Long before the Ram, Dodge gave us the Power Wagon and here's the pics and the story of one that's been rebuilt for well over $100,000. Hey, this is a Chrysler product we can actually believe Clint Eastwood would drive. The Legacy Power Wagon is a customized version of Dodge’s 1946-1968...

Here's a few pics for those that couldn't make it. I'm not a big fan of the Sled Wraps but coming from Wisconsin I enjoyed the first two pictured here.

In the second poll we're asking you where you ride. For a few fortunate ones, you can ride right from your front door but most of us have to chase the snow. We broke it down into states and regions. Where do you ride the most often?

from the History Channel The most devastating fire in United States history is ignited in Wisconsin on October 7th in 1871. Over the course of the next day, 1,200 people lost their lives and 2 billion trees were consumed by flames. Despite the massive scale of the blaze, it was overshadowed by...

I saw this story and thought it might make for some discussion here on J.D. I showed my wife this story and asked her how much she weighed...and that's when the fight started. So, here's the story but I urge you to proceed with caution. Next month is the annual North American Wife Carrying...

They call it the last Holiday Weekend of the summer. Kind of sad to think the summer is coming to an end but I won't miss the heat, football season is here, and we're that much closer to the cool Autumn weather and eventually snow. I have the Smoker going today with Pulled Pork and a Carolina...

Neenah, Wisconsin: Lots of tomatoes, but no ripe ones yet, the plants are 5 feet tall and braced. Cucumbers are gigantic, we've made two batches of pickles thus far, 22 jars. Beans are mostly a failure, not sure why. Just not producing this year and the plants look healthy. Banana Peppers...

It's set for July 23rd thru the 29th and is just down the road from us here in Neenah. If you're in Wisconsin, on vacation, or able to call in sick for a couple of...

Just back from a week's vacation in Northern Wisconsin. One of our stops included the Snowmobile Hall of Fame near St. Germain. I've always wanted to see the place and when we found ourselves nearby, my wife who has no interest in snowmobiles, thought it'd be fine to stop for awhile. We/I spent...

I'm glad to hear this turned out OK, could've been worse. Snowmobiling in June? 90 degrees in the shade? Really? TOWN OF ELDORADO — A 45-year-old man crashed his snowmobile Friday, injuring himself and his 8-year-old son. At about 8 p.m. authorities responded to an accident on Dike Road where...

Here's a story that's making a lot of local news in northeast Wisconsin today. Not sure what the noises are, could be related to the crazy warm weather, take your best guess. Here's the story from the Appleton Post Crescent. Clintonville explosions rattle Wisconsin city for second night...

It's the end of the season for me. Heck, it never got started. Along about the middle of February I conceded the season lost. Then a late winter storm provided my first and last ride of the season with two weekdays of low traffic and groomed trails in northern Wisconsin. Outstanding! I believe...

I'm not much of a race fan but I found this blurb on the History Channel website and thought it worthy of passing along. Feb 22, 1959: Lee Petty wins first Daytona 500 On this day in 1959, Lee Petty defeats Johnny Beauchamp in a photo finish at the just-opened Daytona International Speedway in...

We'll here's a new one for me. Our dog was just in for her annual checkup last week and the vet suggested we try the Thundershirt for anxiety problems. Huh? I've heard of Thunder Cats, Thunderstorms, Rolling Thunder, but Thundershirt was a first for me. A little history. Our Yellow Lab started...

OK, the last one. I'm getting writer's cramp and eye strain... I've heard they called them Skunks because of the white stripe, it's a 73 TNT according to the signage. The Thundercat is next followed by the Manta, Motoski and Merc. Seeing these old machines bring back a lot of memories and fun...
