    Rumor has it….

    The Wilderness, Chicago Pub, and good news on Shillelagh, which I hear received all of their lumber for the new building and a planned opening by St. Patricks Day.

    Hmmmm, another restaurant/hotel for "her". Looks like "she" is starting a monopoly.

    Vilas County

    Riders out today on Presque Isle trails. They gassed up in town and headed north so I would imagine they were headed to UP trails. Our trails look flat and rideable, (barely) but with the temperature today and tomorrow, that thin base will go to mud and ice. The roads/crossings are down to bare...

    Rumor has it….

    We can hope. That was the jewel of P.I. back in the 80s and 90s. So sad to drive by it every day and see it abandoned. One of the P.I. volunteer firemen has been cutting the grass for the past few years just so it didn't look like such an eyesore. Would love to see it re-open as a bar/restaurant...

    Here we go again

    I'm hearing that the Sunday Lake Auto business owner, (who is a great guy and fellow snowmobiler) had too many near misses with the throttle jockeys blasting through his lot without a care for anything, had enough. Too bad. I don't blame him when idiots create a liability for his business.

    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.

    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.......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.
