    AirVenture in Oshkosh / Page One

    Yes Sir! Thank you, Sir! This is a gold mine for military recruitment. All branches of the military are there to get the word out. Plus a great place and time for the vets to reconnect and remember. Heck, after a couple of fly-bys of the Raptors and Hornets, you might want to sign up yourself!

    Anything new on resto project list skiroule?

    I think what you're looking for is "drama" to hold the interest. Much like the Reality Shows on TV. Consider what's being said when the parts don't fit together? Old Riding Buddies show up and some tools go missing! Get the idea? Heck, if it works, sell it to a network and call it Survivor On...

    AirVenture in Oshkosh / Page One

    Kind of a big deal for those that live in this area. We'll get to the statistics in a bit but first a little background. Our namesake, John Dee was a fan of aviation and once was fortunate to hitch a ride in a P51 Mustang. John welcomed the news and events of the Fly In in Oshkosh which brings...

    thinking of anything new for upcoming season?

    "The Little Green Light" Sorry folks, but when the Heat Index is in the 90's, snowmobiling just isn't in the forefront of my mind. But the Little Green Light on the Trickle Charger winks at me every time I walk past my sled in the garage reminding me of cooler days ahead. As for new &...

    How to identify where a driver is from! One hand on wheel, one hand on horn: Chicago Suburbs. One hand on wheel, one finger out window, cutting across all lanes of traffic: Downtown Chicago. One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator: Illinois resident, headed...

    Shout Out to the Guys at NAPA

    One of my headlights on the Spyder went dark the other day. I talked with the dealer who had a two week wait for service, plus they didn't have the bulb in stock, they'd have to order it. Just for grins, I stopped in to my local NAPA store on the way home and BINGO! They had the bulb and at...

    Tool Box Art.......

    I like the way you think jr. I have two shops, actually just work spaces. A small one in the basement for my woodworking and the other in the garage. The small one pictured, I've had for years and have accumulated various stickers, magnets, dust, etc. I hesitate to add anything to my newer...

    AirVenture in Oshkosh 2025

    Each summer about this time I begin my plans to spend a week in Oshkosh at the E.A.A. Fly In at Wittman Field. July 21 thru the 27th are the dates if you're interested. This is just a short 15 minute drive from where we live, so yeah, I'm considered a "local". As a paid volunteer, I'm involved...

    Today's Trivia; Faster than a 45!

    In my feeble attempt at keeping things fresh at a website called Snow Central in the middle of summer, our Time Machine takes us back to 1954. At Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico on December 10, 1954, the Sonic Wind No. 1 rocket sled let loose 40,000 pounds of thrust and propelled United...

    Being, were in the slowest time of the year for a snowmobile website, here's a brainteaser (for some) to wake things up a bit. I recently bought a set of Countersink Drill bits On-Line for a woodworking project. They're just what the Doctor ordered and worked great! Now, for those with greater...
