    Malware in the Beer Thread?

    I find this kind of funny. Every time I open the Beer thread, Google Chrome freaks and generates a malware warning. It only seems to happen on this thread. Is this some kind of pro-prohibition scheme? Anti-virus and malware scans have turned up no malware. Internet Exploder does not...

    Peer Pressure and Your Sled Choice

    OK, I'm looking for the straight scoop here. I'm curious about the amount of peer pressure you've experienced regarding your choice of sled brands, whether it be from friends, relatives, whomever, and whether or not it had an effect. This pressure can range from good nature'd ribbing to...

    You think You've Got Benefits!

    J.D Membership Demographic - The Real Poll

    This is what happens when you let kids play unsupervised. I think I have this right now. I've always been a little curious about the age demographics of the John Dee membership and if there are reasons why it might be moving in one direction or the other. I have my suspicions about how this...

    A Show About Trail Groomers?

    When checking the selection of occupation-based shows on the "The" channels (History/Discovery/Learning) today it seems that what is missing is a show about trail groomers. Should I be worried that I would probably find this show interesting? I mean, a lot of us know of equipment (good and...

    Freeing a Stuck ATV Motor

    I'm sure some of you out there have some ideas. A few years ago I left an older Honda 200SX ATV at my daughters to use. I'm sure it hasn't been run for at least a couple of years and when I was up there recently I found out that it won't turn over with the pull rope - most likely due to...

    Bob Seger, Michigan Native Son

    Caught Bob's show at the Xcel tonight - Great Show! It's fortunate for us that he usually includes St. Paul in his tour schedule. Yes, it's true, there was more gray hair than meatloaf night at an Old Country Buffet but that doesn't mean it was a low key event. Bob and his band cranked it out...

    How Desperate is This?

    Not much of a topic but maybe it says something. We've been having trouble with our cable and in spite of two visits from the cable company, it crapped out completely again today. Panic time! So now, I've rigged an "emergency" cable from the box, across the yard, though a window and directly...

    Say Ya to the USA

    I'm hoping this won't be interpreted as political as it is not my intent. This is the time of year when we're all a little crabby with regard to the state of things but the truth is, how many of us would choose to live anywhere else? Do we have problems? Yes, but we're able to express our...

    How to Bathe a Cat

    Some of you may have already seen this but my brother sent it to me this morning. He didn't send any specific details but I guess this happened up by the Northwest Angle on Lake of the Woods. As you can see by the markers, this opened up right on the marked trail. Those pressure ridges are...

    Off Trail in Northern MN - Feb.....1974

    I was going through some old photos and it struck me that even though much has changed in our winter addiction, some things haven't. Everything about our machines and gear is better but the experience is still the same. I look at some of my current photos and the similarities are remarkable...

    Ski-Doo A-Arm Question

    I'm sure a knowledgeable Ski-Doo rider can answer this very quickly. After riding this week, I noticed that the right front shock on my 04 Rev Summit is now positioned slightly further towards the rear of the upper A-Arm than the left shock. I can't say for sure if this just happened or if it...
