I took the following picture Monday morning in Neenah, Wisconsin. These are the boat docks and breakwater on Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin. Normal levels of the lake are about 3 feet below the pictured decks, local locks on the dams are wide open with more to come. The lake itself is...

"What are the Odds" indeed. This is one of the things that separates you from the rest of us. Finding an obscure part from 50 years ago and giving it New Life! I'm guessing the UPS Driver must be a regular visitor around your place. 📦🚚 P.S. Your wife is wondering why all the good towels end up...

OSCEOLA, Wis. (WFRV) – One of the leading American manufacturers of powersports vehicles announced that its only Wisconsin facility is being closed. According to a letter sent to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Polaris announced that it is permanently closing its entire...

I'm reminded of a bit of irony since Skiroule joined us on this thread; Some manufacturers are telling us, "you got 10 years" before replacement parts are no longer available. Yet Kelly can find parts and components from 50 years ago for a brand that only existed for a few years. Either the...

Here's what I've learned since the original post. It doesn't appear to be a Dealer Issue, more so the manufacturer. The dealers are just being cautious to take on a job that may require parts that are no longer available. The basic stuff like Oil Changes, Tires, etc. services should continue...

That's what I said, when I called our local Can Am/BRP Dealer to schedule an Oil and Filter change for my Spyder. You've probably seen them in the showroom or on the road. The thing is a "gas" to ride, like a snowmobile in the summer time. Ours is nine years old, bought new, almost trouble-free...

Fish in the parking lots! It's the End of Days!

Well, ask the question and get a thousand answers. It's subject matter that has been discussed here from time to time and I thought since we're into the Off Season, it'd be a good time to discuss. The video runs about 16 minutes so maybe a beverage of your choice would be advised. (consumption...

Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago on highway 41 at road speed. Trailer was empty and hitch disengaged like yours. Trailer dropped down on the chains and I was able to exit at the first chance with the trailer whipping back and forth. The only damage was one pair of shorts and some...

Moles or Voles? Two different animals. Moles: Primarily eat insects, grubs, and worms. They create raised tunnels (spiderweb pattern) and volcano-shaped soil mounds. Voles: Herbivores that eat roots, bulbs, and bark. They create shallow surface runways, do not typically make mounds, and leave...

Our neighbors spray for mosquitos but we don't. Apparently the skeeters don't recognize property lines so we don't have any either. Win-Win!

We're moving into Early Spring in some parts. How's your lawn look? Some of us care too much, while others hack it off with any means necessary. I'm somewhere in the middle. I like a nice lawn but not to the point of being down on my hands and knees looking for problems. Anyway.... Who pays for...

85 and Sunny in Dallas, Texas. Then came home to a cold, gloomy rain. (but the dog was glad to see us!)

...I bet I know what Kelly is thinking, "I could probably restore that, it'd be like 1973 all over again".

Yeah, in some places, I'm not saying where, they might find a body in the trunk but here in Sconny, just beer cans and a flat spare.;)

We have a local company called "Sunk, Dive, and Ice" which recovers vehicles that fall through the ice during the winter months. With Lake Winnebago and surrounding waterways close by, there's no shortage of business when the ice begins to melt. The following three links will tell the story that...

Everything changes with time and snowmobiling is no different. Technology, Trails, Clubs, all will be challenged. Coupled with urban sprawl, I wonder how long the clubs in low-snow areas will continue to function. There's a lot of competition for time and money and as the folks step away, will...

It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace. To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol...
