After vacationing and renting cabins for 30 years we bought our property in Manitowish Waters, WI in 2015. I was 58 years old at the time and had always wanted to buy on the chain of lakes that we live on but raising a family, job, etc. always seemed to get in the way. When we bought our place...

That would be actually nice to meet you and you are not that far away. We'll have to think about doing that sometime. I have plenty of fish in the freezer.

Congratulations Grandpa, looks like you have an awesome granddaughter, funny how life is the way it should be in the Northwoods.

You do the dishes and clean up, grab me an after dinner drink:)

Part of being a kid and growing up is dreaming that it's "Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded, a swing and drive, deep!, deep!, deep! it's gone!" or playing golf and you have a 10ft putt to win the US Open! Anyway, you get the drift...

Just got done with an awesome fish fry right here on Spider Lake at our house, perch and bluegill caught through the ice in March 2023, lightly battered and fried on the burner of my gas grill. Yes, very tasty and free! Well probably not free, because had to buy bait and get to the secret spot...

What a great time, back to the simple things in life, carry on!

Just got back from the White Oak Inn on Manitowish Lake, decided to go last minute, arrived at 6:30pm no reservations, were seated in 10 minutes, awesome fish fry, 1/2 lb haddock, all the sides for $16. Generous pour of wine, highly recommend.

Good people, great place.

I don't mind paying for services but I hate getting taken to the cleaners. I do all my own oil changes on all my vehicles, snowmobiles, boats, small engine equipment. It's not that difficult......and then I know it's done right.

Already making a few modifications, have to go with a 10ft wall in the 1st half of the garage (20'x30'ft). 9ft walls don't allow for an 8ft garage door so not a big deal, add a 1ft wall on top of the 9ft concrete and go with 10ft 2x6 stick frame on the opposite side and garage entrance. The...

Any new member that doesn't have a name and goes 05900 is a little suspect. Then the posts disappear, perhaps because they should......

How about the guy that keeps popping up up all over the forums asking for help on Go fund Me? Is he for real or a scam?

He puts that in in our northern climate for drainage, I can't remember the exact verbage that he used but it is something to that effect with all the freeze thaw going on up here in the winter.

Never been there and I live fairly close, I'll have to visit, pictures are pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

Have to say if it was me it wouldn't have but he's about 33 years younger than I am. Even when I go swimming now the turtle dissapears for awhile!

Agree with you on Brightspeed CS but we get their 60mb service, fiberoptic for $45 per month, LIFETIME rate. Very fast and no many issues.

Had my buddies up for Spring fishing in May and some how a very nice rod and reel went overboard where we were fishing in a channel with some pretty good current. The depth was around 5 ft but strong current. The young lad (33 years old) wasn't about to give up his nice rod just yet, he stripped...

My thoughts exactly on what kind of leadership will prevail in this country. Lets see where this discussion takes us a year from now or will EV's really start to gain traction in the market? I am skeptical to say the least (Ford already laying off white collar jobs because of EV expenses)...

Sadly it's just a day off for most people, I don't think people think of the freedom that we have in our country when the 4th of July comes around every year. God Bless America!
