    Advice for using Marketplace

    Absolutely look over the prospective buyer. View their profile and walk away if all a buyer wants to do is email and text. Big ticket items “I” as a buyer would like to screen you and that means a phone to assure your legitimacy, if someone won’t talk on the phone walk away. Spammers will come...

    New truck

    The SuperDuty chassis loves pulling and the 7.3 is a proven engine. I switched to diesels in 2000 and unfortunately diesel fuel prices have tracked higher than gas since. Before you could count on it to be lower. By having gas and planning to travel you won’t have worries like “is the fuel...

    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    Agree. My philosophy is there is a paradigm shift coming. Each generation drives it where they are at in their lives and career. Young you have no money and spend on necessities particularly building your family. Later you spend as wages and kids are out of the house, then shifting to worried...

    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    I suggest government backed investments, cd’s (limit yourself to $250k at any one institution to keep w/in FDIC or FSLIC insurance or go with T-bills). I would stay away from RE. At 66 we are the top of the bell curve and our bodies will force Baby boomers to sell properties we can no longer...

    Any good movies out there?

    I finally gave up the other evening and went with the The Hustle with Hathaway and Wilson. Bad. Next night I choose Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (I figure a old classic). Immediately realized The Hustle was a female version. How didn’t we catch that the night before, because it was so mind numbing we...

    Any good movies out there?

    My wife and I will look over movies without finding anything. Generally waste 45 minutes of life that we will never get back. Once we give up we put on a recorded episode of ”Who’es line is it anyway”. Love Jack Ryan but sooooo long between “seasons. Sadly we binge a new season in a couple days...

    Home Wreckers

    He had me going with the “calling in the airstrike”!! How cool would that have been. We had a picker come through and he gutted everything before our demo. All that remained were the concrete block walls.

    BoonDocker's crossing the trail.

    I agree. A guy can dream. Over the last couple years we have seen a stepped up effort outside Marquette. Well, more so their vehicles parked with their sleds nowhere in sight. With the uptick in riding on private property, woodies freelancing powerlines, woodies ripping into trails, maybe a...

    BoonDocker's crossing the trail.

    We saw the same on January and February rides. Once we approached a group in front of us in some tight twisties, out of the woods comes a woodie and fortunately the guy in front of us reacted in time while our group watching in slow motion were able to react as more woodies followed. Whenever...

    What makes us ride where we do?

    It is like a chess game. We have based out of the same place for over 12 years (owners haven’t raised rent and stopped advertising in winter bcuz they like us). My buddies live in Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan. We arrive Saturday or Sunday, make a quick ride to Foggys or Buckhorn for dinner. We...

    What amount of miles on a sled scare you?

    For me when given the chance to find a Timken bearing equivalent I use them.

    What amount of miles on a sled scare you?

    Indy and Hoosier, I had a interesting conversation earlier this month about ”bearings” while stopped on the trail. The gentleman would not devolged his company (bearings supplier) but said for many years now their auto mfg bearing rejects are gobbled up by Poo and Cat. This discussion came up as...
