    Careful with cutting up that log in the the third pic with the houses. Judging by the black stain, you're going to find some iron in it.

    I have a 3L Vevor model with a heater. My kids are on a rowing team (Go Muskrats!) And I'm the guy keeping a rotation of 8 Honda 15Hp outboard motors going. 4-5 on the launches and the other 3-4 on the workstand. I just started this year and have found that I need to completely clean the carbs...

    Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown!

    I actually prefer harvesting a nice, juicy doe over a big, angry, testosterone-addled buck. They taste way better. 😉

    Yeah. We think the rut's been late this year in SW Wisconsin

    We did well opening weekend. The boy & I were out for about 45min and got this old boy. 177yd out by our range finder. 19" spread & definitely the biggest bodied deer I've ever taken. I felt a bit bad because he had seen a LOT of fighting for dominance & his belly showed lots of scars from...

    Found the pics. With the snow, it looked like I murdered a log out there.

    I actually *had* pics of it somewhere - the slabs were stunning.

    Question: When milling, how often do you touch up your milling chain? I borrowed a coworker's alaskan mill & 395XP to mill a big ash log & felt like I was sharpening every other pass. Sorry- no pics. It was a really big log - 32" in diameter & 8' long. I cut the first board too thick - 16/4 and...

    Is there a Johnson Sea-Horse in there? How corroded are the points on that baby?

    I REALLY like how you were able to back right up to your splitting area & just buck the logs up while on the trailer, roll them off & keep on cuttin'

    I did a little fall color sightseeing today. Colors are coming in nicely in South Central WI.

    Also call MDEQ Michigan's EPA I recall you're in MI, correct?

    WTF? Did he shoot that in June/July?

    I often struggle to get my beers to ferment down all the way. They usually go crazy in the first week or two but slow and stop to the point of just sitting there. Here's my 2021 Holiday Cheer - smoked porter with Door County cherries on secondary. It was initially VERY cherry forward with a...

    They were pretty meaty! We should have thrown the perch back but we had caught them early on in the day and the fishing was SUPER slow. Then around 3p, the crappies just turned on & were biting on a bare jig.

    Yep! It was in N. WI and we put a pretty good dent in the volume of the booze. The Basil Hayden's was for sure a sipping/sampling as was the Yamazake, Eagle Rare, & Glenn Fargo. The VOB, Dickel, & Hatch were more amenable to mixing cocktails. Bloody marys out on the ice & philly-cheese venison...

    Last weekend, I went on my annual ice fishing trip with two friends & a family member. Pic #1 is opening night. Everybody shows up & starts pulling booze out of their bags. Interestingly enough, the Very Old Barton 100 proof was picked most often through the weekend because it was a nice mixer...

    Quote #1 was (theoretically) ascribed to Chuck Yeager when he was a test pilot. "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing...if you can use the plane the next day, it was an OUTSTANDING landing." 😄 And I'm in no way interested in being a bold pilot. Too many stories of pilots getting...
