Anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where Newman was storing mail in Jerry's basement because he was too lazy to deliver it? Well, we have a small scandal in the fine little town of Neenah, Wisconsin. Read on. Wisconsin mail carrier probed after allegedly dumping GOP political mailers By...

A couple of pics from Sunday's game with Carolina. 78,000+ watched the Pack beat the Panthers until they called off the dogs and played the 2nd and 3rd string. Always great to see a game at Lambeau but the prices are nuts, 8 dollar beers and a "Cheeseburger Combo" for $15.75 I'm not sure what's...

A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought I'd share it. Green Bay fans will like it, Bears, Lions, and Vikes not so much. It's all in good fun and with no game on Sunday it looks like we'll be watching the Bears and Lions games anyway. Have a great weekend everybody...

OK guys, here's something to help pass the time while waiting for the first frost and the leaves to turn color. One of my summertime hobbies is to explore old Railroad grades left over from the logging era in Wisconsin. Armed with a metal detector and small shovel I'm always surprised at what...

I spent a good portion of the day in Green Bay at the Packers Training camp practice. The first picture is one of my "Walter Mitty" moments when I bumped in to Packer's CEO Mark Murphy outside of Lambeau. Standing next to the Lombardi Statue. The Ray Nitschke Practice Field. Brian Bulaga...

Guess I'll start things off with our Father's Day Greetings. Here's to those that protect, nurture, discipline, and generally keep a roof over the heads of the next generation, your kids. My daughter's birthday coincides with Father's Day so it's easy to remember and we celebrate both. This...

It's been kind of slow on here lately so I thought I'd share some video from our Club's Fund Raiser last weekend. We host a festival in a small farming community in nearby Larsen, Wisconsin. It's a tremendous amount of work but it brings in much needed funds for maintaining our trails and...

Probably safe to say that most everyone on John Dee.com enjoys nature and the outdoors. Wednesday is Earth Day, first organized by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson back in the early 70's. I think Earth Day means different things to different people. Some like to Hug their trees, others recognize...

I thought I'd throw this out there for some opinions. I just finished up the Post Season maintenance on the machine and trailer and am wondering about my trailer's condition. Here's my concern, I bought an Aluminum Triton trailer nine years ago. I call it the "Joe Six Pack" trailer because...

I came across this sign in an area Antique store recently. It measures about 12 inches by 30 and is in nice condition. There was no indication of the year, sometime in the 70's I would assume. I think it would look great in someone's shop or garage that's a fan of vintage machines. The "Asking...

Here's a video clip that was recorded this past weekend in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. If you ride in this area of the state you'll recognize some of the sights. This is the second year I've been recording with the "Helmet Cam thing" and have found that recording is the easy part but the...
