Just some randum pics

 I've just got some randum pics from the last couple months.

This is how I build a fire in my stove.

Second layer. I use a product called Fatwood Fire starters. One piece down below and that is all I need.

Upper layer. Then one match.

and away we go. Once it gets started and I get an initial bed of coals I just keep adding to it. Before I know it it is 75 degrees in the house and the furnace does not come on.

Had a crazy Nov and Dec this year which ended up leaving us with a couple inches of hard froze snow and ice. When we started there was just a 4 foot wide path between the house and garage.

We got a few days of warm weather so the wife and I started removing it. We spent a couple hours a day for a few days and made huge progress.

After a couple days we had made good progress.

Sign I saw in a restaurant bathroom.

Nice sunset and the snow almost gone on March 8th.

By March 16th we had been dumped on by a total of about 14 inches of snow in like 9 days. The deer had to work hard for the accorns buried in the snow. Now on the 20th of march the snow is going fast. It was 55 degrees today.

Got my first new dual dated nickel yesterday, March 19th.

Thats all for now.

Pic transfer issues

just two more.

 

Just Some Pictures

 Thought I would just post some pictures that I've taken over the last couple months.

Out for a ride Oct 27.

Namekagon Dam east of Cable WI. You can start here an travel all the way to the Gulf of Mexico by river.

Checking out the fishing prospects at the dam area.

Lots of kayakers use this river.

Tons of forest service roads to ride on in northern Wisconsin. The best part is there is very little traffic.

Sunrise north end of Mille Lacs Lake in Minnesota Oct 23.

Good fall colors this year.

Deer loading up on accorns. We had a bumper crop this year.

What a great view I have.

From our deck, nice view.

The above 6 pictures are all local roads. I love living up here in northern Wisconsin.

Winters can get chilly here. This morning Jan 23 we woke up to -29 Fahrenheit.

The kids are at it again. Hwy 63 between Hayward and Spooner WI.

And another great late fall sunset.

Time to fire up the wood stove.

Just had to get a picture of this.

First real snow of the winter Nov 26th. Ended up with about 9 inches at our house when it finally decided to quit.

A little project I did in early December.

Great sunset Dec 14th.

We have a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers wintering here. I've also spotted a juvenile and an adult Red Headed woodpecker. They shouldn't be this far north in the winter. We also have Hairy, Downy and Red Breasted woodpeckers.

Just passing through.

Christmas was wonderful.

Hope everyone has a great 2026.
