    New Year 2023

    So here we are again, the dawn of a New Year. We humans are the only species that recognizes time and it's passing. Speaking of which, we lost a couple of JD Members this past year, we'll miss the postings of Grub and FRNASH. For those of us on this side of the Rainbow Bridge, we move on with...

    Tomahawk area Update 12/30/22

    That's for sure. A lot of times these melt downs give me the Blues but so far I'm holding my own. Maybe because it's early but it would've been nice to get out there before New Years. Still lots of winter to come. Think Snow!

    Cops on Sleds

    The winter of 1916 brought with it Appleton’s first snowmobile. Contemporaneous reports indicate the Appleton Police Department needed to get innovative while traversing the city’s snowy streets out on patrol: “Police Department has obtained a Motor Sleigh. In order to combat the cold winter in...

That and the tall grasses of summer, die back and form a layer of insulation. If you're familiar with the method of Geo Thermal heating and cooling of a home, this...

    What is a cost for an oil change for 2013 ski "ace" 600 touring?

    Yeah, from my experience that clicking sound is from a dead or weak battery. Too little juice to engage the starter. Most likely time to move on to a new one.

    What is a cost for an oil change for 2013 ski "ace" 600 touring?

    Merry Christmas!

    It WAS a Merry Christmas at our house. Like most of us, I've had some doozies but this year was just about perfect. No drama, just good food, beverage, and a fire in the fireplace as the kids opened the gifts. The roads were terrible but we only had a church program to attend and then we...

    Yet Another weather WTF

    Abe, I respect your opinion and enjoy reading your posts. It sounds like you may have some experience with railroads. I have none. My point is how far do we go to protect people from harm's way? Closing schools? Sure, it's brutal standing out there waiting for a bus. Shutting down the railroads...

    Yet Another weather WTF

    Real Estate and Snowstorms must be all alike. Location, location, location. We're 40 miles south of Green Bay and the snow has been falling all day. On radar, the snows go all the way back to Oklahoma City and it's heading this way, slowly. Yet 100 miles to our west....nothing. I'm looking at 6"...
