    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...

    Fear the Deere

    Another sled that when done, will belong in a museum. Looking forward to your progress.

    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...

    The Olympics

    Probably was the French who did the skit but America reporting on it and getting American perspective on it showed a lot of goofy people who thought that was ok. And I'm sure the International Olympic Committee where there is American representation had to approve a stupid thing like that.

    The Olympics

    What was with the drag queen thing mocking the last supper? Still amazes me how weird and disrespectful America has become.

    My vehicle was totaled by my insurance company

    My wife and daughter both have 21 Jeep Grand Cherokees Paul. Great vehicles. You will be very happy. My wife's has the V8 hemi. The thing is a rocket. Daughters has the V6. She loves it for all of the U.P miles she puts on it with the gas mileage.

    When They Double Dog Dare You

    I was at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game as a kid in the early 70s with my dad and a streaker ran the field. Security beat the crap out of that idiot in front of 30,000 cheering fans and WGN television. I miss the days of no video, cell phone cameras, etc. when someone did something stupid and got...

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

    Looks great Paul. Looking forward to getting over there and seeing it in person. The little guy is a lot bigger than the last pictures. Enjoy your visit with them. My grandson made his first trip north to our cabin last week. Mosquitoes were brutal so not a lot of outside time but he did get to...

    An Antique Farmall

    Seeing your work in the past, it will probably belong in a museum instead of cruising the trails.

    Quite a blow up here on 4/16

    Best investment we made was a whole house generator. Learned the hard way when we were down in Chicago for a couple of weeks and when we returned to cabin, a god-awful stink greeted us when we opened door. Power had been out during summer heat from a storm and everything in refrigerator/freezer...

    Retirement Scenario

    As I have started to slow down a little, I told my kids and their spouses that one long weekend in late spring/early summer, is a mandatory clean-up, fix this and that, and repair winter damage, downed trees stuff, no questions asked. They are great about it because they can and do use it...

    Retirement Scenario

    From Park Ridge to Presque Isle is 380 miles. Good drive up there is around 5 1/2 hours with one stop in Westfield for gas. Bad drive is around 6 hours. We try to leave PR around 5 or 6 am and we are north before lunch and still have day in front of us. I try to keep it around 75 mph in the 70...

    Retirement Scenario

    You are so correct. I was 33 when we bought/built our cabin. 27 years of hard work making improvements and maintaining, but absolute enjoyment and our escape spot from normal work and life. Now at 60 years old, knee replaced, and years of wear and tear on the rest of me, I depend on the kids to...
