    Current Bid: $4,699.00 (per lot)

    Wow, I had really hoped that these would go a bit cheaper. Being close to $5 a can now, I wont be bidding.

    Sorry guys, I was really hoping that the WGA could make a nice score on these….I’m sure that’s who it was….Fleet Farm…

    Schwarz’s Supper Club-

    St. Anna, WI.

    If you can find St. Anna, you’ll have no problem finding this excellent place to eat. Steaks, chicken, fish, the BEST Prime Rib in the area, if not the entire state.

    Don’t bother with reservations…like the sign above the bar says, “If you have reservations, you’re in the wrong place!” Get there early if your hungry on the weekends….the wait can be long….more time to spend in the bar.

    Guaranteed not to leave hungry!

    Brian, if you would like a 2.5% share I would be willing to split.
    or anyone else for that matter…. first one to post an okay to split will be my partner on this. I only need?? want?? 24 cans. I will most likely be in trouble for the 24 already. “no really dear, I will get them out of the garage in a week or so. ” [:)]

    Uh-oh….I may have started something!!!! I wouldn’t want to get anyone in trouble! Especially with their significant others!!!!

    in reply to: DNR hunting for cougar #1883911

    Oh no, no , no , no…the DNR wouldn’t LIE about something like this, would they? Denying that cougars might be roaming the forests and fields of Wisconsin? There were reports of cougars in the 1800’s…why not now?

    That’s just like this CWD thing…I think there’s something fishy there also…I’ve noticed, you don’t hear much about it on the news anymore…

    Oh well…

    I’ll have to keep that in mind when and if I need to buy a new GPSr…My Magellan Explorist 400 has been pretty good, but I’ve notcied some of the pixels have gone out on the screen and had to tear it apart a month or so ago and clean the buttons…the IN zoom button wasn’t working…a cotton swab and a little rubbing alcohol and all was working fine….I can’t knock it, it’s been pretty good to me…knock on wood.

    While we have Fleet and Farm up here in the Fox Valley, they have Farm and Fleet in the south and western part of the state…I’d hit those up, I’ve seen the 50 cal. cans at the Fleet in Plymouth in the past…jeez…you’d think the brothers would stop fighting…..

    in reply to: Cave In Maribel?? #1768391

    We went through the Ledgeview caves 10-19 for our cub scout pack. We had a great time with spooky stories being told and it was great walking the trails at night. The best was crawling through the tunnel to get to Wayne’s World….

    in reply to: New Earth cache: Meteor Impact site #1880281

    Sounds like a possible camping/geocaching trip for me next summer….We’ve been wanting to get over in that area again since it’s been almost 12 years…now I’ve got another reason to go!

    in reply to: Soliciting opinions on 4WD vehicles #1879060

    We’ve got a 2003 Trailblazer…I like it, gets around 17-20 mpg on the highway depending on the conditions…plenty of power in the straight 6…the year we bought it, we took it to South Dakota pulling a large pop-up….had no problems whatsoever, got around 15 mpg on the interstate…

    Energysaver, not sure how you are with tools, but I’m willing to guess it’s the switch and it’s got crud built up in it…my Grand Prix had the same problem…well the switch assembly was big bucks at the dealer, and I couldn’t find a used one…I pulled it out, tore it apart, and cleaned it out…no more problem with my driver’s window not working….it would go down, but I had keep pressing it till I found a sweet spot for it to go back up…

    in reply to: External Hard Drive #1879421

    I like my Western Digital drives…I’ve never had a problem with them…..I’ve had a couple Seagate’s go bad…the last one was a month or so ago in the comp at our firehouse…we bought it from Dell the spring of ’06, and of course they only got the one year warranty…well the drive gave me fits earlier this year, I ended up doing a chkdsk on it and found it had problems…repaired it after the chkdsk and did a reinstall on everything and all was well till late this summer, sounds like the armature is sticking, it was making a buzzing noise, and after messing with it for a while it started working…well, with all the reports I do for our fire calls and what the chief and the other officers do, I decided it was time to swap it out…I called about the warranty on it…well Dell and Seagate decided to use me as a tennis ball sending me back and forth, so I gave up and bought a 200 gb WD for $55 from Newegg….never had a problem with Newegg, and I’ve been dealing with them since the late 90’s when they had their online auctions and it was egghead.com…

    in reply to: People who keep your travel bugs! #1878188

    heh….I stopped by a cache on my way to work this afternoon to check on a TB I’d dropped last April…it hadn’t moved…or so I thought. It’s gone. So I came home tonight to look at the cache’s webpage and there were 3 other TB’s that were supposed to be in there….none of those were in there either. I think I’m going to stop investing in TB’s and geocoins. I’ve got a couple Great Lakes Pop-Up Club coins I bought to send out for travelling, and now I don’t feel like giving $20 away to some “collector” for his own private coin collection.

    eheheheh….go jeepers, the last 100 pages are the best part….yes, there were a lot of unanswered questions from the first 6 books that had light shed upon them for me also…some I already knew, but they’ve been confirmed now.
