Sucks, screwed again

I only use Marine Stabil. The regulator Stabil is ok if you are turning over gas regularly but then why would you need it. If you still have some after a year or so look at it, you’ll see what I mean.

I should have noted as far as pricing being lowered I’m referring to commodities like food which does go up and down. I realize that other prices such as parts for cars, etc. may never go down once they have been raised.

Sounds good Bob, let’s try and fit that in.

That is crazy Tim, I’m sure you miss it. It feels more like Spring up here right now.

Darren, being a business owner myself I understand what you are saying. If, as they say inflation has dropped into the 3% range then prices for groceries should have drop back as well. Wouldn’t that make sense? That is one area where the mfgs are taking profits I believe. I get it that prices...

All for capitalism but when people have to charge their groceries on a credit card and run up a balance that cannot be feasible to pay off it’s just bad for everyone including corporate profits. Those consumers will and have moved on but I’ll tell you, they always remember who screwed them as...

Ice fishing this week, only 8-9” in the spot we were in. Normally a good 18” by this time of year.

I am not against anyone making good profit margins but I agree, the earnings reports on some of these mfg’s are crazy. Covid is gone, supply chains are back, gas is down, diesel continues to be an issue but believe we are being gouged.

The future is disturbing, especially with US consumers carrying 1 trillion in credit card debt at 20.7% interest rates. They have to use credit to buy overpriced goods, are manufacturers taking unreasonable profits?

Bob, now’s the time to get your repairs done, you should be good by summer. I remember you talking about your new grandson when we met for drinks, my daughters due date is 4/17. Good luck!

When you think about it, in 10 days it will be 2/15, trails typically shut down on 3/15. It doesn’t look good at this point for any snowmobiling up here this season. No storms or snow in the 10 day. I honestly can’t remember the last time it snowed?

Not much for Northern Wisconsin. Going to get colder next week but don't see anything that says big storms on the way which is what we would need to get the trails open.

Looking east, the 2nd picture was taken around the 21st of February, sun is starting to burn hotter now.

Here is the same picture from last February 2023. What a difference a year makes.

Currently 12 degrees and sunny at 7:30am, still looks like winter but supposed to be 44 with full sun today. It’s weird because yesterday it was 43 with sun and we didn’t lose as much snow as I would have thought. The snow is rock hard and clear and cold at night. I do think we will lose all...

I ended up with this deal last summer: 2010 Sylvan 20ft Like new shore station Trailer Full cover Free storage $17,000 It was my neighbors and they were getting old and offered it to me. I couldn’t pass it up, had to detail it but it’s a beauty. 50 hp 4s mercury on back. I gave it to my wife...

Yeah, what I said would be epic

Not me, I need siding for the garage

Its groundhogs day today, was watching national news from Gobblers Knob, PA. Puxatawny Phil said early spring for whatever that means. Here in the Northwoods the 7 day long term forecast is for temps in the 40's and sunshine, as you te sun is higher in the sky in the months to follow so it is...
