Same with my Polaris genesis bye bye some time ago.

I’m a proud owner of an Evinrude 150 and it’s been trouble free since 2010 when I bought it new on my Ranger. I think I need a new impeller since it overheated once last summer. Dealer was too busy to service in Fall so I made an appointment to service first week of May and I had to sweet talk...

I have ponding out front in the yard had to send TrueGreen away , but glad he asked he said whole hood was flooded. Lots of damage wind and water in Waterford area and weather peeps say 2 more days of tstorms. I feel soooo bad for folks that keep bailing basements only to do it again the next...

Yep I did a sanity check with my neighbor across the street that does his own fertilization and uses Scott’s. He pays the same as I pay for 6 Truegreen applications for 3 he does himself. I used to use Menards fertilizer Scott’s way too expensive to consider. He likes to apply his fertilizer...

I mow myself and always will as long as I’m able. I used to fertilize myself use the Menards weed and feed do one heavy application and call it done while in Vilas. Now living in western Racine county I have evolved to using Truegreen they do a good job with 6 applications and are ready to...

Grass is greening in SE WI and ironically I haven’t seen any lawn treatment trucks in my hood yet Truegreen ,Weedman etc. I reworked my deal with Truegreen a couple of weeks ago figured I would see them right away. Not so but I’m good with that don’t like mowing before end of April. My neighbor...

I get it Paul April is terrible in Vilas restaurants, bars, motels are closed or closing so time to go south not a whole lot to do in the Northwoods and every significant April snow just delays Spring and the constructive things you need to do. I got fustrated with it year after year so filed my...

Me too

I lived in Phelps for 16 years and the biggest knock on that area riding east was little to no amenities from Phelps to Spread Eagle good luck finding a hotel , gas or a place to eat so little to no traffic what part of NE WI are you referencing that has all these bars and traffic I would like...

The snowmobile lake trail is picturesque as well.

Smart money buys on the Cisco Chain imo still have access to WI Northwoods restaurants and big box stores in Ironwood and a lot less people. I bought in Phelps on Spectacle Lake in 2004 while prices were sane 17 miles NE of ER so people need a reason to come there in summer and winter so pretty...

Do yourself a favor and purchase a Norco 10 genius and will answer every battery problem you have. Best $100 you can spend on a battery charger.

I hear ya Jim take away my local trails and that’s the final nail in the coffin for me. My current club does the best they can but I’m 79 now not much I can still do to maintain trails. I’m sure I’m the oldest member that I’ve seen that shows for meetings and I didn’t attend the last 2 meetings...

Started fine before I left definitely checked. Bad luck caught up to me in 15 below. 👎

Let me throw a knuckle ball at you. How about a restoring a Blade? I would love to hear your comments about the engineering of that puppy. I didn’t get into sleds until the early 90s so difficult for me to relate to your antiques but I do admire your abilities to give oldies new life. 👍

Did you like the scratchers? Did they work for you?I like mine have to be prepared now days for all conditions.

Boy oh boy Idk? Vilas and Oneida are closed and looking at the forecast combined with mid March I really wonder if these counties will open no matter how much snow falls. I think the biggest challenge to opening is heavy wet snow and gusts to 40-50 mph winds bringing down trees on all trails...

It’s time to go south if you can FL was my fav also tried Jamaica Ya Mon! Solar angles too high now for big snow just going to melt into a wet iceberg with water holes. I don’t know if Vilas has interest or funds to groom no matter how much snow they get probably stay closed barrels are off...

You just saw how fast warm temps and solar angles shut down the trails. Big snow from now thru April just slows down northern Spring. Things that have to be done in above freezing temps are delayed ,the flowers don’t grow and neither does the grass the piers need to be put in but can’t with ice...

Yep many that visit have no idea what it’s like to deal with snow removal on a daily bases. I had plenty in Phelps and cleared 3 decks a porch and a front walk to get to the car and my sled. It is a lot of work and at the end of the season things get smaller just nowhere to put the snow. I know...
