    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    After the crash in 08 we decided to go with a series of CD's at various Savings and Loans in our area. Our intent was to take it out of all risk despite the lower returns. They've probably grown about 15 to 20% over time and we haven't lost anything. They're there for a rainy day or if an...

    Pictures of National Puppy Day

    This was our girl, Molly. She's been gone 10 years now but what a dog! She loved to go out in the boat and she loved the water. This dog would do a belly flop off the stern before I could get the anchor set. And this is our current Pup. Maggie is a rescue, she's a cross between a Yellow Lab...

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    “The three old guys were traveling on one of the oldest winter freighting trails in northern Saskatchewan. That trail from Flin Flon to the Churchill River that they were following was first established in 1928 when the Hudson's Bay Mining and Smelting Co. cleared and used that trail to freight...

    He's been gone from my screen for the last day and a half and I didn't change anything for settings or add-ons. Weird, huh?

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    Day 11 / Mar 16 A day off is never really a day off for the 3 Old Guys. They promised to check-in with a “live” trail update later tonight, but for now they are busy keeping these machines in tip top condition. Everything is working well, but a little focused attention post that under-the-hood...

    As of 5:33 p.m. CST our little friend is gone. At least on my view, he's been a constant every time I logged on but I don't see him now.

    Not much to report on our little friend. I'm now wondering if ALL of us are seeing this. It has never appeared on John's computer though Nora has seen it on hers. He's there every time I log on though he seems to move around some. Sometimes he'll be in the middle of the screen and sometimes down...

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    For those not of FaceBook, here's a picture of the guys. The caption says they're "smoozing" with the local law enforcement.

    3 Old Guys Ride to Alaska

    I think it was about a year ago we were watching that guy on a Thundercat set an endurance record for 24 hours. Now these guys come along with an epic journey of their own. They're camping outdoors when it's -19 degrees, cutting brush as they go...they're going to have a heck of story to tell...

    Houghton to Saint Germain, Wi wknd of 3/11?

    Yeah, I'm not going to debate the merits of our members or the lack thereof. I would suppose a cross section of JohnDee would reflect society for the most part, mostly good and a few hard cases. But let me put it this way....If a friend you knew called and asked for this favor I think most...

    Houghton to Saint Germain, Wi wknd of 3/11?

    LM, a couple of thoughts here. I understand your frustration and hope that you are able to close the transaction. To lump all of us together as uncaring is far from the truth. I've been here since almost the beginning and can tell you that our members are some of the most caring and generous...

    Houghton to Saint Germain, Wi wknd of 3/11?

    I think LM is speaking of the EasyMove Sled Dolly, not an entire snowmobile. It never hurts to ask...nothing gained, nothing lost even in this day and age. But yes, payment would be a Red Flag.

    It's About Time

    On the day we set our clocks ahead to recognize Daylight Savings Time, I came across a quote I think worthy of sharing. “The most precious resource we all have is time.” -Steve Jobs Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and chairman of Pixar, was one of the most famous and influential entrepreneurs...

    Where can one put their money these days as a fair investment?

    Another option is if you have a mortgage and cash on hand, pay it down. It's like paying yourself and then when this :poop: storm is over you can go back to investing.

    Can Dogs Tell Time?

    As a reminder to set the clocks ahead one hour unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii, two hotbeds of snowmobiling if there ever was. But to answer the question, Yes our dog can tell time. Dinner time is at 5 p.m. and every night at 9 p.m. she comes to me in the Family Room with that look...."I...
