The SPNK BNK BMW

On the way to work today I saw this incredibly crass license plate on a BMW. SPNK BNK! I'm surprised the DMV let this one pass!

Delivering a Lund Pro Sport 1700 to New York

It occurred to me that I've never seen Niagara Falls.

So I found this boat on uShip that needed to be hauled to New York, and off Bear and I went.

The Falls were beautiful, but you already knew that. 

I didn't know that Tesla had anything to do with the Falls, but here is a monument testifying that very thing. 

A panorama of the Falls.

Here is a link to all the photos we took on that trip.

We got a great review from Vince for hauling his boat out to NY. Here is the what he had to say:

"Ray was better than could be expected -prompt - very conscience and careful. He went above and beyond to satisfy me as his customer would recommend to anyone - thanks for your excellent service. hope to use you again A+++ Boat delivery Wisconsin to Buffalo, NY"

We found a cabinet that Maureen wanted brought to Milwaukee from Buffalo, so we hauled that back.

Engelhart Indian Motorcycle Test Drive Event

On Wednesday, Dave, one of the machinists at work told me he was going to Madison on Saturday to trade his Harley in on a new Indian. He also mentioned that Engelhart was having a test drive event. I've never been to a test drive event, and it sounded fun, so I went, and it was AWESOME! Had a great time, and now I want an Indian Chief Vintage.

2014 Dodge Dart

Psyched to drive my new Dodge Dart.

After months of looking at cars, I finally settled on this very slightly used 2014 Dodge Dart. It only has 2,000 miles on it. Thanks to Adam and Brent at Wilde Dodge, for making my most expensive car purchase ever, a painless and even a fun experience. Up until now, the most I've paid for a car was $8,000. I feel like I've been invited to play poker with the good fellas in the back room.

Adam Rolfson sold me a 2014 Dodge Dart.

I was really interested in buying a Subaru WRX or STI. I love those cars. But they all seem to be out of my price range right now. This car isn't as sporty, or as fast as I would like, but it's comfortable, and the interior ROCKS! Which is where I'll be spending most of my time anyway. I'm also looking forward to getting 35 miles to the gallon. The savings on gas should help make my car payment!

Accident on I894

Driving home this morning, the right two lanes were closed due to an accident. There were 3 squad cars and 2 fire department vehicles at the scene. EMS personal had already removed victims when I passed. After a quick look, I'd say it was scene cleanup at this point.

Jefferson county snow plow in the ditch

Here's something you don't see everyday. A snow plow in the ditch. He's deep in there too! Since the roads are clear, I'm not sure how he got stuck. Maybe he was backing up to plow the corner? Poor guy! He was pretty frustrated and shouted "Yeah? You like that?" when he saw me taking pictures. I felt empathetic, but I still laughed and shouted "Yeah, I do!" back. They say "karma can be a bitch." I guess that's true, because since I laughed at this, I've broken a tail light, and a mirror on one of the trucks while plowing snow at Miller. I guess I should be more courteous, although, I laughed at my blunders too, after some cursing!

Boarding Longmire for the winter.

Boarding my trusted steed Longmire for the winter.

It's getting late in the year, and although I've enjoyed riding my bike, even in the cold weather, I think it's time to store it.  I'm mostly concerned about dumping it on ice or snow and wrecking it. So it's back to Action Power Sports where they'll winterize my bike and put it in heated storage.
