I had 54 degrees in the hazy sun this afternoon. I'm sure it was closer to 45, but the thermometer showed 54, and it was hazy at the time. I don't like that now in February. Lets wait a fews weeks or so for that. Just checked again, and it's still 48 degrees. Sun is behind the clouds. Maybe...

I know you get what you pay for. What about something that will not get a real lot of use. Are they good enough for occational use. Same goes for the Chicago electric tools. Just wondering what you all have experienced. They have a few things I would like, but I'm a little leary about their...

I am interested in what some clubs have come up with for names. Considering that alot of clubs are 30-40 years old or so, this should be interesting. Our club is the Poniatowski Dare Devils. Started in 1970 by a few "dare devils" jumping a hay stack. We are in western Marathon County. What's...

Does anyone know where there may be a dealer for Avanti ATVs. I bought an Avanti Bandit, 100 cc ATV for my boys for Christmas, but it did not come with an owners manual. I don't know of any dealers, I need some help. Anyone know of a dealer?

Is the dam done? Is there any water in the flowage? Is anyone ice fishing it? Catching anything?

I know in case of an emergency I don't need to run the whole house, just the essentials. What size generator do you use as a back-up for your home/cabin. I think I have found a good deal on a 5550/8550 watt Briggs. I had been looking to buy a 6500/8000 watt Generac. Is the 5550 big enough, from...

Happy Birthday (hamburgchf) Dad! Have a wonderful day!

Creeks and rivers are high here. We live on high ground, so I'm not worried for us. There are a few schools letting out early, a few roads closed, and I even heard of a small bridge washed out within 20 miles of us. Anyone have any trouble? I hope not. Let's hope this trend continues through...

Years ago a local bar where I grew up had a guest book for all snowmobilers to sign. It was a little contest in the area to see who could be the first one there on a sled every year. I don't remember what the day or year was, but I remember coming home from church one Suday at noon and my dad...

We got a new Teddy Bear puppy. Just wondering if anyone else has one and any tips you could give us. She is 10 weeks old and doing ok on potty training, needs lots of work on other things, like biting and to come when called. We have had her a week and as of today her name is Playdoh.

What about getting the Pasty cam, bridge cam on the NCN? I love that view of the bridge, I check that one when I am checking the other favs on the NCN.

Anyone remember Jakes Bar? I think it was in the Twin Lakes area. Saw it last weeek when we were up there. I always liked stopping to see his pet, I think it was a mountain lion, maybe cougar. He had some cool old stories, and he could really do alot considering his handicap. Anyone know what...

Do you think that the Sprint Cup drivers should be able to race in the Nationwide series? I think that it just amounts to practice for Sundays race for the Cup drivers. I would limit them to 2 Nationwide races a year, or ban them entirely. It has to be frustrating to the regular Nationwide boys...

Had Greg Biffles show car at my company picnic today. While I'm not a Jack Rousch or Greg Biffle fan, it was still a neat experience. It's not every day that you get a true Nascar at your picnic. He fired it up for my boys and let 'er crack a few times, kinda loud when you're 30 feet away. Some...

Where is your favorite place to camp? Our family favorite is the Big Eau Pleine County Park in southern Marathon County, WI. It has good size sites, well wooded, electric hook-up on about half of the sites, miles of gravel trails for walking or biking, nice park area with shelter, playground...

My wife recently quit her job to be at home for our boys. So far it has been great having her home, and the kids like it too. I am wondering if there any other moms out there that stayed home for the kids and what your pros and cons are.

My family will be spending our summer vacation in the UP. I have been going up there since 1988. I am looking for things to do or see that a person may have look for a little, something off the beaten path. I am familiar with the main attractions, I want something that is not well known. I find...

I need to have the radon gas in my home taken care of. From what I have heard and read online, it will probably cost me more than $1000 to have a pro do the job. I think I could do it myself for half of that cost. It does not look like a very difficult project, maybe a little time consuming. I...

How late in the year have you rode your sled in the U.P.? I rode April 1st about 10 years ago, from Mass City north over one weekend. Just interested how long some guys can make the season.
