(AP) - Check your local forecast for clear skies. A solar storm forecast for Thursday is expected to give skygazers a chance to glimpse the Northern Lights, the colorful sky show that happens when solar wind hits the atmosphere. The University of Alaska at Fairbanks has forecast auroral...

Jeez Louise! I'm gone for a week and the place falls apart. Yamaha calls it quits, Coke in the White House, and a strong El Nino is brewing. I think I got back just in time. I'm not gonna lie, one of the highlights of my vacation in northern Wisconsin was visiting the Snowmobile Hall of Fame...

If a visit to the Hall of Fame is not on your Bucket List, it should be. This was my second visit and again, it was not a disappointment. It's larger, maybe twice the size of my previous visit and with so many machines from the past, they have to rotate them in and out to get a fair showing. If...

We're taking a break from what little I do around here and head out for a cabin rental that we were lucky to snag over the 4th. Hoping to beat the traffic by leaving in the middle of the week, a three hour drive will put us smack dab in the middle of Northern Wisconsin. My wife took this picture...

When was the last time you checked the Lug Nuts on your trailer? I'm embarrassed to say that I never check them. Until today. Long story made short here, I'm helping my daughter move across town to a new home. The big stuff goes in a moving van, the small stuff, I've been hauling with my...

About a month ago I asked for advice in using Marketplace for the first time. I was in the process of listing my 2018 Yamaha Waverunner. We didn't use it enough and I'm always looking for more space in the garage, so down the road she goes. The following are my experiences; 1. It doesn't cost...

An old Pilot sat down in Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, ‘Are you a real pilot?’ He replied, ‘Well, I’ve spent my whole life flying Biplanes, Cubs, Crop Dusters, I even flew in WWII in a...

Without naming the movie what is one quote that should give it away. If you can identify the movie then you have the opportunity to post one of your own. "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat"

This is what's left of my Cell Phone. Would you believe this is the second time this has happened to me. I've been having issues with this phone's battery and replaced it with a new phone yesterday. Before discarding the old phone I removed the battery as not to put it in a landfill. After...

I was slowed down behind one of these today. Our part of Wisconsin is just waking up after the long winter. People to the south have been in the fields for some time already. So we're going to be seeing more of this at all hours of the day. When you come up on one of these monsters, give'm a...

THE ARK — After two weeks sailing upon the flood waters in the ark, Noah began to think that bringing the woodpeckers along may have been a bad idea. "Another hole?? Dang woodpeckers," growled Noah, patching a puncture in the ark's hull. "I'll feed you to the owls, you hear me?? Don't think I...
