    Don't Try This at Home

    Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife Dana. What I came across was a pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your...

    One Heck of a Story

    On our recent snowmobile trip to the Mercer area I picked up on a story that many of the locals are familiar with, the crashes of two Cold War era B47 bombers about 10 miles south of Hurley. These were huge planes, the precursor to the B52. The two planes crashed within 4 miles of one another, 3...

    Video from Mercer, Wisconsin

    OK, I think we're up and running with video from our Club Ride in Mercer. It's a short one, a little over 2 minutes and it's safe for the workplace. You'll see some of the same pictures from the other thread but this gives you an idea of the trails and surroundings. Enjoy...

    Pictures of a Mercer Trip

    Just back from a weekend in Mercer on our annual Club Ride. Our lodging was at the Great Northern where one of the main north and south trails is right outside your door. Before I forget, a Big Thank You for the groomers of Iron County. Your trails were great throughout our visit. Stops along...

    Polish Sausage

    A customer asked, "In what aisle can I find the Polish sausage?" The clerk asks, "Are you Polish?" The guy, clearly offended, says, "Yes I am. But let me ask you something. If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian? Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst...

    Cost of the sport as whole

    My Magic 8 Ball says we'll see the end of snowmobiling as we know it before the demise of the Internal Combustion engine. I believe access to a trail system in the future will be prohibitive as urban sprawl continues. Couple that with the reliance on fewer volunteers that continue to age and I...

    Edna

    There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read: Dear God, I am an...

    Our Family's Second Snowmobile

    Our first snowmobile was a 69 Panther that was under powered and rather unreliable. Dad upgraded two years later with a 72 Panther that purred like a Cat. (No pun intended) Here's a story from SnoGoer and what they had to say about the 72 Arctic Cat...

    Happy New Years, Everyone!

    Out with the old and In with the new. Personally, 2018 was one of those years with a few highs and a few lows for me. I lost a favorite Uncle but gained a new Nephew. And don't get me started on the Packers Train Wreck...or the Stock Market....both would be good excuses to drink yourself numb...
