The rain gets a little hard around here in November.

Time flies...ya, 3 months ago. Up North, you know there is an old saying about the weather changing if you wait a minute. The snow melted a few minutes later.

Our brains have shifted away from boating to "Tweener Season" And trail rides will become the focus as the color comes out in the woods!


Ok I posted this one a while back, but in the off season I am learning to post immersive 360 video. If you open this new link on your mobile, you can change perspective by moving your device, or dragging the video.

If you open this link on a PC, you can change perspective by dragging with your mouse. If you have a VR headset, you should be able to move your head along with the video.

I will be re-editing my sled videos from last year and collecting new footage this season to give viewers the full perspective of trail riding in our neck of the woods.

Feedback welcome!

Getting some of that down here today.
I'm filled with anticipation! Gotta do oil and lube changes on the General, and have a cab heater on order. And then it's off to full sled maintenance mode. It's so close I can taste it!

I am lucky enough to get to do my exhaust donuts on my Apex this year. At least it's not every 4000 miles like my previous Apex. Fired up the gas furnace in the shop, and she's toasty in there and the beer fridge is stocked. I'm ready!

Although it was 71 degrees yesterday in Maryland the weather will be dropping dramatically over the next several weeks. I went for one last ride and buttoned her up for the winter.

Got the oldest Yamaha in the fleet out today! She’s light and floats! (Ask me how I know). I probably learned that at an early age back in the early 80’s.

We have from 5.5” to 8” of ice on our bay. Marked some fish, but headed to the main lake tomorrow to find the walleyes!!

record highs they’re saying for tues/wed.
There will be a line across MN/WI that will go from rain to snow. Hopefully we are on the North side of that line.

Doing an ice test yesterday, I had 8" along the shore all the way out to my shore break. Then it dropped to 5" real fast. Fast enough that I decided to fish there, rather than venture further.

It was just too beautiful out not to enjoy some ice-therapy!!

Do any good or was it just fishing and no catching?
