    Polaris Mutt Mod

    Years ago I broke my right wrist which needed to be reconstructed with pins and screws. I spent about 6 months in a cast so it would heal and be somewhat functional. I would have lost a snowmobile season had I not found an aftermarket conversion throttle from thumb to fingers. Worked well for me...

    Football's Winners & Losers

    Doesn't surprise me. Pretty much everything free for the taking in Chicago if you stick a gun in someone's face which is a daily occurrence.

    Football's Winners & Losers

    LaFlower should have taken the easy field goal at the end of the third to put points on the board instead of going for it when the offense was struggling. The Pack looked good in the fourth but without a little bit of luck, (missed field goal) there was a very different ending that was looming.

    It Must Be Getting Close

    Got my call from Land O Lakes Recreation yesterday. New Snowmobile is in and ready to be picked up or delivered. A little relieved. When my daughter spring ordered hers a few years ago, it was delivered until late December.

    The Leaves - They are A-Changin'

    100 degrees yesterday in Park Ridge IL. Supposed to hit 102 today. Plenty of rain here over the summer but I have a maple that is already somewhat red, and my oak tree has already started to drop some leaves so it's not a stress thing. Early fall coming.

    So.......I started a project, My new Garage!

    Heck of a project to take on yourself. I give you credit for the ambition and skill to do it. My back and knees hurt looking at the pictures.

    Keweenaw's Second meaningful rain

    I noticed the same thing in Presque Isle this week. Lake level is down about 4" and when we took a shoreline cruise around the lake my wife pointed out that the maples are starting to turn at the tops. Seems about 2 or 3 weeks earlier than normal. Hope to get the rain predicted for tomorrow...

    The Perfect Up North Property

    Where are you looking to be or do you have a preferred location/area in mind? The reason I ask is I have a friend in real estate and she is always telling me about new land for sale.

    UP Fall Colors

    First to second week of October is normally peak. With how dry it has been this year, it might be early. Anything past second week and they are coming down in the western UP.

    The Perfect Up North Property

    We started vacationing with friends at their cabin on a 100-acre private lake in Presque Isle Wisconsin in 1989. My kids were born in 90 and 93 and we continued to make winter and summer trips to our friend's cabin until 97. Their place is a 3-season cabin and there was one almost identical to...

    Play Ball

    Like I said indy, wrong! Doesn't teach 10-year-olds basics, fundamentals or sportsmanship. If the kid is a stud and can hit it a country mile, move your outfielders deeper and teach them to run and hunt the long ball. If it goes out of the park, congrats. My dad was always the manager of my...

    Play Ball

    Intentional walks at that age is so wrong. Let the kids be kids and play. I played park district baseball from the early 70s until high school. Intentional walks didn't exist. I don't remember but I don't think they were "intentionally" allowed.

    Now what ?

    Amazes me that some goof in South Korea would have interest in an American Midwest weather/snowmobile website.
