    Thanks Guys!

    We are expecting the governor to sign it tomorrow. He has no objections. Nothing on a release date. The plate has yet to be designed.

    Thanks Guys!

    It is about time. Michigan politics can screw up anything good. Our political system here is an embarrassment. At least they came through, finally.

    Thanks Guys!

    It is very kewl! We should have had it a LONG time ago, but politics always got in the way. Randy and I talked about this plate on the boat last fall when we hunted. The head of the Michigan DNR was there and gave his backing. It snowballed from there. It was a TREMENDOUS effort pushed by the...

    Thanks Guys!

    After a LONG battle, 12 years, Michigan Ducks Unlimited is FINALLY getting it's "specialty" license plate. Monroe County Chapter representatives, Tracy and Marshal, testified before both the Michigan House and Senate prior to the votes. Senate Leader, Randy Richardville, and State Rep, Dale...

    The TRUE vote

    I have received NO advertising in any way shape or form about buying a gun. Not from a manufacturer or a retailer. Obama clearly said that he wanted a "BAN" on "assault rifles", mandatory background checks, even between PRIVATE CITIZENS, restrictions on magazine capacities etc. One of his...

    Newbie Alert: what do self employed Teams do about Health Insurance?

    I don't know about your plan but the rate of increase on my wife's has doubled (the rate of increase) since the law was passed. As to the rest, it is Soapbox fodder. I will behave . LOL!

    The TRUE vote

    The Demoncrats who are trying to destroy our rights had better wake up. People ARE voting, voting by buying guns. People do NOT want their rights taken from them. Gun sales are running at very high rates, even in Newtown, CT. Many of the restrictions on firearms that Obama and the controllers...

    Breaking news on Fox. Assault Weapons Ban Dropped

    If it is not there they WILL likely use it to get rid of our rights. That is the primary reason for Obama Care in the first place, control.

    Breaking news on Fox. Assault Weapons Ban Dropped

    I would just as soon trust a molting rattle snake that I had just cornered than ANY Demoncrat who is out to enslave us.

    High wind alert

    It is not calming down at all. It is getting really much worse. It is rattling my windows at the house. It is a typical SE Michigan winter storm.

    Newbie Alert: what do self employed Teams do about Health Insurance?

    I ONLY brought up Obama Care because of what my agent has been telling us. Prices have sky rocketed since that bill was passed. We have also been told that the high deductable plans with an HSA are going to be outlawed once Obama Care goes into full affect in 2014. Time will tell.

    Breaking news on Fox. Assault Weapons Ban Dropped

    They are still pushing for the expanded background checks and magazine limitations. Neither will have any affect on crime levels, other than to raise crime rates. Not to worry. The next step for them is to try to use Obama Care to outlaw ALL privately owned firearms. These people will NEVER...

    High wind alert

    This is a storm that closely resembles the "gales of November". ANY boat that is in one of the affected marinas will be sitting on mud. The wind is REALLY cookin' out there right now. They got it wrong, again. MUCH higher than predicted. I could buy it's 30 knots or better out there. WAY...

    High wind alert

    Have lived through both. The lowering levels are bad too. It can make it impossible to get off the Lake in many places. There will be NO water at all.

    High wind alert

    Heading out into now. Have to get a haircut. Must get all spiffed up so I can look purdy at the Ducks Unlimited Dinner on Saturday. The more purdy I be the more money we make. I was REAL purdy last year, this year will be better!

    High wind alert

    Yanking back. It is the gusts that are the problem. Along with the isolated ice patches. 30MPH is not bad if it sustained. I suspect that we will see higher gusts as well. The weather service is not very good at predicting wind speeds around here. They tend to underestimate most of the time. It...

    High wind alert

    Thank you for the compliment. I won't go into the REAL reason for the storm, you and several others in here would start to cry. For everyone else, be careful. It is bad right now.

    High wind alert

    Anyone traveling through SE Michigan over the next 24 hours should be mindful of the winds. There is a strong west wind blowing. It will be a crosswind on I75 blowing west to east. Gusts over 30MPH are common right now. Be careful. For those who understand the Great Lakes and it's weather...

    Newbie Alert: what do self employed Teams do about Health Insurance?

    Look for high deductable plans that have are Health Savings Account legal. They, like all health plans, have really gone up in cost since Obama Care made health care less expensive, but they are still the best bet as long as the remain legal. If either of you are veterans you can look into the...
