Gives a guy a reason to get up in the morning

Dave by the way if you were BORN IN the U.P., YOU ARE A WISCONSINITE.

"In the summer of 1837, as the Toledo War was ending and Michigan was gaining its statehood, the Wisconsin territory was officially formed. Wisconsin was, at one point, part of Michigan territory but broke off before it ever had its own name on the upper peninsula. Thus, we never had it. But, if Ohio had just kept to itself and accepted the loss of the Toledo Strip, Michigan would have likely left the upper peninsula for Wisconsin."

That`s too funny !!
I was talking to a guy I kinda know in McDonalds this morning while waiting for coffee to brew. Just small talk, I asked what he was up to today. Going "up north" to the cabin he replied(Here we say camp) I asked where his camp was, Pembine he said. That`s a small size coffee drive

Talk about inflation !

Around about 1964, when wisconsin had 18 year old beer bars, I was a border town kid who thought it unfair that his wisconsin friends could go out and get pig drunk legally. There were several ways around this we found out (don`t care to get in to specifics) But to my point, several beer bars in my local area, EVERY Tuesday, had "Buck Night" ALL YOU COULD DRINK DRAFT FOR 1 DOLLAR !!! Every possible disgusting thing you can think of happened those nights, EVERY POSSIBLE THING
  It`s a miracle I didn`t lose more friends, the list is long enough. These bars were all in the county, you had to drive there, the parking lots were full of "muscle" it wasn`t a good combination at closing time
 

The Wisconsin summers were a blast at the cabin West on hwy 70 from Minocqua. The resorts and lakes were booming in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. the winters were equally as exciting, going from bar to bar via snowmobile. The trails were endless, as were the drafts. Then....the tech boom hit, airfare became less expensive and we saw business decline and resorts and bars close. It's truly a different experience, both summer and winter, these days. So quite, which is not a bad thing, but sad to see how simple living went to chaotic. However. it is now nice to get away to an area without all the tech.
