A Word About Ads On My Website
Recently I activated Google Adsense Ads for my website.
I used to generate some side income through Affiliate Marketing on this website, but over the past couple months the online businesses I had been affiliating with lowered their sales commission rates. It is what it is… Not a big deal, but I sure have noticed a lower average income from my website marketing methods. …
Next Outing Is Planned!
With Covid 19 still present but in what appears to be a decline from the efforts of social distancing and other factors, States are opening back up! On June 10th Wisconsin will be opening up campgrounds once again for campers.
I have been itching to get away from my local area where I have been doing some fishing, hiking, and paddling. The desire to load up my jeep, my Old Town Guide 119, and a bunch of my kit it strong! I need to go do something! …

Got My Ham Technician License
Earlier in the year, on January 25th, I traveled to Bloomington Minnesota to take a written test for a HAM radio license. Truth be told I was planning on taking it a few weekends sooner, but weather and life got in the way. Sadly I had to put it off a couple weeks.
Cutting to the chase: I took the test for the Technician Rating and passed. …
A Little Update
I was in my garage yesterday afternoon thinking about how it needed to be cleaned out. While making preparations to get reorganized my eyes kept wandering towards my Old Town Guide 119 as it sat on its gunnels in storage. Spring isn’t too far off and thoughts of a quiet paddle on a cold spring morning started to fill my mind.
Could be an earlier Spring than expected. This coming weekend, March 7th and 8th, the weather forecast for my area of NW Wisconsin is being forecast for the upper 50s and low 60s! …
