I have been in the beautiful (but crazy) Pacific NW for the past 1-1/2 years and will be completing my duties out here by year end or early 2015. I have an opportunity in Central Wisconsin, north of Wausau and would prefer to live north of Merrill, but my wife would like to live south of Wausau...

Was just browsing through John's inaugural journal from 1999. Amazing how fast the time has flown by, and more amazing what John has accomplished in 14 short years. I did not realize that John would do a daily journal entry, now that he is a 'big shot' Yooper we only get a weekly entry! Thanks...

Forget the hook and line, gimme a 50 cal. Browning: Actually this photo is from boatnerd.com. The USS De Wert was patrolling Lake Erie recently.

Over the weekend I was at camp near Amasa and I saw what I thought was an elk crossing the Paint River. The antler beam and height was way too big to be a white tail. Unfortunately I did not have a camera along and the deer was a couple hundred feet up stream from my vantage point so a photo...

John Just got back in town from a trip to the left coast and read your most recent journal. I have some experience with the symptoms you are having and this is what I found. I had similar chest discomfort and it would tend to work up to my ears via the duct tube. It was discovered that I had...

I am so glad our beloved government is looking out for my well being, what would I do without them? (lol) Isn't is common sense that if you have asthma, maybe you should stay away from smoke? I guess they might as well ban fire pits so the government can save us form ourselves again. Don't they...

Comical but yet serious story: So far, two fires at the resort while the State Fireman's convention was going on. First was a cigarette butt ignited landscape mulch, the second was an ottoman placed in front of a fireplace. Maintenance manager told me many of the attendees start drinking at...
