    Building / Shop advice

    When I did my research I was concerned about the screws leaking at some point in the future. That is why I went with the standing seam metal roof. No exposed screws. The sides of each panel are screwed to roof sheeting and the next panel overlaps it with a standing, (raised rib) seam and snaps...

    Building / Shop advice

    I did my research this spring on metal vs. shingle and we went a metal roof on our house and garage in Presque Isle Wisconsin. Shingle roof was 22 years old. The house is 28 X 44, and the garage is 24 X 40. We went with 26-gauge snap lock standing seam on 17-inch centers with titanium...

    What's New with You?

    Congrats SHOOT2KILL. Retirement is a wonderful thing. Soon you will not know what day of the week it is and not care because every day is a day off.

    When It's Time to say Goodbye

    You are right Gary. Not a dry eye here. We are in same position with our third Rottweiler named Madison. She is 8 and I see the grey in her chin, the difficulty with stairs, and we are worried that the clock is ticking too fast for her. Thanks for sharing. Such a tough thing when it comes time...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    I had serious concerns about my investments when Old Joe snuck into the White House. I called my financial advisor with Edward Jones and he said the stock investments were long term. Don't worry. I get it but now I'm afraid to look at the statements because the "bleeding" just doesn't seem to...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    Hey matti, I just found a new ghost story/haunted location/eerie circumstance. It stretches from Park Ridge Illinois all the way up to Presque Isle Wisconsin. I looked at my investments, i.e. stocks, IRA's, deferred compensation plan, and other banking and interest statements. Seems a lot has...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    You were in the house before it burned? Like matti, I dont want to even go near it. I am not a believer in ghosts or spooks but there are a lot of things that cannot be explained by science or logic and I see no reason to tempt fate. My son and a friend of mine went there years ago to explore...

    What is your favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location?

    Summerwind on the Cisco chain. A lot of unexplained stuff happened at that house that mysteriously burned down. None of the older locals want to talk about it and deny any knowledge of where it was. Ruins still remain but nature has pretty much taken it back.

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Keep in mind that this statement was put out by Snowriver. We might hear a different perspective when we hear from the Gogebic Range Trail Authority. Just saying...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    I will amend my negative internet, bar, restaurant noise about them. Its already happening and we don't have to do it because they did it to themselves.

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    Call it what you will. I agree that the landowner rights are sacred but like Hoosier said, to pull this in mid-September is not what every other area business supported by snowmobile dollars would consider to be a good neighbor. My daughter lives in Bessemer and when I talked to her yesterday...

    Trail 2 - Losing a section due to change of ownership

    So if I understand this correctly, a small portion of easement that runs through Big Snow property is going to affect E/W snowmobile traffic on trail 2 from Marenisco, to Wakefield, Bessemer, and Ironwood. If that's the case, there will be a huge impact on all of those small-town local...

    SnowTech Editorial Scary Snowmobiling Future

    Moose and blkhwkbob. I just want to provide a little clarification. I was a cop. Went on at 21 and retired at 51. Pension was maxxed at 75 percent of my salary after 30 years so in my opinion, it did not make fiscal sense to stay any longer. It really was not an early retirement. Also, in law...

    9/11/01 Where were you?

    Gender issues, inclusion, pronouns, critical race theory, and a lot of other crap that teaches you nothing more than to be dependent on the government and think how they want you to. Glad my kids are grown and I don't have to fight some liberal school curriculum.

    9/11/01 Where were you?

    I had just gone to bed after working midnight shift. The wife got the kids up and off to school. I heard phone start ringing around 9am. Machine picked it up. Ringing again and again and again. Machine kept getting it. Now I was up and figured somebody really needed to wake me. Answered it on...

    Rising fuel costs hinder planned trips?

    To answer euphoric1 question, no. I will not let the cost of gas prevent travel and riding enjoyment that I worked 30 years to get to but I will find other ways to offset it a little. This summer friends of mine opened a breakfast food truck in Presque Isle called Tip Ups Takeaways. They have...

    Epi Pens

    Sorry to hear about your bite pclark. I have noticed that the bees up there have been brutal this summer. I was stung twice in Presque Isle two weeks ago. Once in head on shore and once in thigh out on lake. I am somewhat allergic to them as I swelled and itched but nowhere near what you...

    Gas

    The old fool that sits in the white house just doesn't get it. He is hurting America, republicans and democrats alike. I hope that anyone who voted for him or those that helped him cheat his way into the presidency are just as sick as the rest of us. It has to hurt the democrats wallets just as...
