    Wisconsin Gov. Evers announces support

    I noticed numerous tourism billboards on 294 by O'hare last week advertising Wisconsin winter sports with lots of snow shown in the graphic. First thought I had was it must be really bad for them to advertise mid winter like that, especially when there was NO SNOW. I don't remember ever seeing...

    2025 Sleds

    Nope, I'm good. Of course I will look at what's new but... Next thing that will entice me to buy new is power steering. Come on Doo...you can doo it. :) I came from Yamaha and I miss EPS. Love my Mach Z but a sled like that with power steering would be simply awesome FOR ME.

    Thanks for the explanation Abe. I always wanted to be a farmer but it's not in the cards for me now. I'm trying to plan my eventual retirement as it is. No desire to start over again at my age.

    What about 2 season old fuel?

    Good advice. The stations up north all have ethanol free premium so that's what I use.

    sorry if this gets off topic, but Abe what is a typical lending term for equipment like that? What is a reasonable amount of time to get that paid off then operate with that same equipment? In other words how long will they last before having to trade in or purchase again? I have no clue and am...

    What about 2 season old fuel?

    That's funny. I actually do this at the end of each season. After boat season I drain the tanks in my boats right into my vehicles. I let my truck run down to around a 1/4 tank and pump it right into the truck and use it up. Every time I fill up my boats I add sea foam so I know the gas isn't...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Abe, It is amazing how everything in our economy is so interconnected. Mike1970. I agree with you. Minimum wage jobs are not designed to be able to put two kids through college and support a family of 4, but the left wing marxists want to see that as a thing. I have kids come in who don't know...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Good conversation. Couple of points. What jonesin said is so true. In our industry we call the process of increasing all wages and not just the minimum wage compression. For example, when MW goes to $15. The staff making $15 already and have been there for 6 months or a year doesn't like the...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Paul, I understand how you feel and agree with you wholeheartedly IF there is gouging going on. Maybe there is in some or many industries. I find myself somewhat defending some of the comments here solely because my business is facing inflationary pressures that is unbelievable in so many...

    Maybe I misunderstood your post but are we drilling or are you encouraging us to drill baby drill?

    We need to be reminded $$$

    and who are we to decide what is excessive profits or too much for a business to make? if you think you are being gouged then move on. I wanted to buy a truck during covid. The high volume dealers in the Chicago area were charging as much as $20k over sticker and I refused to deal with them. I...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    OK. I will probably get ridiculed here but with a "free market" and letting capitalism do it's thing wont this work itself out? My pricing philosophy is to charge as much as you can get away with before turning away customers and drive them to your competition. The intent is not to "gouge"...

    that’s looking east? Assuming so. Is the sun further south this year? Or perhaps last years picture was more towards the end of February putting sun further north?

    I will do what you suggest. All JD Emails have been going to my Comcast spam folder for a long time. I have tried countless times going into the spam folder at Comcast and marking all JD emails as “not spam”. No matter how many times I do it they continue to go to spam. Now I just want to not...

    Gary, are the only email settings shown in the three "email options"? I have them unchecked already. Do I also have to uncheck down below next to all the alerts? I'm confused with the alerts. Are those limited to the alert bell at the top of the page once logged into the forums or are alerts...
