    Lets see who you are?

    Re: Lets see who you are? This is not one of my most recent pictures and I have aged slightly since then. The car in the background I think was my grandfathers 1942 Olds. Not many of those were made as GM stopped making them to gear up for war production.

    Ice rescue here today - some people just don't get it.

    Re: Ice rescue here today - some people just don't get it. Had a friend, a retired conservation officer, who fell through the ice last year and succumbed in water that was chest deep. I am sure since he had all the training he would have had his ice awls with him but the cold got him before...

    Shortly after midnight tonight I went out on the porch for firewood to stoke the fires for the night when I heard the fire siren going off. There are two fire departments by me, one about four miles to the east just over the county line and one about five to the west. It was the one to the...

Got home about 1/2 hour before dark and climbed under to replace it and can't figure out how to unbolt it as the bolts seem to be hidden. Does someone know the secret? May save me sometime trying to figure it out...
