Looks like you got there to late. Fresh tracks means that they already went past. But then it does look like a nice place to just kick back and watch the woods do their thing.

I do a M&E in Milwaukee WI every mid March. The weather is normally not conducive to riding but it is nice to get together and at least talk to like minded Venturers about the upcoming riding season. Always get to meet a few new faces every year.

Love it, Thank you so much for sharing.

I have never yet had a battery die within the warranty period. I usually get close to double the warranty out of a battery. I always buy the best ones with the longest warranties.

I have never changed a battery because a calendar said to. I run them till they stop doing the job. I also have had the longest life out of good old Yuasa

That is just begging for a big VR logo on the side.

Congrrats on your impending retirement. I can only dream of what that will be like. Just don't forget us, keep coming back for more. I only have about 50 more years to go. I guess all I can do is to keep sending out SNOW balls. East seems to be the most fun...............

Wisconsin will be 40° on Christmas and we will still have a white Christmas. Sorry but you southerners just can not compete in any way with that.

I don't think that Facebook even has corners unless you are posting porn.

I got the new tires and wheels for my truck from Tire Rack. They came mounted, balanced with new TPMS and with the correct air pressure so all I had to do was to slap them on the truck and program them. Even with shipping Tire Rack was cheaper than anywhere local. I then sold the old tires and wheels that had 30K miles on them for about half of what the new costed me.

I have a Mauser with that stock and nearly the same break. I caught it before it was a complete break and added some reinforcement to that area. The one I have was severely cracked in that area and would not have taken many more shots to finish it off. The one I got was broken just from normal deer hunting and range use. If UPS lets you keep that one, I would just put it back together if I were in your shoes.

I did try the battery additive once when I was really poor and my battery died. It did get me another month before the battery was again no longer able to take a charge. Bottom line I would call that a failure. This was on my only vehicle so it was my daily driver. As for the high voltage "de-sulfating" My truck does that during normal operation, when I first start the truck it charges at 16 - 17 volts for a short while which is supposed to de-sulfate the battery. It then supposedly monitors the battery charge and will drop the voltage down to 12.6 as the battery reaches full charge so that it is only a maintenance charge so as to not over charge the battery. My thoughts, It is a gimic that don't work, the OEM battery was dead in just 37 months and 37K miles. Just out of warranty. My replacement battery is getting weak now at just 3 years old. So I would conclude that all that stuff don't really work and may even hurt a good battery. It is also my opinion that once the OEM bulbs burn out people seem to be doing a LOT of bulb replacement that I believe is due to that 16-17 volt charge rate after every start stressing the bulbs.

All the info in that book is readily available for free online with just a bit of searching.

I had to spend a week in Texas, in March, on a business trip, I nearly died from the heat. I can not understand why anyone would live down south. I find no logical reason to put up with life threatening weather for half of the year. I'll take a good old blizzard any day. I guess it all comes down to what one likes. If the whole world had the same climate it would be awfully boring and miserable. Good thing we have choices so we can pick what we like.

My machine does not work at all without your cold air. So yes you can stop the snow by simply stopping my supply of cold air. Good luck on your drive down.

I am blaming all this mess on @Yammer Dan He seems to have admitted that he sneaked up here and messed with things, just ask @cowpuc what he did. I am sneaky, I am using paper plates for dinner, that way I can get more food without breaking my weight lifting restrictions.

Been there done that. I have a pair of scissors that made that issue go away on all of my shoes.

Because even this kind of cold is still better than 100°. I can dress for the cold and still go out and play. When it gets to 90° and higher, I can only take off so much clothes before I get arrested, and it is still to hot for survival. There are a lot more people die from the heat than the cold.

Some testing to further isolate the blockage. 1) Crack the Banjo at the master to see if brake lets go. 2) Crack the Banjo at the caliper to see if brake lets go. 3) Crack the bleeder at the caliper to see if brake lets go.

BBBBUUUURRRRrrrrrrrrr I have never experienced more than -40 and that was only in an environmental chamber at work so I just had to walk out the door and into the next chamber that was maintained at 145F and 98% humidity to get warm again. The coldest the weather has ever been here is -26 and WC of -35 Hope you have a good heater in your ice shack. It looked like you also got a bit of new snow from this last little cloud that went by. There are a lot of the diehards out on the ice already around here. There are also some falling thru and needing rescue.

A man is never wrong, just ask my honey, she will splain it on ya. Wrong, never, in trouble, always. There is a difference...............

Yes I am still on the mend. My machines are out there just spinning out of control. It will be quite a while yet before i can lift much more than a dinner plate. Just went to doc for post op checkup, he said it was looking good but will take quite a while to get back to "normal?". I will be attempting to go into work tomorrow but I doubt if I will last more than a couple of hours before I have to head back home. They are happy with any time they can get out of me. I think I will be part time at least all of this week. There is only about 14 inches on the ground around here. The younguns will be over soon to do the shoveling while I sit in the window and watch.

Trouble is my middle name. I been causing trouble since the day I was hatched, Literally. I hit that cold air on my birth day and immediately squirted the doc in the eye, Slap my butt will he................

Now grab your honey and get back to plan A...............
