Probably safe to say that most everyone on John Dee.com enjoys nature and the outdoors. Wednesday is Earth Day, first organized by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson back in the early 70's. I think Earth Day means different things to different people. Some like to Hug their trees, others recognize...

I thought I'd throw this out there for some opinions. I just finished up the Post Season maintenance on the machine and trailer and am wondering about my trailer's condition. Here's my concern, I bought an Aluminum Triton trailer nine years ago. I call it the "Joe Six Pack" trailer because...

Here's some video to share from our Annual Club ride on February 15th. We logged about 150 miles with a group of around 20 machines in Winnebago, Outagamie, and Waupaca counties here in Wisconsin. We had a good mix of riders ranging in age from a 9 year old riding with his Dad to a couple of...

I came across this sign in an area Antique store recently. It measures about 12 inches by 30 and is in nice condition. There was no indication of the year, sometime in the 70's I would assume. I think it would look great in someone's shop or garage that's a fan of vintage machines. The "Asking...

Here's a video clip that was recorded this past weekend in Winnebago County, Wisconsin. If you ride in this area of the state you'll recognize some of the sights. This is the second year I've been recording with the "Helmet Cam thing" and have found that recording is the easy part but the...

I found this data on the International Snowmobile Manufacturer's Association website. A few surprises for me and some decent thought starters. Take a look for yourself. Gary In 2013 there were 144,601 snowmobiles sold worldwide; 48,536 were sold in the U.S. and 44,022 were sold in Canada...

Here's a picture of that Double Eagle that Bear mentioned. Twin 399's back to back. They have one of these in the Snowmobile Hall of Fame near St Germaine. A lot of other famous machines there too, well worth a visit anytime of the year.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, just behind Christmas on the Happy Meter. You've got all you can eat of turkey and dressing, all day football on TV, throw in a few beverage and a nap in your favorite chair and dang! That's what I'm talkin' about. I'm thankful for a lot of things...

I saw a sign along Oneida Street near the stadium that reads,"$10 Parking for Monday Night and $20 for Illinois Plates. That's kinda the way I feel when I go to Chicago... Anyway, I gotta like Green Bay's chances in this one. Both teams are banged up but Chicago is much thinner and the Pack...

I saw this article in SnoGoer and thought it might be of interest to the Vintage guys on John Dee. I have no experience with the John Deeres but as a child I recall a promotion that if you bought one of their new tractors you got a free snowmobile. I also remember the Green Bay Packers coaching...

We're staying around home this year, glad to avoid the traffic this weekend. I bought a new Weber Smoker after work today and plan on some Memphis Style Ribs this weekend. Probably take the boat out one more time on Winnebago to see the sights. Also time for our first batch of Gary & Ruth Ann's...

It's that time of year just down the road from us here in Neenah that the Experimental Aircraft Association holds their AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This is one of those things you have to see once in your lifetime. War Birds, Home Builts, Modern Military, you name it. It's the Busiest...
