Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
Two days in a row? Yep, that happens when I am in a hurry and miss about half of my update.<\/p>\n
First of all, it looks like a rainy day. The radar is showing a big blob of rain that covers about half of the state just on the other side of Forest County and heading this way. It probably won’t be a nice day to play outside cutting firewood, and painting the house-probably not..<\/p>\n
Item #2 is that Steve, a page supporter and local Volunteer Fireman, suggested that I remind you again to clean out your chimneys. The creosote build up can start on fire, and when it does it burns hot and fast, turning your chimney into a really hot jet engine. We have chimney fires around here just about every winter, and it often takes the house with it.<\/p>\n
Cleaningthem isn’t that hard, and the brushes are not that expensive. The last time that I wrote about it I found brushes and extension rods on E-Bay pretty cheap. A kit for doing my chimney would set me back about $24 for a brush and another $20 for two extension rods.<\/p>\n
Item #3– Events.. I am not sure how I missed it, but we have a Bear Point Sno-Cruisers meeting this Saturday at the Bear Point Yacht Club at 9am. The meetings usually last about an hour.<\/p>\n
After the meeting we are doing the Adopt A Highway road clean up along HWY 180 east of the Yacht Club. Last fall we had pretty many volunteers, and it was finished in just over an hour. It didn’t take long with a lot of hands, and we picked up a couple of truckloads of garbage along the road.<\/p>\n
Snowmobile clubs aren’t just about snowmobiling, they are about helping the community too!<\/p>\n
Item #4- The Hunter’s Moon.. While we haven’t seen too much of the moon recently, yesterday was the Hunter’s Moon full moon. Often times the Hunter’s Moon appears huge and orange as it rises from the east like a giant pumpkin. You might be able to catch it over the weekend if the clouds part enough.<\/p>\n
The NWS hasn’t changed their forecast for the weekend much except to add the word blustery to Saturday’s forecast in reference to the expected 15-25mph winds. The still don;t think much of the fast moving system for Saturday night into Sunday morning, and did not put rain in the forecast for Saturday or Sunday.<\/p>\n
Well I am off to dive into another busy day. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n
