    Riding after broken ribs

    So how long does it take to recover from broken ribs and be able to ride? Once again, I got that phone call that my son was in a car accident, this time though it was a lot worse and along with some internal damage (punctured and collapsed lung, torn spleen, concussion, and other internal...

    Milwaukee Snow Show, Who's Going?

    So who's going when? I had planned on Saturday but now my son informed me he is heading to Chicago for the weekend and is bailing on me. To bad, he was in line to get new boots, guess that means I'm in the market for something I hadn't planned on :). Now I may end up going Friday night...

    Powder Coating Spindles and A-Arms

    I've been thinking about powder coating these parts, plus the other misc things up front on my 07 f8. I've changed out all the grey plastic in the past couple years and the only grey left is on the front suspension/steering. I'm thinking of changes the springs out to orange, and everything...

    Cheap Gas????

    NEW YORK (AP) — The price of a gallon of gasoline may soon start with a "2'' across much the country. Gasoline prices typically decline in autumn, and this year they are being pulled even lower by falling global oil prices. By the end of the year, up to 30 states could have an average gasoline...

    So it seems like there is a lot going on this weekend: the Keweenaw Trail Services Bridge Building, the Superior Trail Services Trail Clean-up, not to mention the Mosquito "Best Neighborhood Bar in Michigan" contest judges visiting the Bug Bar on Saturday. We're all set and ready to come up but...

    Why is the Bridge lowered?

    Saw this on the webcam tonight. I thought once the bridge was raised it stayed up all summer. Did they start something different for the ATV's? Seems too low for boat traffic now.

    Shucking Corn

    Just tried a new way to do this age old chore... Instead of shucking the corn before boiling it we threw them straight into the pot, then after about 15 minutes of boiling we took them out, cut off the bottom of the husk/cob and squeezed the top. They slid right out of the husk with no silk...

    Copper Falls State Park WI

    Anyone been here or know anything about it? Thinking of going in early Oct, hoping to catch the colors. Have any suggested campsites or ones to stay away from? Besides hiking and the falls, any other things to see/do in the area?

    Trail Clean-ups This Fall

    I know it's only July, but trying to plan a couple weekends up north in Sept and Oct. Typically there are a few groups doing trail work in the UP that post their events here. Anyone have those dates set, or at least traditionally (for example, always the 3rd Sat of Sept) set yet?

    Summer in the UP

    I realize many of you won't find a "family vacation" video as cool as a sled video, but I've had so many different comments going in various threads about finishing my trailer for camping, different places to camp in the UP and the mosquitos/black fly status I figured I'd combine them all into...

    Fall Colors

    I know this is a ways away and many things can influence when things change, but is there a general timeframe that the UP's colors typically turn? Trying to do some planning for a fall trip and while I won't hold you to it, I'm trying to narrow down a window of time.

    Washington Redskins

    Ok, I'm a pretty good natured, give both sides a fair say kind of guy. In fact many people will say they rarely see me get upset or outspoken, but..... Doesn't the Government have better things to do than give the nation spotlight to some special interest group that just looks for fights to...

    Typical Power Hook-ups in Campgrounds

    I know there are usually 20 and 30 amp hook-up at most campsites, more and more have 50 amps as well, but I to make sure my home-made trailer hook-up will be correct when I hit that first campground. I'm only planning on a 20 amp service and I'm wondering if the outlet to plug into is a typical...
