A week ago we were hunkered down with a blizzard not seen in these parts since 1888. Today the temp is near 60, the streets are dry and we took the Spyder for a one hour ride. Go figure.... Wisconsin weather indeed! Just around town and a few country roads, felt good to be out in the sun and...

John, I thought you would like to see this. I hadn't heard of this before and thought it worthwhile to share. The video is worth a look as well. Gary http://www.wbay.com/content/news/Snowrollers--480256493.html

The cutaway you posted is the wrong side of the engine. The engine holds less than 4 quarts of oil and you're going to flush it with 5 gallons! The engine uses fully synthetic oil, are you going to flush with that or something else that's just lying around? Jeez, you know what they say. "If you...

Looks like Wisconsin in general and maybe Green Bay & the Fox River Valley were ground zero for this storm. Most of the schools here in the valley are closed tomorrow, most of the churches cancelled services on Sunday. I haven't checked but I suspect Walmart is probably open, the grocery and...

There's two drains on this motor and both are pretty small. Not sure flushing would work if the piece is larger than the hole. Also, from experience if you're using a vac to remove the oil you probably still have some oil in the bottom of the engine because of the Dry Sump design. I would open...

This post kind of dovetails with the thread about the "end of snowmobiling". I found these numbers on the IMSA website/International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association. If you're looking for a thread with more back-biting, complaining, wrong side of the trail & no hand signals, you're going to...

The Presbyterian church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrel infestation. After much prayer and consideration, they concluded the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will. At the Baptist church the squirrels had taken an...

Happy Birthday Abe. Thanks for keeping everyone around here on their toes.

Here's a story I ran across while looking for something else. A story that the locals of the Keweenaw probably have heard but for those that live elsewhere, maybe not. Click on the links that take you back to a stormy night in November of 1926...

When his son refused to get a job, the father insisted he join the Marine Corps. At the physical, the Doctor directed the reluctant recruit to read the eye chart across the room."What chart doc?" the young man asked. "The one on the wall!" the doctor said. "What wall?" said the young man...

snobuilder, you just pegged the needle.

Here's ya go fella's, all you had to do is ask.

I'm not sure the best place to post this on the forum, it did make me smile when I saw it, so here goes. This is a video which contains a very famous photo of the men that built the Empire State building. The photo is of the group enjoying their lunch break and I'll let the video tell their...

At the risk of starting another Oil Thread (God Help Us) I've got a question to throw out there. I do the oil changes on our vehicles and after purchasing the oil for the wife's car I noticed that it's labeled "high mileage" (in small print) but her car is only a year old with about 12K miles...

Technical Difficulties = Someone tripped on a power cord or spilled their coffee on the controls. John needs one of these...

Yesterday I was buying a 2 large bags of Purina dog chow at Target. I was about to check out when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. Since I had little else to do, on impulse, I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, and that I was starting the Purina Diet again, although I probably...

These are from our annual Club Ride that we do every year about this time. We choose the destination on snow conditions and available lodging for our group. This year we were based out of Spooner in Wisconsin's Washburn county. This first one is what I call the "Grand Daddy of all Snow Plows."...

After 35 years of marriage, a husband and wife (we won't mention who, OK) came for counseling. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the years they had been married. On and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness...

Just back from a two day visit to the land of the Loggers. The trails were Good to Very Good throughout the county on Friday and Saturday. The corners were blown out by the end of both days but that's to be expected with high traffic. The groomers fixed everything overnight and we were good to...
