They call it the last Holiday Weekend of the summer. Kind of sad to think the summer is coming to an end but I won't miss the heat, football season is here, and we're that much closer to the cool Autumn weather and eventually snow. I have the Smoker going today with Pulled Pork and a Carolina...

Neenah, Wisconsin: Lots of tomatoes, but no ripe ones yet, the plants are 5 feet tall and braced. Cucumbers are gigantic, we've made two batches of pickles thus far, 22 jars. Beans are mostly a failure, not sure why. Just not producing this year and the plants look healthy. Banana Peppers...

Just back from a week's vacation in Northern Wisconsin. One of our stops included the Snowmobile Hall of Fame near St. Germain. I've always wanted to see the place and when we found ourselves nearby, my wife who has no interest in snowmobiles, thought it'd be fine to stop for awhile. We/I spent...

It's the end of the season for me. Heck, it never got started. Along about the middle of February I conceded the season lost. Then a late winter storm provided my first and last ride of the season with two weekdays of low traffic and groomed trails in northern Wisconsin. Outstanding! I believe...

I'm not much of a race fan but I found this blurb on the History Channel website and thought it worthy of passing along. Feb 22, 1959: Lee Petty wins first Daytona 500 On this day in 1959, Lee Petty defeats Johnny Beauchamp in a photo finish at the just-opened Daytona International Speedway in...

We'll here's a new one for me. Our dog was just in for her annual checkup last week and the vet suggested we try the Thundershirt for anxiety problems. Huh? I've heard of Thunder Cats, Thunderstorms, Rolling Thunder, but Thundershirt was a first for me. A little history. Our Yellow Lab started...

OK, the last one. I'm getting writer's cramp and eye strain... I've heard they called them Skunks because of the white stripe, it's a 73 TNT according to the signage. The Thundercat is next followed by the Manta, Motoski and Merc. Seeing these old machines bring back a lot of memories and fun...

Today I was tested! I've maintained my composure up till today. No snow for Christmas, no riding the Rev over the holidays and spending a week with the relatives indoors can test the patience of any man. The day began when my wife knocked one of the mirrors off the car backing out of the...
