From Wikipedia; The Curse of the Billy Goat is a sports-related curse that was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise in 1945, when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave game 4 of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers at Wrigley...

Guess I'll get things started. A lot of "experts" are predicting a deep run in the playoffs for this year's Packers. But that's a long way off and I for one will enjoy the journey between the first game to the last. I'm hoping we can use this thread for thoughts along the way for this season...

This may be getting too close to political content for the moderators, if so, feel free to kick it to the curb. Here's a response from a 49er's fan following Colin Kaepernick's decision not to stand for the National Anthem at Friday night's game against the Packers. Watch the short video to the...

Well it's pushing 90 degrees today but low and behold the mailman delivered my copy of SnoGoer which hopefully signals the coming of cooler temperatures which can't get here soon enough. And this one looks special, it's a Collector's Edition featuring the last 50 years of Snowmobiling from 1966...

For the best results be sure to read the complete instructions... Recipe for Planking Carp In Asia, carp is a common part of the diet. In the US, not so much. They are bottom feeders, the delicate white flesh found in farmed carp from Asia is often brown and muddy when taken from our streams...

The Ol' Gunslinger is going into the Hall of Fame this weekend. Many happy memories for those of us in Wisconsin (and Minnesota too). Two Superbowls for the Pack and darn near another one with the Vikings. The game he played against the Raiders a couple of days after his dad died, incredible...

This is the week of the Experimental Aircraft Association Fly-in in Oshkosh and I've attached a couple of links to video that indicate the scope of this event. I'll be a part of the logistics and transportation team that moves close to a half million people from point A to point B this week. Add...

Just a little History Blurb today during the slow times on J.D. Usually I'm pretty good with famous events in history but this one almost slipped by me. 47 years ago tonight I was a young lad watching TV with the family in Northern Wisconsin... (FoxNews.com) Wednesday marks the 47th...

Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple. Woody Guthrie

A pretty good read for those of us fond of the Old Iron. Some stuff you already knew and some stuff maybe not. I can't verify accuracy so there may be some discrepencies as this was posted on Totally Yamaha. Pour yourself a beverage and set back and enjoy the read. Name a Pink snowmobile...

Jay Cutler meets St. Peter in heaven and St. Peter says, “Here’s your house, Jay,” and St. Peter points to a shabby-looking blue bungalow with a lawn full of weeds. Next to it is a big, beautiful home. It’s painted green and has a bright yellow roof with a green No. 12 on it. A Packers flag is...

Here's an item that didn't make much noise this week with all the politics in the news. Legendary Merle Haggard died this week, he was 79 and passed away on his birthday. For the Millennials his music will sound simplistic, maybe corny and it is compared to today's tunes. His music came from a...

Here's a picture of Wisconsin on Friday morning just before dawn from the International Space Station. This is a view looking from the northwest to the southeast. Almost at center is Green Bay, Lake Winnebago and the Fox Cities. Milwaukee and Chicago to the upper right and the Door County...

OK, here's your chance to be the judge and jury. This video was shot on Highway 41 in the Fox Cities just north of Appleton which is now part of the Interstate system in Wisconsin. If you've ever driven it you know it's fast and there's a lot of other people going in the same direction. Some of...

Just down the road from us in Oshkosh, Wisconsin is home of the E.A.A. the host of one of the largest Aviation shows in the world. They announced the dates this week, July 25th through the 31rst, so if you're on vacation that week, circle that on your calendar. I found out this week that I'll be...

I haven't watched SNL for years but this past weekend they did some comedy that was close to home for some of us. Fond du Lac doesn't have a TV station but the folks in the Big Apple probably didn't bother to check. Still, some funny stuff if you can laugh at yourself. Here's the link to watch...

Here's a picture of the Mackinac Bridge with a Blue Ice Jam. Something I hadn't seen before, experts say it's caused by a couple factors and has to do with the size and shape of molecules in the ice crystals – and how they interact with light.

The video shows quite a bit more than the Yamaha version that's been floating around but not a lot of details. Just creating buzz I suppose as this winter comes to an end. A new engine and I think I caught a new Gauge Pod on one of the models too. Click on the link to see the New Doo's for 2017...

We had a couple of cars hit by trains following the snowstorm on Monday. The crash in Green Bay looks pretty violent, the one in Appleton is more like in slow motion. The good news is nobody was hurt and here's a link to the stories...

So what's on your Snowmobile Wish List this year? More than anything I'd like to see some Cold Weather and Snow but it's looking like we may be "scrooged" on that one. I did splurge and bought some new boots this year, they're the new ones from Ski Doo called TEC + otherwise the sled and gear...
