    I see 2-5" predicted for Presque Isle tonight. I'm trying to be positive and keep the faith. A couple of minor storm accumulations and then maybe a lake effect dumping and we could be riding by New Years Eve.

    When You Were Fifteen...

    If I remember correctly, there was a golf course in Glenview or Morton Grove, Golf Road/Harms Road area that allowed snowmobiles on the property, legally. We would ride there on the bike/horse trails from the Niles area of Howard and Caldwell by Tam O Shanter golf course. That was a pretty long...

    When You Were Fifteen...

    I was 15 in 1979. That winter the Chicago area got hit with a lot of snow. Schools were closed for days because streets were impassable, and busses could not move. Jumped on the snowmobile everyday, (74 Yamaha GP something or other) and rode from backyard to side streets to the bike trail where...

    John Dee

    It took me two days to process this and figure out what to say. My wife grew up next door to the Dee family in Park Ridge Illinois, and although she was a few years older than him, she said that he was a good guy as well as the rest of the family. I never met the man but admired his generosity...

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

    Hey Tim, I used Great American Door Company, (Dean Paris) over the summer to replace door springs and align door properly. Dean is located in Boulder Junction and a great guy. Price was very reasonable. He is the only one that responded to about four calls to find someone to do it.

    Tricks or Treats

    I'm right there with you Gary. 59 years old and those flying monkeys still send a shiver down my back. Not real fond of that witch either. My kids love to rip on me about that but since I know their fears, that ripping is short lived.

    Like 1984 All Over Again (Packers)

    And now the team is proving my point from another thread that LaFlower is not the gifted coach that everybody was worshipping while Rodgers was carrying the team.

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

    Looks great pclark. Especially the hand! Same thing happened to me last week in Presque Isle and my hand swelled so bad my wife had to take me to Howard Young E.R. No problem breathing so no epi pen but the swell, pain and itch was incredible. Could not move my fingers or wrist for a few days...

    New sled ordered?

    My Grand Touring is in at LOLREC. Went on Tuesday to put more money on it and schedule delivery. Don't want it until around Thanksgiving as I still have to get the boat out of the water and tuck it away in garage. Have to rearrange toys and make room for the new sled.

    Polaris Mutt Mod

    Years ago I broke my right wrist which needed to be reconstructed with pins and screws. I spent about 6 months in a cast so it would heal and be somewhat functional. I would have lost a snowmobile season had I not found an aftermarket conversion throttle from thumb to fingers. Worked well for me...

    Football's Winners & Losers

    Doesn't surprise me. Pretty much everything free for the taking in Chicago if you stick a gun in someone's face which is a daily occurrence.

    Football's Winners & Losers

    LaFlower should have taken the easy field goal at the end of the third to put points on the board instead of going for it when the offense was struggling. The Pack looked good in the fourth but without a little bit of luck, (missed field goal) there was a very different ending that was looming.

    It Must Be Getting Close

    Got my call from Land O Lakes Recreation yesterday. New Snowmobile is in and ready to be picked up or delivered. A little relieved. When my daughter spring ordered hers a few years ago, it was delivered until late December.

    Awful news. So sorry to hear that. Praying that it is not as serious as it sounds.
