    GF is now released to a halfway house

    OK, I can see where this is going... I was gonna make a crack about "the Women of Walmart" but I'm not gonna do it. And all I can say is that it better snow pretty soon cause we're running out of topics on JD.

    things that you hear in Walmart

    So I was at Walmart earlier. A lady was looking at frozen turkeys, but she couldn’t find one big enough. She asked the stock boy, “Do these turkeys get any bigger?” He replied with a straight face, “no mam, they’re all dead now”.

    Anyone go Black Friday shopping?

    No, no, a thousand times NO. I will not GO on Black Friday. Did it once and never again, Pit of Misery for sure. Though I did venture out to my local hardware store for a pine board, if that qualifies then WOOHOO! Here's a Birds Eye view of Appleton's Fox River Mall on Black Friday.

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I want to wish all the members of the John Dee family a Happy Thanksgiving. If you're traveling for the holiday, make it a safe one. Our parents are gone now but still many memories of Mom in the kitchen, Dad asleep in the chair and the Lions and Cowboys on TV. We'll be staying in town this year...

    Brett is no Favre

    I'm all for giving Hundley a chance to shine but after 3 games I just don't see it happening. Bulaga is down again, the defense is no where to be found and for the first time since 1971 the Lions didn't need to punt for the entire game at Lambeau. Go Badgers!

    Packers & Vikings: thoughts & predictions

    Green Bay is favored by 3.5 on the road to our neighbors to the west. The Vikings have a good coach and always play the Packers tough but Monday night Bradford looked pretty bad against the Bears for as long as he lasted. I'm thinking Green Bay by 10 points in this one, I don't think Minnesota...

    Bears & nfl

    I thought he looked pretty good for a rook. He'll go through a learning curve like they all do but I suspect we'll be watching this guy for years to come. But I'm going to miss all those Cutler jokes and memes...

    Packers and Bears Week

    Politics aside, if that's even possible anymore, the players are asking the fans to lock arms during the anthem to express unity. Good Lord, Packers and Bears fans aren't that fond of each other to begin with, now you're asking for a group hug? They may set records for ejections and arrests...

    Packers and Bears Week

    The Bears are one dimensional, have a weak armed quarterback and their prized all-world draft pick is riding the bench. Just the kind of team that Green Bay can lose to. This could very well be one of those Trap Games that the Packers seem to have just about every year. The Pack is favored by 7...

    The Football Thread & Thoughts

    Alright! another season begins, finally... The colleges kicked off last weekend with Wisconny stompin the daylights out of Utah State. The NFL season begins on Sunday (actually Thursday night is the first game between KC & New England). And how old is Tom Brady anyway? Hint: Jimmy Carter was...

    Signs of the Apocalypse

    FARGO, N.D. (KVLY) -- You've may have heard someone say "adulting." The term is now a verb in the dictionary, and it means to behave like an adult. But it may surprise you how many ‘grown-ups’ don't know how to do basic adult things. Scrolling through Twitter it’s not uncommon to see...

    Pictures from the weekend; Lake Winnebago

    Hoping to keep things fresh on the John Dee Forums during the summer months, here's a few pictures from the weekend on Winnebago. After spending all of last week working at the E.A.A. AirVenture in Oshkosh we headed out Sunday morning to avoid the crowds. The first is a view of the western...

    Waupaca Chain O Lakes

    There are public landings but not many because the lakes are small, rentals are popular from places like Clear Water Harbor and Dings Dock. Lots of people from the Land of Lincoln on vacation. Kinda reminds me of the movie "The Great Outdoors" with John Candy except for the Bald Headed Bear of...

    EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh July 23/30

    Again this year I'll be part of the transportation and logistics team at Wittman Field, the home of the E.A.A. Fly-In called AirVenture. It's a great vacation destination and rather than try to describe it in words I'll let a couple of videos show what they have to offer...
