Need advice for heating a metal outbuilding. I have a wood burning unit that I've used for years but it takes too long to heat up and discovered all my tools are rusting without a constant source of heat. Is an electric heat source or a lp gas stove my best bet cost wise? Would appreciate...

Double birthday gift My son Jim Jr gave me two birthday gifts this past week. The day before my 90th birthday he was told his cancer had been removed after 7 weeks of radiation and chemo. The second gift was a trip to the Mississippi for the early teal and goose hunting. The weather was...

Yesterday I was able to attend the opening of the new Horicon Marsh museum with a guided tour. The building replaces a famous restaurant that burned down a few years ago. The site gives a great view of the marsh. The museum itself, with pictures, videos, and actual equipment, decoys from...

All the connections pulled loose from marine battery: bow, stern lights and spot lite all on a switch; depth finder,outboard and powerl lift direct to battery. Don't ask me how that happened. The question is "how do I start to restore this situation". The boat is a 16+ Starcraft runabout...

I'm converting a 17ft Starcraft runabout to a duck boat. A local marinia spray painted the hull for me with urethane and got overspray on the windshield. I need a method of removing that-- the local marine suggested Xylene but that will soften the plastic. Any suggestions?

My son, Jim Jr, and I with a guide finally got to hunt pool 9. Shot some ducks, missed some ducks but enjoyed it. Too early for cans to come in but a few were sighted. Really great getting back on the Mississippi. Have pictures but unable to post--sorry about that. wis boz

Well to all you duck hunters who responded to my original post the 73rd opening day in northern Wisconsin at 9 a.m. loses some of the magic of starting at 1/2 hr before sunrise as in the past. The day was a strange weather pattern with shots of blue skies then a cell of cold mist coming thru...

Well, it's actually not 73 years. Subtract 3years of WW II but wait, I did fire a carbine at a duck flying off the end of our runway in Yangkai, China 1945. Checking my "to do list" prior to heading for my son's cabin for the Northern Wis duck opening, I just realized how long it has been...
