    Real Trees or Artificial

    My grandparents had that tree at their home in Chicago. Had a mirror base, color wheel and would rotate. I thought that was the coolest thing. Wish I had kept it when they passed.

    Winters back, back again!

    I hope that's right. Checked AccuWeather this morning and they took snow out of the forecast for next week in the Northwoods and moved it to Chicago area, predicting 6-8".

    Real Trees or Artificial

    Artificial. Had a real one for one year when the kids were little. Couldn't figure out why I had a never-ending stuffed nose and wheezing from Thanksgiving until after New Years. Suddenly cleared up after the tree went out to the curb for garbage. The mentally challenged Labrador Retriever also...

    12-16-24 ONEIDA COUNTY UPDATE

    Its only December 19th. I don't think the season is "toast" as it really has not even started yet. I get it that last year sucked but the year before we were riding into mid/late March. I'm nowhere ready to give up on it anywhere in the near future.

    Light snow in Presque Isle since last night and still coming down. A little more than an inch but every little bit helps right now.

    Rumor has it….

    The Wilderness, Chicago Pub, and good news on Shillelagh, which I hear received all of their lumber for the new building and a planned opening by St. Patricks Day.

    Hmmmm, another restaurant/hotel for "her". Looks like "she" is starting a monopoly.

    Vilas County

    Riders out today on Presque Isle trails. They gassed up in town and headed north so I would imagine they were headed to UP trails. Our trails look flat and rideable, (barely) but with the temperature today and tomorrow, that thin base will go to mud and ice. The roads/crossings are down to bare...

    Rumor has it….

    We can hope. That was the jewel of P.I. back in the 80s and 90s. So sad to drive by it every day and see it abandoned. One of the P.I. volunteer firemen has been cutting the grass for the past few years just so it didn't look like such an eyesore. Would love to see it re-open as a bar/restaurant...

    Here we go again

    I'm hearing that the Sunday Lake Auto business owner, (who is a great guy and fellow snowmobiler) had too many near misses with the throttle jockeys blasting through his lot without a care for anything, had enough. Too bad. I don't blame him when idiots create a liability for his business.

    What year did you sign-up on the John's Site?

    2000, when we built our cabin up north. Was looking for info on U.P. trails and accommodations when I stumbled across JD site.

    Heere Meester Bleezard!

    6+" on ground in Presque Isle Wisconsin. Enough for me to ride to The Retreat Bar for lunch but I don't want to get shot at by angry deer hunters.

    Your Pre-Season Checklist

    Good God. Mine have been sitting in the garage since March of 2023. No miles in season of 2023/2024. Started the entire fleet of 7 several times throughout the spring, summer, and fall and brought then up to temperature or to the point that the garage looked like it was on fire from the smoke...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I I had mine done in 2020. I was 56 at the time. My surgeon was very hesitant saying I was too young, and I would risk wearing out new knee before I died. Xray and mri showed bone on bone. My wife lost her composure with the guy and went off on him asking what I was supposed to do until I was...

    Total Knee Replacement question!

    I had total right knee replacement in July of 2020. P/T started very next day, 3 days a week with therapist and more or less 7 days a week on my own. I worked hard at the rehab and was building a new deck at the cabin in late August. I was slow and had to take frequent sit-downs but at about 8...
