    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    2000, when we built our cabin up north. Was looking for info on U.P. trails and accommodations when I stumbled across JD site.

    Heere Meester Bleezard!

    6+" on ground in Presque Isle Wisconsin. Enough for me to ride to The Retreat Bar for lunch but I don't want to get shot at by angry deer hunters.

    11/25

    1" overnight in Presque Isle. Another 1" since daybreak and coming down pretty good now at noon. Bring on the lake effect.

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    Good God. Mine have been sitting in the garage since March of 2023. No miles in season of 2023/2024. Started the entire fleet of 7 several times throughout the spring, summer, and fall and brought then up to temperature or to the point that the garage looked like it was on fire from the smoke...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I I had mine done in 2020. I was 56 at the time. My surgeon was very hesitant saying I was too young, and I would risk wearing out new knee before I died. Xray and mri showed bone on bone. My wife lost her composure with the guy and went off on him asking what I was supposed to do until I was...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I had total right knee replacement in July of 2020. P/T started very next day, 3 days a week with therapist and more or less 7 days a week on my own. I worked hard at the rehab and was building a new deck at the cabin in late August. I was slow and had to take frequent sit-downs but at about 8...

    Propane price?

    99 cents a gallon last week from Ritchie. They will only deliver if you are at or below 40%. I own my tank and it was nice to buy 200 gallons and not feel sick about it. Ritchie charged me $5.52 for fuel surcharge and $3.04 for hazmat fee. I guess that's just the cost of doing business.

    Fall Colors!

    October 6th, I would say we are getting near full color in Presque Isle Wisconsin but the brutal wind the last couple of days have taken a lot of the leaves down. Something strange is that I have two maples that are about twenty feet apart and one is full yellow/orange and the other is still...

    So a little late summer project

    40 X 64 X 16? You should probably be able to fit a few toys in there.....and my house.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Interested to see the house remodel Paul being how gorgeous the garage turned out. We were in your hood, on Spider Lake last week on a pontoon boat and I took a cruise listening for construction noise and looked to see if I could find your place from the lake.

    Got the itch

    So, we decided to go with a 2025 Polaris Sportsman Touring 570 Premium. Did a lot of comparative shopping from dealerships in Wisconsin and the UP. Found a dealer in Milwaukee area who had it advertised online for about $800. less than MSRP. I contacted Pats motorsports being that I see a lot of...

    What is going on

    Nice looking sled Indy. Now all we need is snow this winter. I bought a new Grand Touring before last season. Still sitting in the garage with 0 miles on it and the manufacturer sales stickers still there. Starting it once a month along with all of the other sleds is getting old so the gas...

    Got the itch

    Thanks for the replies guys. Now I'm even more torn. Good points on the tippy factor and eating dust. My daughter has a SXS and I have used it. I guess I'm comparing apples to oranges. Sitting in a SXS as opposed to straddling the ATV. Steering wheel and gas pedal vs. handlebars and throttle. I...

    Got the itch

    I'm getting tired of waiting for the snow, so the wife gave me the green light to buy a new 2 up ATV for her and I to go play on the trails in Northern Wisconsin. After a lot of internet due diligence, I have it narrowed down to a Can Am Outlander Max XT700 or a Polaris Sportsman Touring 570...
