    Seems the Wisconsin DNR is considering banning 2" paddle tracks on Wisconsin snowmobile trails. 

    Funny you bring this up.  The MN DNR did a study recently on what types of vehicles do the most damage to snowmobile trails, while taking up a proposal to allow ATV’s on snowmobile trails in the winter.  The findings were ATV’s, then paddle tracks, then 1-1.5” tracks.  The conclusions were enough to not allow ATV’s usage of groomed trails in the winter.  Although paddle tracks of 2” or greater were right with the ATV’s in how much they tear up the groomed trails, the consensus was there is no real way to enforce any snowmobile from being on the trails.

    It’s true...look at their history and how they were unwittingly used as medical test subjects. Some of you idiots need to crack a book or two.

    You know, I believe you, and I agree with you, yes I've read that.  BUT, when are we going to get over the past, and move forward?  Anyone?  I mean seriously, continuing to push this is just adding fuel to the fire, its not doing any good for racial relations in this country.  I know plenty of people that are not white, that are very good people, and don't play into this history.  They are very happy with their jobs, their fulfillment of the American dream, in their homes with their families.  No different than any of their neighbors, no matter the color.

    I used that same method for YEARS (with success!), but found myself getting lazier with camping weekends and other activities that kept me distracted from starting my sled as often as I should.  I know, I know ... piss poor excuse!  So I decided to use the method above and fog my last couple sleds so that way I didn't have to worry about starting them.  I plan to keep the new XCR a while, so next year I'll get to revisit the whole summerize process.

    HA - In my case they sit next to the lawn mower all summer, so they are a distraction with a rope that needs to be pulled!  LOL

    How far did she really think she was going to make it driving away from there after shooting a cop even if she hadn't been shot?? They already had all of her info and other police officers in route code 3 to stop her, was she going to try shooting at the other cops too? 

    Clearly, she didn't.

    Yep, “salt of the earth....give the shirt of their backs....kind and considerate to everybody....had no enemies in the world....never met a stranger.....a very generous person, etc.”

    Meh...some people just have bad days and slip outside the character they’ve been their whole lives.

    Yes, I’m sure that is it.

    You forgot the "Uses their brain in difficult situations" 

  6. 800+ on the old XCR, then 3320 on the new XCR before jackshaft bearing gave out (among other things) and then 500+ on the old XCR after a run back home mid trip.  About 4760 total so far....

  7. Its just crazy to me, that we are pointing the blame on societal issues on the cops.  Just think, if people weren't breaking the law, stealing, vandalizing, assaulting, what ever the crime, there would be no need for cops, right?  This is where "they" are going.  If we don't have crimes, we don't need cops.  Problem is, people are still committing crimes.  Street crimes, violent crimes, white collar crimes, it doesn't matter.  So the solution is to defund the cops, thinking people will stop committing crimes?  Or is it that if we stop reporting on crimes, and the crimes magically just go away? 

    In a society with laws, you need some form of enforcement.  Do we have bad cops, cops who lose their mind, cops who commit crimes?  Yes we do, and we should hold them accountable.  Just getting rid of the cops is not a viable solution - IMO.

  8. Been this way since last summer.  Snow plows were not allowed in.  Police, fire, paramedics, all not allowed in.  A local TV station interviewed an auto repair business last fall, they had to sneak in a back alley, rush their TV truck into the garage, and close the door behind them.  Then, turn the truck around inside the garage, so when they left they can speed out the back alley before the people "in charge" caught wind of their presence. 

    There was a murder in there last week, and the "residents" of the area drug the guy to the barricades and dropped him at the feet of the police, who were not allowed in.

    I read a story of one business owner, who renovated a building in the last 3-5 years, with 6 businesses, and 3 apartments, had them all filled and flourishing.  Now only one business is left struggling, and the guy gets ZERO help from the city.  Losing everything.

    Just goes to show how useless the mayor and the city council are.

  9. Haven't looked in a few months, but if you want to buy a house in south Minneapolis, prices were down 25%, and not moving.  Maybe things have changed since the fall.

    Funny how a riot can do that to a huge sector of a big city....
