    Another boring winter day in northern Wisconsin

    I used to do both but.... I got totally bored with ice fishing. Then after going through the ice and having to walk 1.5 miles, I said F it, no more. Used to have great fun on the sled, but eventually blew it up. More of a go fast guy than a trail rider. I work in the cold, don't much want to...

    Another boring winter day in northern Wisconsin

    Yeah but.... No panhandlers, drug addicts, or grifters to deal with when you stop for a coffee. ;) And no homeless ( I mean un-housed ) camped out in front of work to navigate through. I'll deal with the snow any day.

    Another boring winter day in northern Wisconsin

    Nothing to do today. Today Snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Tonight Snow, wind gusts as high as 43 mph. New snow accumulation of 4 to 8 inches possible. Maybe I'll take a drive north to Hurley, visit a friend, take him out to dinner. Maybe drive over and watch those 30' waves on...

    maybe changing from 4.3 liter cobra to 175 Suzuki outboard on a Starcraft Islander Islander.

    A new 175 horse Suzuki will look much more beautiful, and be easier to hug.
