    Thank you for the Journal Nora

    Thank you for the update. The memories are most definitely the healing. Recalling them today as painful as it may seem will help cement them for years to come when the mind is healed and wanting to reflect on them. As for a sign off you kind of said it. The Dee g’s. And now you know why they...

    electric cars

    Speculating on my part: delaying the loss on the books when one sells. The BEV sales have taken a dive. I returned my leased BEV in December (4 months early) and the mfr has yet to pick it up from the dealer. The residual/ buy option price is about $7k higher than market value and they had no...

    Squatters Rights

    My question on it has always been “at what point does it transition from trespassing to squatting?”. When I was young my grandparents had 5,000 aces in northern WI. This meant that they landlocked many small lakes. The locals would have nothing to do with that so they made paths to access...

    TIME TO CALL IT ?

    Just remember that it is lake effect so 12“ of fluff is only 1“ compacted. Most rocks, stumps and ruts are taller than 1”.

    Wisconsin Gov. Evers announces support

    Buying votes imo. Government intervention usually does not end well. I watched debt cripple (midwest) farmers while milk subsidies built the mega dairies in Calif and Texas years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I empathize with these businesses. The one week we got to ride it was crickets in the...

    Still "might" get a week of riding in 🤞

    8 years ago my right arm kept “like falling out of socket”. It was September and I thought I should have it checked out. MRI results went to surgeon and I got a call the next day to go over the results. He had me move my arm around and asked about my level of discomfort. No different than the...

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I love snow! Summer just makes me sleepy. My life has revolved around these 3 precious months every year. 4 years ago my ability to walk degraded quickly between the Milwaukee snow show and the Novi snow show. A month later I had back surgery and was told I could Not snowmobile that season...

    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    Schoolcraft County & Tahquamenon (TASA) are both locking their gates. These gates are on “snowmobile only” trails. I applaud them to preserve the trails as well as landowners from illegal ORV activity. Just cancelled Next week in Munising. 3rd cancelation this winter but on a bright note, we...

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I wanted the 590 but in 2015 the entire midwest had 2-3 units that dealers would not let go. My dealer had the 900 on display and gave it to me for less than a 590.

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    I have a older Ranger 900. It is primarily utility for the yard. The downside(s) to a SxS in my opinion are: 1) it’s big. You can only go on ORV (Jeep) designated sized trails and forest roads here in Michigan. I thought I would take it to the UP to summer explore the snowmobile trails, but...

    Refrigerators

    Like tv’s & AC’s, there are only a couple manufacturers. All the brands are owned and produced by a few mfr’s overseas. GE was bought out about 10 years ago.

    Finally some real EV/Truck stats and...... WOW!!!

    You heard correct. Lithium batteries can be damaged charging them when they are internally below 32 degrees (generally). My EV battery bank has an anti freeze heating/cooling system you should activate prior to driving off in sub 32 temps.

    Illinois Tolls Increase Again

    Lotsfire. My transponder expired during Covid and everything was shutdown. Finally getting hold of customer service and they gave me a new expiration date. Interesting about NY. I know their whole system is transponder with no booths. Over my career I had numerous deals come across my desk to...
