    Amber Alert!

    Got your billion dollar QB but WRs FAs signed with different teams all over the NFL. RBs getting old in tooth and mediocre OL lack protection for Rogers. Looks like time and lack of cap space is gaining on the Pack. Seems to be a changing of the guard happening in NFL based on how well a team...

    9/27/22. Snowshowers near the Gunflint Trail and Ely in northern Minnesota.

    I can remember Eagle River Cranberry Fest being snowbound. The show must go on and it did finally moved up to early October. Snow this early gets you going to get all Fall jobs done asap.

    Electric vehicle

    I watch a lot of football and I thought KC vs Raiders was the game of the year so far. Very exciting and the roughing the passer penalty will be a rule changer. What a fantastic defensive play and fumble recovery then roughing the passer penalty eliminated that and spotted Raiders 3 points...

    Sure there will be knee jerk reactions to anything but that ain’t the gospel it’s a simple reaction. Don’t label groups by age or anything else or you will come up short. I listen to all the views from everyone but would never make generalizations by age or put labels on people. If you talk to...

    Electric vehicle

    It’s very limited to think at 75 I haven’t or my generation hasn’t embraced technology. I went from radio to tube TVs to flatscreens. Cell phone bricks,and bags to cellphone hand held computers. 360 room computers with punch cards to laptops and the worldwide digital internet. I picked up on...

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

    As I said before you own the stock and it’s value goes up and down. Personally I would never take a 40% loss and sell at or the near bottom of the market. Timing the market is impossible so imo take your lumps and in time you will recover. If you don’t have the stomach for equities you probably...

    Electric vehicle

    So many brands what do you think is the working man’s vehicle in 2022? V8s you got to be kidding turbo 4s took over in all wheel cars 2015-2016. Bench seats went out in the 60s buckets took over. Cell phones evolved from bricks and bags to hand held computers took awhile but excellent expensive...

    EVs submerged in salt water in FL are shorting out and burning. FD says get them out of garage and let them burn out too difficult to put out and ties up FD resources.

    That’s a great idea to discount for early purchase I like that. WI doesn’t do that or any clubs I know but excellent idea.

    SnowTech Editorial Scary Snowmobiling Future

    WI has a diverse climate and riders in the south usually don’t buy trail permits until it snows. All of it is done online and you can ride on paper until sticker arrives. Up north it’s different you know it will snow sooner or later so no return to hold out. UP is the same but more convenient...

    SnowTech Editorial Scary Snowmobiling Future

    I never saw lack of interest in joining Vilas Clubs yes lack of participation in actually volunteering to do trail work. The perk for $10 trail permits definitely gives incentive to join. Most clubs do brat fries or picnics to meet and greet. Imo you need to attend a couple of meetings to get...

    I agree some clubs won’t be compatible with your expectations. When that happens visit another club see how you fit in there. I’ve used to rotate my membership from club to club and stayed in touch with all of them. In Vilas many many choices and I rode all their trails so sometimes you join...
