OK, here's your chance to be the judge and jury. This video was shot on Highway 41 in the Fox Cities just north of Appleton which is now part of the Interstate system in Wisconsin. If you've ever driven it you know it's fast and there's a lot of other people going in the same direction. Some of...

Just down the road from us in Oshkosh, Wisconsin is home of the E.A.A. the host of one of the largest Aviation shows in the world. They announced the dates this week, July 25th through the 31rst, so if you're on vacation that week, circle that on your calendar. I found out this week that I'll be...

I haven't watched SNL for years but this past weekend they did some comedy that was close to home for some of us. Fond du Lac doesn't have a TV station but the folks in the Big Apple probably didn't bother to check. Still, some funny stuff if you can laugh at yourself. Here's the link to watch...

Here's a picture of the Mackinac Bridge with a Blue Ice Jam. Something I hadn't seen before, experts say it's caused by a couple factors and has to do with the size and shape of molecules in the ice crystals – and how they interact with light.

The video shows quite a bit more than the Yamaha version that's been floating around but not a lot of details. Just creating buzz I suppose as this winter comes to an end. A new engine and I think I caught a new Gauge Pod on one of the models too. Click on the link to see the New Doo's for 2017...

We had a couple of cars hit by trains following the snowstorm on Monday. The crash in Green Bay looks pretty violent, the one in Appleton is more like in slow motion. The good news is nobody was hurt and here's a link to the stories...

So what's on your Snowmobile Wish List this year? More than anything I'd like to see some Cold Weather and Snow but it's looking like we may be "scrooged" on that one. I did splurge and bought some new boots this year, they're the new ones from Ski Doo called TEC + otherwise the sled and gear...

It's been 40 years since the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior. Below is a link to the Gordon Lightfoot song with video of the great ship and another link that is a timeline of the day of the sinking including weather maps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgI8bta-7aw...

Here's a few print adds from more than 30 years ago compliments of SnoGoer magazine. This was during the time I had taken a break from snowmobiling because of career, family, etc. so I'm not too familiar with these models. I didn't realize that John Deere was still making sleds in 83...

Sure has been a lot of confusion over this but just in the nick of time my copy of the Wisconsin Snowmobiler came in the mail. It's the magazine that's put out by the AWSC, Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs and the following picture details where to get your Trail Pass and how much it...

I found this story on the History Channel, this would've occurred some 20 years after the Great Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, both caused by similar conditions and circumstances. The town of Hinckley, Minnesota, is destroyed by a forest fire on this day, September 1, 1894. A total of 440 people...

Each summer about this time I share some video from an event just down the road from us in Neenah, the E.A.A. AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It's one of the largest Fly-Ins in the world, truly impressive if you like to be up close to aircraft and the people who fly them. This year's event...

According to the instructions it's supposed to be placed at the bottom of the windshield. If you don't have a windshield, placed somewhere prominently on the hood. Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I have a Doo Insignia on the bottom of my windshield and it looks a lot better than this but what...

Been kind of slow on JD lately so I thought I'd add something new. This is a link to an article in SnoGoer this month. If you're into early iron and racing of the early 70's you'll likely enjoy the story. Honestly, I'd never heard of the woman but she sounds like a real character in snowmobiling...

Happy Easter everyone!!

A Weekend in Mercer I thought I'd share our experience of the past weekend in Mercer, Wisconsin. This was our annual Club Ride when we try to pull together as many members as possible for a weekend of riding. We stayed at the Great Northern Hotel which can be considered "snowmobile friendly"...

This video gives new meaning to Drive it like you stole it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlHSuntlpxE

Are you kidding me, too much snow has shortened the Soo I 500! In this miserable Snow Starved winter of 2015 the I 500, 500 laps on a one mile oval had to be shortened because of poor visibility. Here's the link if you want to read the story as I borrowed it from SnowGoer...

Can anyone venture a guess what it means when the Groundhog bites the mayor? http://fox11online.com/2015/02/02/jimmy-the-groundhog-turns-on-the-mayor/

OK, so we're one game away from the Superbowl. We got a one-legged quarterback up against the best defense in football. Green Bay has some weapons but I'd feel a lot better if Aaron was able to run from the pocket. The Packers are a more than a touchdown underdog but "on any given Sunday..."...
