everyone I know has seen the series, "Band of...

We probably set an Attendance Record today. We won't know the numbers until next week, but it sure looked and felt like a record crowd. Wednesday's are a busy day anyway due to the afternoon air show, nighttime show, and then fireworks. There were times the staff was overwhelmed and by the time...

We woke up to Rain Showers in this part of Wisconsin this morning, but they should be ending by noon. My only day off this week so I'm playing catchup around the homestead today. If I had to pick my favorite area of the show, it'd be the Warbirds. I wish I could spend more time there. The...

Day One of E.A.A. is in the books for me. My shift started at 6 a.m. and I've never been a "morning person" but the payoff is we're done by early afternoon and have the rest of the day to do as we please. I guess to start things off, we had a crash today when a small plane came in way short of...

A guy walks into a crowded bar with a pistol and says, "I've got seven rounds in the clip and one in the chamber, now who's been sleeping with my wife?" There's total silence, not a whisper and after a long pause a voice in the back of the room says, "I think he's gonna need more bullets."

This appears to be the place to go to fix toilets and oil leaks, so I thought I'd join the fray with my latest challenge. I have a Generac 3100 Pressure Washer. It's great little machine, always starts, plenty of pressure, etc. Fired it up this morning and found that it wouldn't draw soap from...

Let's be careful out there.

Former Green Bay Packer, Randall Cobb and his family survived a house fire that engulfed the veteran wide receiver's Nashville home, his wife revealed on social media. Aiyda Cobb noted in an Instagram story recapping the incident that their Tesla charger that was inside their garage caught fire...
