Sunset over Neenah, Wisconsin

Who do you know needs a shirt like this?

My new rear bumper for the 2026 Kawasaki Ridge Platinum Ranch Edition. For some reason it didn’t come with one. Chose this heavy duty beast with LED lights in it. The bumper is a product of Extreme Metal Products-EMP. Thank you to Chad and his service department at M&M Powersports for their top notch service.

Some not so deep thoughts on a Sunday night.

August has arrived and it means that I’m starting to make some noises about getting my project painting done. The first step in setting up my “paint booth” is to move some sleds into the house garage to give me some room to paint.

I don’t normally see most of these sleds on a regular basis a…Read More

A little project diversion here. Finally picked up this little beauty today. Looks like the 2027 project is locked in. Long drive, but it was worth it. Nothing like that new sled smell. Gotta love the free-air sleds.

That sure looks like something Kelly would be riding……how bout it K Man?

Juuuust a little too close……

We had family visiting for the Air Show in Oshkosh last week and I took a day off to show them another of our local attractions. In the second photo, mowing the grass at Lambeau.They use four walk behind industrial mowers. I would’ve thought they have some big Zamboni type, but nope, they mow the grass the same as you and me and not one dandelion…Read More

Correct me if I’m wrong. Are the seats getting smaller as our butts are getting bigger?
(Asking for a friend)

Really enjoying Gary’s event photos, amazing stuff! You Arctic Cat guys also have to be lovin’ this. The new ZR White Tiger. Awesome looking sled!

A drunk man comes home late. His wife sees him and angrily exclaims, “Are you drunk again?!”
The man shakes his head and answers, “No, I am not drunk!”
“Okay, then prove it. There’s a clock over there. Can you tell the time?”
“Of course I can!” says the man.
He turns toward the clock and yells, “Hey! I am not drunk!”

Here’s a link to the Remote Cams that run 24 hours a day. Boeing Plaza, Warbirds, Sea Plane Base, and everything else. The next best thing to being there…https://www.eaa.org/airventure/live

A steady stream of Aircraft lined up in Arrival Mode for AirVenture. This was Sunday afternoon.

Proud Uncle here! My Nephew, Ben received his Pilot’s License this week. Congratulations young man, the sky’s the limit and welcome to AirVenture in Oshkosh!

I was on the grounds of the AirVenture Fly In from Oshkosh today. The smoke was so bad over Wisconsin, all traffic was on IFR. No visibility to fly.

It’s worse today. Here is a shot from this morning at the boat launch in Lake Linden. You cannot even see across the short distance to the opposite shoreline, forget about visibility when you get out to the open water, crazy!

Wow, that is some thick smoke! Don’t breath! But seriously, be careful. Jon, I don’t know about the Circle Flies. We have our share of fly varieties but I don’t think we have those.

Brian, I’m adding a post with another photo of the rear suspension to give you a little different angle. As you said, there is really no shock dampening on the front swing arm.

The curious thing is how it all really works. The coil-over provides all the springing on the rear of the suspension by pushing against a fixed shaft that is only c…Read More

Anyone else feeling you need a break from the summer heat?

A couple from Man’s Best Friend today…

I doubt anyone else does this but I find that if I put a couple of squirts of Klotz in the lawn tractor gas tank when I fill it, I get a whiff of winter every time I fire it up. It really helps me get motivated to cut the grass .

On the Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” project.

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. Decided to create some fireworks of my own Saturday night (at least from a vocabulary perspective) and tear down the rear suspension.

There’s a lot not to like about the condition of the suspension. Some stuff is OK but I don’t think some parts can be…Read More

What would you do in Rochester MN? Wife finally got accepted by Mayo to evaluate wtf is going on with her leg.
So happy on so many levels first being her well being but she finally will have to travel and get in the camper! I sold the “Van Cave” and bought a travel trailer as she mentioned she “might” travel with something bigger.. (even though…Read More

Happy 4th Everyone! (Thanks Gary for a website I can sign into today!)

Trying to figure this forum posting out. I posted a couple time yesterday on the general forum and actually attached a picture but I don’t see my posts in the General Discussion community?

Happy and safe 4th of July week to everyone, The little guy is coming up to our place this week, he’s been talking non-stop about going to his Pop and Yaya’s house!

Does anyone have a preference for a chainsaw chain sharpener? It’s kind of and art that I haven’t quite mastered yet. I won’t even cut wood without a sharp chain, i have about four chains, with typically 2-3 sharp and ready to go.

I have been taking them to my local hardware store in Boulder Junction and they do a good job, they charge around…Read More

Brian, you keep getting those grandkids out there. In what will seem like no time at all, they’ll be this age and loving fishing.

The Kawasaki “Kawa-Bunga” Project:

As hot as it is, why not think sleds , so we’re talking egged-out suspension holes, caused by years of pounding.
There are a number of solutions, depending on the mounting design, including welding/brazing. Not having the ability to do either, I have to find other means. This will take a couple of post…Read More
