My question on it has always been “at what point does it transition from trespassing to squatting?”. When I was young my grandparents had 5,000 aces in northern WI. This meant that they landlocked many small lakes. The locals would have nothing to do with that so they made paths to access...

Just remember that it is lake effect so 12“ of fluff is only 1“ compacted. Most rocks, stumps and ruts are taller than 1”.

Buying votes imo. Government intervention usually does not end well. I watched debt cripple (midwest) farmers while milk subsidies built the mega dairies in Calif and Texas years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I empathize with these businesses. The one week we got to ride it was crickets in the...

8 years ago my right arm kept “like falling out of socket”. It was September and I thought I should have it checked out. MRI results went to surgeon and I got a call the next day to go over the results. He had me move my arm around and asked about my level of discomfort. No different than the...

I love snow! Summer just makes me sleepy. My life has revolved around these 3 precious months every year. 4 years ago my ability to walk degraded quickly between the Milwaukee snow show and the Novi snow show. A month later I had back surgery and was told I could Not snowmobile that season...

Schoolcraft County & Tahquamenon (TASA) are both locking their gates. These gates are on “snowmobile only” trails. I applaud them to preserve the trails as well as landowners from illegal ORV activity. Just cancelled Next week in Munising. 3rd cancelation this winter but on a bright note, we...

Happy belated Birthday!

I wanted the 590 but in 2015 the entire midwest had 2-3 units that dealers would not let go. My dealer had the 900 on display and gave it to me for less than a 590.

I have a older Ranger 900. It is primarily utility for the yard. The downside(s) to a SxS in my opinion are: 1) it’s big. You can only go on ORV (Jeep) designated sized trails and forest roads here in Michigan. I thought I would take it to the UP to summer explore the snowmobile trails, but...

Gary, Florida, really? If it works we will all be forever in-debt to you!

Happy Birthday!

Like tv’s & AC’s, there are only a couple manufacturers. All the brands are owned and produced by a few mfr’s overseas. GE was bought out about 10 years ago.

You heard correct. Lithium batteries can be damaged charging them when they are internally below 32 degrees (generally). My EV battery bank has an anti freeze heating/cooling system you should activate prior to driving off in sub 32 temps.

Lotsfire. My transponder expired during Covid and everything was shutdown. Finally getting hold of customer service and they gave me a new expiration date. Interesting about NY. I know their whole system is transponder with no booths. Over my career I had numerous deals come across my desk to...

In my offices over the years everyone would be moaning and groaning and then there was me. Snow just puts me in a good mood.

Interesting. I have had a ipass for 20 years and the current transponder says it is good till 2025. I haven’t been back there in many years but use it for NY when I go camping in the summers and most recently through Louisville. Guess I will need to close the account and buy one from NY.

Wow. So glad I left there years ago. Not to self: do not use toll road with my RV when I return to see family and friends!

New years eve 78/79. 4am. Only two of us awake and the other guy was really hammered. Came out of the bathroom and saw he had fired up his sled. Suited up quickly to haul his a$$ back inside. He pinned it and was gone. Fired my sled up and chased his tail light across M28 and down the road maybe...

This is the best reading ever!!! Keep them coming.

Sometime after 2001 while I was riding solo out of Marquette (technically Harvey MI). The last day of my trip on a Friday the snow guns off Lake Superior began overnight. I decided to go to Big Bay and left at 7am. Once past M41 it was deep and kept getting deeper all the while it just kept...
