I have the rest of the year off so I'm catching up on my "to do list" here. At the top of the list is to wish you a Merry Christmas. I hope yours is a safe and happy holiday with family & friends. Now that our parents are gone, our house has become ground zero for family gatherings. I'm fine...

Let me play Devil's Advocate here. The previous points are well taken for the 90's models but I would consider the early 2,000 machines as a Golden Age. Yamaha's Four Strokes and Ski Doo's Rev platforms gave us huge changes in ride and reliability. Can you believe it's been 25 years already? I...

Is this a generational problem? Are the younger people less likely to be civic minded? There's no doubt that our values have changed as the population gets older. Ask any Civic group of their membership and they'll tell you they're getting older and fewer of them. Snowmobiling is a Niche...

As you might expect, Miscellaneous has the most interest. When there's storms/snow, the Current Conditions jumps to the top. Vintage probably comes in a close third almost certainly due to Skiroule's continued posts of his restorations. A couple of thoughts on the pop ups and I have to be...

Congratulations Troy. Thanks for the pictures in recent months, stay active, spend wisely, and enjoy your retirement!

Likewise, have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season. And tell your Buckeyes to take it easy on Wisconsin Football, We're starting over like it's 1899.

Allow me to vent. Not sure what you consider "back in the day" but this website was upgraded a few years ago because the original could no longer handle the volume of traffic. I suspect our numbers have decreased due to no longer posting weather forecasts, etc. The current issues are another...

I've had the same thoughts. Our Visitor Numbers have been unusually high the last couple of weeks and that seems to effect the access.

Winneconne had some trespassing problems a few years ago so they're sensitive to sleds that don't follow the route through town. But the Fin n' Feather is worth the ride in getting there. By boat in the summer or by sled in the winter, it's all good!

Yeah, I wish I could do more but I'm primarily responsible for content. I can alert when we have issues but the nuts & bolts of I.T. are in the hands of someone else. In the old days I could call John or Text him and he'd have a fix within minutes. That's not the case anymore. The annoying pop...

The people at the Chaparral's Engineering were certainly thinking outside the box with some of their ideas and innovations. I don't recall seeing a dash with the speedo on one side and the tach. on the other. Nice fuel gauge too for that era.

Sorry Indy, I couldn't get out there on Friday because of Family Stuff. If our snowpack holds, I'll be out there soon!

Good name for it! Should probably add a "changing station" at the other end. ;)

A good read, thanks for posting, Magnumb.

6" + in the Appleton-Oshkosh area. Looks like my woodpile needs some attention.

I carry one. I've never needed it but I guess that's the purpose.

And a couple that wouldn't fit on the Original Post. Hand Crafted by the Keweenaw's m8man Everyone knows Wisconsin Football was a Dog this year. And the First Snowstorm of the season is a Whopper!

I've had this idea in the works for a few weeks now. As the end of the year approaches, we're taking a look back on the many subjects we've discussed, but in particular, the pictures that have been posted on JohnDee.com It's a random sampling of photos that members have posted, in no special...

I often do the same. I think it's important we recognize our progress rather than getting bogged down or fixated on a problem. A semi-lit room and beer therapy has solved many of the world's problems. I highly recommend it!
