In which year(s) of today's review can you see a train?

2004, 1999 - A green train on a birthday decoration

2010 power line snowmobiling riding, yes!

Tuff sleddin' this morning on the roads ~ be careful out there!

"Good Morning",Back to work tomorrow.

Good pics, and some beautiful Winter ones. We're finally getting some notable measurements of snow in northwestern lower Michigan. And I see the Pasty Cam moderators are the real early birds, today. Just never know when that will happen (lol).

Packers 2nd team,45: Lions 1st team,41.........

If the Lions' touchdown would have counted, and it was a touchdown, they would have won. Not a very fair call by the zebras.

Got around 10" of snow "so far". The wind is howling and the Big Lake is roaring. Winter has arrived.

HOLLIDAYS; I am with you, that was a touchdown.

Zebras? In Andy Griffith's "What it Was Was Football," he referred to them as convicts.

Thomas, maybe the 'moderators' made New Year's resolutions!
Give them 'convicts' a "big ol' orange drank!";)

Since I had no way to follow the game yesterday I can only take the results as decided by "the zebras". And FJL, 45 still beats 41 in basic math :O>)

Okay, which one of you UP there left the door open....your snow is leaking into the Ohio Valley! grrr

The Lions couldn't fight there way out of a papaer bag. They made a second string QB look like a Hall of Famer! Go Saints & San Fran! I hope one of you face the Pats.

The Pack didn't have their whole 2nd string in. And if we're talking about that, how come nobody commented on how the Pack doesn't really seem to need Aaron Rodgers? Hmmmmmmm!!!! Oh, I know, you'll all say it's because they played the Lions. Whatever!! It was a good game.

Through the woods looks like fun, and Dan and Jon's pictures are awesome. Thanks for the fun slideshow!

Just have to make a comment here. The Packers are a
great team but----- the Lions should have won that
game. After all we are Michigan people not
Wisconsin people. I live in Colorado now and am a
Broncos Fan. We have a super QB. Tim Tebow is a
wonderful guy. So the Lions are my second team. But
someimes things are not fair. But somehow they work
out. Theresa

Anyone can argue this until the cows come home; the fact of the matter is the Packers won and the Lions lost, end of story. And to me, who cares??? They are both in the playoffs; the Lions for the first time since the 20th century!!

What everyone should be focusing on now are the playoffs; a time when anyone who thinks the Lions will make it out of New Orleans alive is rather foolish, the Packers will be lucky to make the Super Bowl with that defense, same with New England. I'm still sticking with my preseason pick of a Green Bay/Baltimore Super Bowl, but we will have to see. After all, that's why they play the games, isn't it?? Otherwise if it were up to Fox Sports and Joe Buck, Dallas would be the champs 20+ years running....

Isn't that the truth about Joe Buck, Capt? And just why ARE the Cowboys America's team? They sure aren't my team!! And I don't know a lot of people up in the great white north who love the Cowboys. Just the opposite would be closer to the truth.

Anyway, yep, that's why they play the game and I'm not silly enough to think that the Lions will leave New Orleans with a victory! It's what I told my hubby. I'm happy they made the playoffs, but what's the point? Seriously, Drew Brees is a totally awesome QB and they have a great team.

But I'm thinking that if we want to talk football, we should probably be on a different page:)

Here is the real issue and one that should be on everyone’s mind. Does size really matter? I told myself that if the Lions make it this far, that I am going to buy a new plasma TV for the playoffs. The question: Should I get a 51 inch or spring for that big 63 inch? I do not want to jinks the team by getting too cocky.
Sincerely, Confused

Geez, someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning. :)

That's funny, Alex. You made me laugh!!

And why did someone get out of bed on the wrong side just because of a little fun? I'm confused on that one. But I guess if you're picking on me, that would be nothing new!

Why limit yourself to "only" a 63 Alex?? Go for broke and get the 80 inch instead; all the better to watch the Lions lose on Saturday... ;-)

Hollidays, I agree, but it 'warnt' me.:)
Alex, if it were me, I'd invest that money in more doodads for my Goldwinger....which you'll have with you lonnnnng after football games.

Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are.

Deb, I sometimes get out of bed on the wrong side too, but at least I do get out of bed and way before noon!

ouch!

Oh no, I wasn't saying Deb stays in bed til noon, I was saying I am guilty of getting out of bed on the wrong side too. Deb and I have early morning conversations.

It's okay Shirley. Put a band-aid on that ouch.

Got over 15 inches of snow in Ontonagon, been snowshoeing and loving the peace and quiet of the woods. Still have deer eating the birdseed, they should have gone to their winter yards but they are hanging on.

Oh Janie, I laughed out loud when you read that! That was awesome!! And I actually got out on the right side of the bed, as always, lol!!

It gave me a laugh too, I just didn't want Shirley to get the wrong idea, that we were not the good friends that we are.

JT...I hope it wasn't a bunk bed. Maybe that's how you messed up your back.

Definitely good friends Janie, thanks to this great site!!!

Like I have said;
Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are.

Guess my advice didn't work.

Some of these posts remind of how ugly school was, like grade school.

Have a Happy New Year Yoops and try to be nice.

lol Alex! Bunk beds are not a cause, more like tossing 55 lb bales of hay for 40+ years, owning an older kick start Harley Davidson XLCH, but it was an awesome bike, for many years are more of the many multiple life stresses for my back surgeries. Being rebuilt like the Bionic Woman. Tawanda!

Congrats to the Spartans on a great win today! Great comeback ~ just had to make it exciting!!

I know, right Jbuck? That was so exciting. Watching the Badgers right now. Would love to see another Big 10 win. It's another exciting game!

Amen Deb!!

Time for the Big Ten teams to step up and win!!

Janie, yep, I figured all of you were friends on this site. I wuz just bein' silly...snow does that to me.:)
Oops, Hollidays, I'm all out of Band-aids, will duct tape do? We had snow showers on and off all day...wasn't supposed to happen, that's why I'm thinking it's leaking from up there 'sommers'.;>
BTW, Janie, you just answered one of my 'wonders', so you DO keep your horses at home. Boy, what a job...and expense! Good for you!

Theresa: I consider myself a Yooper, not a Michigander. If I go to the Green Bay area and mention the Keweenaw or Houghton or Calumet they at least know where I'm talking about. Most people in the LP don't know that we exist and don't care. A lot of people in the LP actually think that Traverse City is northern Michigan. Been a Packer fan all of my life as are most Yoopers.

Shirley, yep my horses are home with us, home is actually 20 acres of 185 acres of family farm ground. Bob & I bought our acreage when dad died and built a new house. In a way, I never left home. So it's not really an expense, but a joy.

That is a wonderful arrangement, Janie. We only have 6acres, had a barn which we eventually had to tear down, but the folks we bought from had 2 horses, so I got the 'itch' to get one, but my husband was still having to work out of state, so it wouldn't have been practical. Can I come play with your horses?;)

Charlie must be having technical difficulties today. ;O)

You noticed that too, eh, mickill?:) Thank goodness, I thought it was my computer/connection.

Hope Charlie doesn't break his record and comes on while it is
still Jan.3rd. I'm betting on Charlie!

Hope he didn't break something!:(

I actually had an all-nighter at the Pasty Kitchen because of some staff health issues. Managed to get all of the pasties out of the door. Day after New Years is one of our biggest. Lots of orders shipped to Florida and California!

Good work, Charlie!
