    Hunter ceiling fan and light question

    Maybe if the connector plugs are the same. Just remember the longer the pole the chances of imbalance are probable and you will need to weight and balance. FJB has ceiling fans on his energy hit list and regulations so expect price increases.

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Imo you have to be thinking November conditions, warm temps, ground not frozen and lakes are open along with swamps. Les snowbelts are best chance for snow but will be jammed with traffic so darn difficult to plan anything in these conditions. Imo make plans and reservations with places with...

    Lessons from John

We are way behind on a groomable trail base in the UP and trails in WI are routed thru swamps and over lakes. Realistically it will take some very cold weather then snow to get the groomers out.

    The snow dust created on some of the road trails in Clark county by ATVs is incredible. Combining sleds and ATVs use on snow is like horse and buggy on the interstate with race cars. Crazy combination.

    Septic: Would this be a good move?

    Buddy used to put straw on his tank and field every winter. His cottage was never meant to be used year around but he never had a problem so straw sure can’t hurt.

    I don’t remember that and it’s been closed up for awhile now like most of Silver City but Foothills was a booming winter business in the 90s. It was the last restaurant before Silver Sands Motel and the Ski Hill.

    Chance of a White Xmas in North Central WI?

    Vilas is all or nothing for open and I don’t see it for this week. I think at best we can do is take it week by week and hope for the best but a big thank you to all that contributed to area conditions since we are all blind without JD Forecasts. 👍

    It’s been along time that the WI Northwoods didn’t have a white Xmas. Snowmobile renters don’t need much snow to ride bar to bar and have a great time. This is going to hurt biz for sure😞

    Menards discontinued their traditional 11% discount in December and usually don’t bring it back until 3rd week of January. 12% for 12 days on everything indicates Xmas sales weren’t good
