Moved to Wisconsin this fall. We heard that summers are fun and winter is beautiful. We think there is no more beautiful a place in the whole world! December 8 – 6:00 PM It started to snow. The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours […]

It’d been several years since I’d stopped at the Iowa 80 TA Truck Stop. If you are not aware of this particular truck stop you may wish to look it up. This is the world’s largest truck stop as well as the world’s largest chrome shop. If there’s a piece of chrome or a set […]
