    It's Getting Crazy Down Here....

    Nope. I have a friend that's still a cop on the job and he starts at 6 am. A couple of weeks ago the hoodies tried to carjack him on the way to work. He drives a Silverado p/u. Nothing really special but obviously they wanted it. They boxed him at a light. He said he ran numerous lights trying...

    And should they stop for lunch in Chicago, they better put on their body armor.

    Joke of the day

    So on my list of things to do, I had some maintenance to do on my truck. I called the auto parts store and ordered a case of trans fluid. I could not believe it when the delivery guy showed up at my house with a case of Bud Light.

    Mosquitos

    BIFEN I/T. It's what the commercial company's use. I think I bought it on Amazon last fall and if I remember correctly, it wasn't that expensive. I don't really care what it costs because you can't put a price on constant itchy, bloody mosquito bites and I don't want to be confined to the cabin...

    Mosquitos

    Arrived in Presque Isle yesterday afternoon and was shocked to still have the black flies/flying gnats. They are normally here for about a week in early to mid-May but they are still here. Mosquitoes are here but not too bad. I use the company Mosquito Authority to spray every 3 weeks and last...

    Walleyes for Tomorrow

    Years ago, I took my nephews out fishing for muskies on our lake. I explained the solunar table to them and told them to figure out the major feeding period for the next day. We went out at the start of the major and both of them caught a musky within minutes of each other. Luck ? Maybe but I'm...

    Memorial Day Thanks to our Veterans

    Its sad that some of the current and future leaders of this nation fail to understand what past generations, leaders, and soldiers did to ensure that we all breathe free air and are able to live life the way we want. Thank you to all of the people out there that continue to protect our nation...

    April 17th

    Didn't think I would be doing this again in mid-April. 15 inches in Presque Isle at 10 am and still coming down. Rain turned to snow last night around 9 pm. Drove up on Saturday from Chicago in shorts and a t-shirt because it was in mid 70s. Planned on summer prepping the snowmobiles but now I'm...

    Snowmobile Insurance

    Completely understand. My neighbor was my insurance guy for the house and cars for many years. (Farmers Ins. Co.) No claims but they jacked my homeowners for "Bad Experience" throughout the nation with hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc. Not my problem. I told my neighbor that he was a good guy...

    New sled ordered?

    March ordered a '24 Skidoo Grand Touring with the 900 ACE. I needed a 2-up at the cabin for guests and back-up sled. Parted with my '03 Skidoo MXZ 600 with the 1+1 seat that my wife rode with the kids on the back since new.

    Beautiful pictures, if it was December or January or February. Looks a little tough to get to the snowblower on the deck to clean that stuff up.

    Snowmobile Insurance

    Thanks for the morning laugh Gary! Every time I sign I wonder if he is still there. I almost think I will miss him when John and his tech guys finally give him the boot.

    Friday 3/31

    Johns forecast today shows some impressive snow hitting the Northwoods on Thursday/Friday and weather app on my phone shows Vilas County getting 10+ inches. Anybody left up there or those of you that live there full-time planning on one last ride? If I was there, I would be. Hope to read about...

    Snowmobile Insurance

    Thank all of you for the great information here. Now that the season is over, I guess I have a lot of homework to do. To address a few of your comments regarding my situation: Mezz, all snowmobiles are kept/registered in Wisconsin. I have a 21 Renegade 600, wife and son have 17 MXZ 600s...

    Vilas County Trails Close on 3/31 at Midnight

    Off the top of my head, I cannot remember the last time the Vilas trails made it until the 31st. Next trip north I will have to look at the cabin journals and see if I noted it in any of the years since 1997 when we bought up there. Great season and thank you to any groomers out there that might...
