    Dorothy Mercer, the fastest woman on snow.

    Been kind of slow on JD lately so I thought I'd add something new. This is a link to an article in SnoGoer this month. If you're into early iron and racing of the early 70's you'll likely enjoy the story. Honestly, I'd never heard of the woman but she sounds like a real character in snowmobiling...

If you hover your cursor over each of the buttons on the toolbar you'll find the one that says "Insert Image". That's the one that John circled. Click on that button and it will take you to your...

    Too much Snow - I 500 is shortened...

    Are you kidding me, too much snow has shortened the Soo I 500! In this miserable Snow Starved winter of 2015 the I 500, 500 laps on a one mile oval had to be shortened because of poor visibility. Here's the link if you want to read the story as I borrowed it from SnowGoer...

    Packers and Seahawks, what do you think?

    OK, so we're one game away from the Superbowl. We got a one-legged quarterback up against the best defense in football. Green Bay has some weapons but I'd feel a lot better if Aaron was able to run from the pocket. The Packers are a more than a touchdown underdog but "on any given Sunday..."...

    Packers and Cowboys: Thoughts & Comments go here.

    So here we go...The Tundra's gonna be frosty and the colder the better when the Cowboys get off the bus. Probably a lot of references to Ice Bowl II but it's not going to be that cold. -13 the last time the Cowboys played the Packers in Green Bay for the 1967 playoffs. Green Bay is the early...

    39 Years Ago to the day

    Considering our current forecast I find it interesting that it was 39 Years ago to the day on Monday that the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in an early season Winter Storm on Lake Superior. With the current storm approaching it seems to add a little familiarity. Thoughts and Prayers for the families...

    Pictures from the Packer game....

    A couple of pics from Sunday's game with Carolina. 78,000+ watched the Pack beat the Panthers until they called off the dogs and played the 2nd and 3rd string. Always great to see a game at Lambeau but the prices are nuts, 8 dollar beers and a "Cheeseburger Combo" for $15.75 I'm not sure what's...

    Packers Video

    A friend of mine sent this to me and I thought I'd share it. Green Bay fans will like it, Bears, Lions, and Vikes not so much. It's all in good fun and with no game on Sunday it looks like we'll be watching the Bears and Lions games anyway. Have a great weekend everybody...

    Do you know what this is?

    OK guys, here's something to help pass the time while waiting for the first frost and the leaves to turn color. One of my summertime hobbies is to explore old Railroad grades left over from the logging era in Wisconsin. Armed with a metal detector and small shovel I'm always surprised at what...

    So, I played "hooky" today...

    I spent a good portion of the day in Green Bay at the Packers Training camp practice. The first picture is one of my "Walter Mitty" moments when I bumped in to Packer's CEO Mark Murphy outside of Lambeau. Standing next to the Lombardi Statue. The Ray Nitschke Practice Field. Brian Bulaga...

    ClaytonFest: Video from a Club Fundraiser

    It's been kind of slow on here lately so I thought I'd share some video from our Club's Fund Raiser last weekend. We host a festival in a small farming community in nearby Larsen, Wisconsin. It's a tremendous amount of work but it brings in much needed funds for maintaining our trails and...
