    Play Ball

    Intentional walks at that age is so wrong. Let the kids be kids and play. I played park district baseball from the early 70s until high school. Intentional walks didn't exist. I don't remember but I don't think they were "intentionally" allowed.

    Now what ?

    Amazes me that some goof in South Korea would have interest in an American Midwest weather/snowmobile website.

    Does cedar siding need to be stained?

    My house/cabin was built in 2000. 28 X 44 cedar sided ranch. About 5 years in, the cedar started to turn gray which I did not like. Instead of staining the entire house every several years which is a lot of work, I do one side a year. Works well for me and only takes me a few hours on a nice...

    2.2 mile 12 turns City of Chicago streets....hmmmmm

    To answer euphoric and mezz, I was on the phone this morning with a friend that is still on the job. I had to tell him to shut down the radio because all I could hear was "Units on the city-wide, robbery in progress", "Units on the city-wide, car-jacking just occured" He told me that it was that...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Nice project. Nice size. I'm sure it will be great when it is done. Just an idea for you. When I built mine, (24 X 40) in 2006, I bought a wall hanging heater unit with a blower at Menards or Home Depot. My fuel supply is two 100-pound LP cylinders on the back (outside) of the garage. The garage...

    It's Getting Crazy Down Here....

    Nope. I have a friend that's still a cop on the job and he starts at 6 am. A couple of weeks ago the hoodies tried to carjack him on the way to work. He drives a Silverado p/u. Nothing really special but obviously they wanted it. They boxed him at a light. He said he ran numerous lights trying...

    Joke of the day

    So on my list of things to do, I had some maintenance to do on my truck. I called the auto parts store and ordered a case of trans fluid. I could not believe it when the delivery guy showed up at my house with a case of Bud Light.

    Mosquitos

    BIFEN I/T. It's what the commercial company's use. I think I bought it on Amazon last fall and if I remember correctly, it wasn't that expensive. I don't really care what it costs because you can't put a price on constant itchy, bloody mosquito bites and I don't want to be confined to the cabin...

    Mosquitos

    Arrived in Presque Isle yesterday afternoon and was shocked to still have the black flies/flying gnats. They are normally here for about a week in early to mid-May but they are still here. Mosquitoes are here but not too bad. I use the company Mosquito Authority to spray every 3 weeks and last...

    Walleyes for Tomorrow

    Years ago, I took my nephews out fishing for muskies on our lake. I explained the solunar table to them and told them to figure out the major feeding period for the next day. We went out at the start of the major and both of them caught a musky within minutes of each other. Luck ? Maybe but I'm...

    Memorial Day Thanks to our Veterans

    Its sad that some of the current and future leaders of this nation fail to understand what past generations, leaders, and soldiers did to ensure that we all breathe free air and are able to live life the way we want. Thank you to all of the people out there that continue to protect our nation...

    April 17th

    Didn't think I would be doing this again in mid-April. 15 inches in Presque Isle at 10 am and still coming down. Rain turned to snow last night around 9 pm. Drove up on Saturday from Chicago in shorts and a t-shirt because it was in mid 70s. Planned on summer prepping the snowmobiles but now I'm...

    Snowmobile Insurance

    Completely understand. My neighbor was my insurance guy for the house and cars for many years. (Farmers Ins. Co.) No claims but they jacked my homeowners for "Bad Experience" throughout the nation with hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc. Not my problem. I told my neighbor that he was a good guy...
