http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=129618 They were talking about this on the weather channel. Probably could have saved a bunch of money and just asked J.D.

A bunch of random clips from last years snowmobile season. Cooke City, Lolo MT, West Yellowstone, and probably some other places. The breeze is the guy on the green turbo M8, and the one on the rope swing, FYI. <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/e-okSABTDVA" allowfullscreen=""...

ON SEPTEMBER 22nd, the beer started flowing at Oktoberfest in Munich, an annual Bavarian beer festival which confusingly begins at the end of September. Last year, over the course of the 16-day event, visitors glugged 7.5m litres of beer, sold at an average princely price of €9 ($12.50) a litre...

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/09/magazine/the-weatherman-is-not-a-moron.html?_r=1&hpw Really good aticle about weather forecasting, and how good it actualy is. I enjoyed it, figured others on this site might as well. Kind of long but worth the read. Dont wory, its not a bunch of typical...

THE proliferation of cellphones, satellite phones, emergency locator devices, GPS, and similar technology has led to an epidemic of backcountry rescues for people who have called for help they don’t need, risking the lives of rescuers in the process. Search-and-rescue outfits around the...

Thought this was an interesting way to think about exercise. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/04/the-surprising-shortcut-to-better-health/?src=me&ref=general For more than a decade, Gretchen Reynolds has been writing about the science of health and fitness. Her weekly column, Phys Ed, is...

Figured I would pass this along, it seems like there are lots of people out there afraid of China. From our friends across the pond at the Economist. http://www.economist.com/node/21553056 LIKE the hero of “The Iliad”, China can seem invincible. In 2010 it overtook America in terms of...

Lots of fresh snow, best pow day of the year for me.

Best I can tell 15 have been made, and 5 have been delivered. On a side note next time someone complains about the difficulties of getting at something in their sleds engine bay....it could be worse. This little puppy is comes to us from the good folks at GE. 67,500 pounds of thrust and a dry...

Got this off of yahoo this morning, my two favorite things marketing, and powered flight.

Love them hate them I don't particularly care, some may find this interesting. http://scientistatwork.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/16/preparing-to-live-with-wolves/

I have a great idea... lets do some stupid stuff, take video and post it to youtube!!! http://www.mininggazette.com/page/content.detail/id/522247/Group-vandalizes-golf-course.html?nav=5006 You want people to have a positive preception of snowmobiling, not the opsite.

Any one interested in the military, or the conduct of the war on terror, I would highly recommend taking the time to read this. I would not want to be on these guys wanted list...

This was my first trip to Crandon, I was blown away. Those trucks rip, power slides into jumps. I have never seen anything like it. These are a few pics I got. There must have been a few johndee folks there, what did you think?

This is cool. Taken a few days ago, with the same sensor that takes pictures of lake Superior every day. Who is up for a road trip? http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/gallery/individual.php?db_date=2011-08-25

Found this interesting. Its no wonder Europe can afford a lavish welfare state, the US subsidizes their defense. ON JULY 18th the British government announced a reduction to the country's army from 101,000 troops now to 84,000 by 2020. Altogether Britain's active armed forces—ie, excluding...

I just saw this on their site, figured I would pass it on. If you like to ski or board and are in the U.P. a lot might not be a bad gig. You only have to work 10 days to qualify, plenty of time for sledding...
