Looks like we’ll have the website on AutoPilot at times this week as I’ll be working/volunteering at the AirVenture Fly In, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin over the next few days. We live about 15 miles north of the show so it’s hard to escape from the planes overhead, traffic, and visitors from around the world.
More than 700,000 visitors last year, so…Read More -

Congratulations to your nephew. At his age, I think my bicycle was still my main form of transportation.

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.

🤣🤣You must be a great guy then. Circle flies circle around a horse’s ass. It must just be a problem for me. 🤣🤣

Circle Flies? They really seem bad around here this summer. I’m outside everyday after work and they’re here everyday. Anyone else experiencing Circle Flies this bad? Maybe it’s just me.🤔

Canadian wildfire smoke has arrived here in the Keweenaw. Fine ash is actually falling here & the smoke smell is like it’s actually burning in our back yards. Nasty!

I have this poster in my shop/man cave. I also use to have the same jacket, but, the icing on the cake, I still have the TXI helmet worn in this photo shoot. The dealership that I bought it from picked up quite a few things from Thief River Falls. All of the helmets & gear used for the Arctic Cat catalog as well as their videos are then sold off…Read More

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

LOL!! Had some mixed gas with Klotz in it once and put it in my forklift could smell it for months after that LOL

I use Klotz in my weed wacker and leaf blower. Sometimes have to turn the exhaust towards me and inhale deeply a couple times. I’ve got a Klotz candle, but I can only burn it when my wife isn’t around.

I put it in my chainsaw but I only use that a couple of times a summer. A friend of mine also has the candle. His wife is not a fan.

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 More7 Comments-

The two dates you mention are the beginning and the last day of the Air Show in Oshkosh. If you’re just passing through, no problems, maybe a slow-down here and there, but should be fine. Appleton to Green Bay is all construction this summer, expect two lanes and slower traffic for that stretch. Take your time, stay alert, you’ll be fine!

Thank you Gary. Slow I can handle. Hoping to see a plane or two flying.. One of the memorable airshows I witnessed was in Eau Clare. It might have been right after they made 53 a divided hwy and was headed home to Chicago. The Blue Angels were flying and we all parked on 53 and watched 😁

Odd as it seems, even though I lived about 65 miles from Rochester for 40 years or so, I’ve never been there. It’s a decent sized city, you’ll have no trouble passing the time, If you have a lot of free time, head over to the Mississippi towns of Grumpy Old Men fame (Wabasha, Lake City, etc.). Beautiful area and only about an hour away from Rochester.

David, hopefully your wife will get the help and treatment she needs there, will keep her in my thoughts and prayers for success and good health at the Mayo!

Thank you Brian. BTW, met with the surgeon today for my 3 1/2 month follow up. Good news on range of motion but he is restricting lifting for two more months.. All I care about is it is back in service when snowmobile season opens 😉

Heading to Oahu, Hawaii the last week of July to see our son serving in the Army there. Looking for must see ideas from you guys that have been there. Pearl Harbor is the obvious choice. What else do you have for me?

Congratulations, he’s a brave young man. I don’t have the nerve. 😬 I don’t have a problem flying, but I’m not doing the flying. Kudos!
