    The Perfect Up North Property

    Where are you looking to be or do you have a preferred location/area in mind? The reason I ask is I have a friend in real estate and she is always telling me about new land for sale.

    UP Fall Colors

    First to second week of October is normally peak. With how dry it has been this year, it might be early. Anything past second week and they are coming down in the western UP.

    The Perfect Up North Property

    We started vacationing with friends at their cabin on a 100-acre private lake in Presque Isle Wisconsin in 1989. My kids were born in 90 and 93 and we continued to make winter and summer trips to our friend's cabin until 97. Their place is a 3-season cabin and there was one almost identical to...

    Play Ball

    Like I said indy, wrong! Doesn't teach 10-year-olds basics, fundamentals or sportsmanship. If the kid is a stud and can hit it a country mile, move your outfielders deeper and teach them to run and hunt the long ball. If it goes out of the park, congrats. My dad was always the manager of my...

    Play Ball

    Intentional walks at that age is so wrong. Let the kids be kids and play. I played park district baseball from the early 70s until high school. Intentional walks didn't exist. I don't remember but I don't think they were "intentionally" allowed.

    Amazes me that some goof in South Korea would have interest in an American Midwest weather/snowmobile website.

    Does cedar siding need to be stained?

    My house/cabin was built in 2000. 28 X 44 cedar sided ranch. About 5 years in, the cedar started to turn gray which I did not like. Instead of staining the entire house every several years which is a lot of work, I do one side a year. Works well for me and only takes me a few hours on a nice...

    2.2 mile 12 turns City of Chicago streets....hmmmmm

    To answer euphoric and mezz, I was on the phone this morning with a friend that is still on the job. I had to tell him to shut down the radio because all I could hear was "Units on the city-wide, robbery in progress", "Units on the city-wide, car-jacking just occured" He told me that it was that...

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Nice project. Nice size. I'm sure it will be great when it is done. Just an idea for you. When I built mine, (24 X 40) in 2006, I bought a wall hanging heater unit with a blower at Menards or Home Depot. My fuel supply is two 100-pound LP cylinders on the back (outside) of the garage. The garage...

    It's Getting Crazy Down Here....

    Nope. I have a friend that's still a cop on the job and he starts at 6 am. A couple of weeks ago the hoodies tried to carjack him on the way to work. He drives a Silverado p/u. Nothing really special but obviously they wanted it. They boxed him at a light. He said he ran numerous lights trying...

    Joke of the day

    So on my list of things to do, I had some maintenance to do on my truck. I called the auto parts store and ordered a case of trans fluid. I could not believe it when the delivery guy showed up at my house with a case of Bud Light.

    Mosquitos

    BIFEN I/T. It's what the commercial company's use. I think I bought it on Amazon last fall and if I remember correctly, it wasn't that expensive. I don't really care what it costs because you can't put a price on constant itchy, bloody mosquito bites and I don't want to be confined to the cabin...
