It's been 40 years since the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior. Below is a link to the Gordon Lightfoot song with video of the great ship and another link that is a timeline of the day of the sinking including weather maps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw...

Here's a few print adds from more than 30 years ago compliments of SnoGoer magazine. This was during the time I had taken a break from snowmobiling because of career, family, etc. so I'm not too familiar with these models. I didn't realize that John Deere was still making sleds in 83...

Sure has been a lot of confusion over this but just in the nick of time my copy of the Wisconsin Snowmobiler came in the mail. It's the magazine that's put out by the AWSC, Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs and the following picture details where to get your Trail Pass and how much it...

I found this story on the History Channel, this would've occurred some 20 years after the Great Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, both caused by similar conditions and circumstances. The town of Hinckley, Minnesota, is destroyed by a forest fire on this day, September 1, 1894. A total of 440 people...

Each summer about this time I share some video from an event just down the road from us in Neenah, the E.A.A. AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It's one of the largest Fly-Ins in the world, truly impressive if you like to be up close to aircraft and the people who fly them. This year's event...

According to the instructions it's supposed to be placed at the bottom of the windshield. If you don't have a windshield, placed somewhere prominently on the hood. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I have a Doo Insignia on the bottom of my windshield and it looks a lot better than this but what...

Been kind of slow on JD lately so I thought I'd add something new. This is a link to an article in SnoGoer this month. If you're into early iron and racing of the early 70's you'll likely enjoy the story. Honestly, I'd never heard of the woman but she sounds like a real character in snowmobiling...

Happy Easter everyone!!

A Weekend in Mercer I thought I'd share our experience of the past weekend in Mercer, Wisconsin. This was our annual Club Ride when we try to pull together as many members as possible for a weekend of riding. We stayed at the Great Northern Hotel which can be considered "snowmobile friendly"...

Are you kidding me, too much snow has shortened the Soo I 500! In this miserable Snow Starved winter of 2015 the I 500, 500 laps on a one mile oval had to be shortened because of poor visibility. Here's the link if you want to read the story as I borrowed it from SnowGoer...

Can anyone venture a guess what it means when the Groundhog bites the mayor? http://fox11online.com/2015/02/02/jimmy-the-groundhog-turns-on-the-mayor/

OK, so we're one game away from the Superbowl. We got a one-legged quarterback up against the best defense in football. Green Bay has some weapons but I'd feel a lot better if Aaron was able to run from the pocket. The Packers are a more than a touchdown underdog but "on any given Sunday..."...

So here we go...The Tundra's gonna be frosty and the colder the better when the Cowboys get off the bus. Probably a lot of references to Ice Bowl II but it's not going to be that cold. -13 the last time the Cowboys played the Packers in Green Bay for the 1967 playoffs. Green Bay is the early...

Considering our current forecast I find it interesting that it was 39 Years ago to the day on Monday that the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in an early season Winter Storm on Lake Superior. With the current storm approaching it seems to add a little familiarity. Thoughts and Prayers for the families...

To start things off here's a video that has some classic clips from past games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9Oo94pUPP4 The odds makers say the Packers by 7 and it's almost always a good game. Can't wait until Sunday night!

Anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Newman was storing mail in Jerry's basement because he was too lazy to deliver it? Well, we have a small scandal in the fine little town of Neenah, Wisconsin. Read on. Wisconsin mail carrier probed after allegedly dumping GOP political mailers By...

A couple of pics from Sunday's game with Carolina. 78,000+ watched the Pack beat the Panthers until they called off the dogs and played the 2nd and 3rd string. Always great to see a game at Lambeau but the prices are nuts, 8 dollar beers and a "Cheeseburger Combo" for $15.75 I'm not sure what's...

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought I'd share it. Green Bay fans will like it, Bears, Lions, and Vikes not so much. It's all in good fun and with no game on Sunday it looks like we'll be watching the Bears and Lions games anyway. Have a great weekend everybody...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- The Old Farmer's Almanac, the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts, is predicting a colder winter and warmer summer for much of the nation. Published Wednesday, the New Hampshire-based almanac predicts a "super-cold" winter in the...
