snowmobile trying to pull a plane
A lake just west of us has a winter festival every year. This guy landed for the party, the sun came out and softened the top, and he got stuck in the slush trying to take off.
I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I know this is primarily a west coast forum, but MI has some incredible water available during our (short) summer when (if?) the weather behaves.
We took the 24 up to Lake Charlevoix and thought I'd share some pics. The weather was less than optimal, but we made it work even though it seems...
We've had LOTS of snow; easily the most in 25 years and maybe the most "ever" here in W.MI.
I was headed to work going slow because low volume roads were drifted to the point that they were passable - if at all - only with a 4 wheel drive and some clearance. I see a bunny under a scrub tree...
My wife took a really nice pic with her I-phone that I'd like to frame. There is a shirt laying on the deck of the boat..I think it would be easy to take out which would turn a nice pic into a great pic...any idea who I can send it to?
thanks

My wife took this pic and had to text it to me.
My sons - 19 & 22 - had been using our flat and were getting ready to put it back on the lift after they'd wiped it down.
Our 84 (86?) year old neighbor wandered over and headed down the dock to talk to the boys...one of my wife's friends was...
I've got 3 old outboard props...it's been so long I don't remember what they're hubbed for, could be Merc or John/Rude...had both but it's been 20+ years ago.

From TTAG - If you can?t keep criminals in jail from getting ahold of guns, what hope do you have preventing criminals from acquiring firearms on the street? And if you can?t stop bad guys from getting guns on the streets, why would you want to...
Is anyone else having this issue?
What am I doing wrong?
The first pic I post "shows up" but any after in the same thread only show up as a link to "attachment"
WTF?
..and now I can't even post in a separate thread...mayday! mayday!
I knew I had some of these pics...
Friends own a restaurant & got hooked up with the "Freedom Alliance" - an organization that provides academic scholarships for kids whose parents "have sacrificed life or limb" serving their country. He put together a calendar as a fundraiser and wanted to...
In the "Old School Cool" thread there's a pic of Rosie's Diner..
Several years ago a local artist named Jerry Berta set up shop in an old diner car. The story is that so many people stopped and tried to buy food (and were disappointed when they found out it wasn't a restaurant) that he...

Sooooo......I would love to take credit for this but it came from my step dad in law who takes being Irish VERY seriously.
Q - Do you know the...
Sunny (but cold) day here in MI and ice on the lake is down to about 12' - time to think about getting stuff ready for summer.
We're thinking about another boat; not to replace the roll bar & flat, but in addition to them. We do several boat trips every summer; nearly weekly pilgrimage to...
And forgot I had this pic of the flat saved & since I don't have the attention span to wait 'til next Christmas to post it....
I thought I had a couple more similar to this but it's become apparent that I save waaay to much stuff - I'll post 'em when I find 'em.
Seriously...can't make this shit up.
