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

    Paul, Who did you get for the overhead doors? And were you happy with them? I need to replace a couple cheap, insulated 12' x12' doors next year and not sure who's the guy to get. Tim

    UP Fall Colors

    I didn't see this mentioned, the Copper Peak ski flying jump north of Bessemer. You can ride the chair lift from the parking lot, then the elevator about 2/3 of the way up the tower then walk the stairs the remainder. On a clear day you can see 25-30 miles in every direction. You're around 1,200...

    starlink

    Been on it for almost two years with no issues. Only had one outage we noticed and it was less than ten minutes total. But there are many micro-outages of a second or so through out the day. The only time we notice these is if we are using wifi calling and there are be dropped or broken words...

    Advice for using Marketplace

    Same thing here, fake name on a facebook account that is only used for marketplace. No friends, no posts, but several years history. I do believe that some of my messenger inquiries are ignored but if the happens I just have the wife or son ask about an item. If it is a female selling something...

    No offence if it's one of us but....

    I belong to one site that gives the option of paying for no adds. It is $6 a year and well worth it. DOn't pay and you see adds. We pay via paypal which will probably set some people off but you can't please everyone.

    Perkins has closed in Minocqua

    Chinese place is great. Like said above it is small batches of food on the buffet so it is always super fresh.

    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    If you want secure there is really no such thing as "maxed out with CD's", it is one of the few secure options paying more than or close to inflation right now. And being heavy in short term CD's isn't necessarily bad if you don't want to take the chance on being in the market when the rise...

    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    I just renewed a couple CD's at 5.1% and have a few more to roll over in the next month but I'm waiting for the next Fed rate hike. From what i read online they are expected to do another one percent hike within this month. Most banks will follow the hike within a week. There are also mutual...

    BoonDocker's crossing the trail.

    I had this happen to me last Friday south of Twin Lakes. I was running between 60 and 70 and he shot across from the right side to the left and I probably missed him by less than five feet. I slid to a stop, looked back and to his credit he also stopped and thumped his chest as if saying "my...

    What makes us ride where we do?

    I usually ride from my place in PI. We do take a couple backpack trips each year and if possible I like to just head in a direction and see where it takes us. Almost always that is north into the UP. I seldom ride (like hardly ever) south. I prefer the fewer stops, road crossings, road riding...

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    It is 25 and things are freezing again in PI. The trails I have seen are like frozen slush. We have had a few very light flurries so far today and it is very windy but not enough new snow to help much. Lakes are grey with standing water but it is freezing up. Roads are mostly all bare or a...

    Langlade, Oneida, Vilas trail conditions.

    I went from PI thru BJ to Minocqua and back thru MW on Monday in a car, not riding. I saw lots of bare, muddy ground on the sun exposed portion of the trails. The closer I got to Minocqua the worse it was. The trails in the shade or the woods looked flat but icy and pretty brown. Any pavement...

    Rock wool insulation

    I've used it several times. The only complaint I had is that it was dirty to install. Dusty, gritty, whatever you want to call it. Working overhead you need to wear glasses to keep it out of your eyes. Other than that minor thing it is a good choice. You might want to consider Zip sheeting...

    3.0 Baby Duramax

    I have a 21 Denali with the 3.0 duramax. No problems with either the truck or drive train. I get great mileage with it, around 24-28 mpg in daily or highway driving. Of course towing drops it down. My only complaint is the start/stop which you can turn off with a switch but you have to do it...
