    I've seen MF grant some variances

    When I read this as Mother Fuckers it makes the whole thing better.

    My dad was on the zoning and planning committee in Mukwonago many years ago and said same as you.  A lot of it came down to how the committee was feeling during that request, was the request reasonable and was the person in front of them a dick.

    At this point I'm going to keep my head low and figure the situation out.

      I honestly think your better approach would be to go to their office reiterate that you are a taxpayer and you can do whatever you want on your private property. It's something that most public officials rarely hear and easily forget. So if you remind them, that you are a taxpayer and a resident of your community, they'll probably let you do whatever you want. 

      If you don't believe me, I recommend watching this documentary that follows the lives of a branch of local government employees - it's called Parks and Rec. Idk if you've heard it before, but look it up.

        Best advice I've gotten all week.  Hold up while I go remind them who pays their salary.

          Haven't been paying much attention to car news, but heard that Hyundai was coming out with a new "mini truck". So disappointed:

          2022-hyundai-santa-cruz-bed-with-bike.jp

          The bed fit's half a mountain bike... at an angle... I looked it up and the bed of a Subaru Brat was 2 inches wider and 8 inches longer. This is not a truck, it's a hatchback with part of the roof missing.

              My day (partially) consisted of helping rig a similar boat, and I got to stare at these for awhile while doing so:

              6’1” human for reference. I’m very excited to see how triple V8s sound at full honk.

                    😂 I’ll pass it along to the board. There’s actually concern about these being pretty loud already, they’re not known for being the quietest outboard around.

                    It’s pretty wild to see them pulling 30-40+ people off of the dock, then going and pulling barefoot pyramids at 40+ mph (the team has two 900hp triple rigs like this). The power makes them crazy versatile. My favorite though is when you end up with this pulling a single 8 y/o around on a ski trainer or something, it’s hilarious.

                      is that transom going to remove itself from the boat on the first hole shot?

                        Man, I hope not. Would be a crappy start to ski season.

                        In all seriousness though, these boats are built specifically as multi-engine towboats, so they’re pretty well reinforced and don’t have any problems taking the load as long as they’re kept up and aren’t rotted out. The transom itself is probably 4ish inches thick and has half inch aluminum plates reinforcing it on either side as well. A demonstration of what they’re actually capable of pulling:

                        80 person pyramid:

                        Barefoot line (pulled at probably 42ish mph):

                        Fun fact: I’m almost positive both of these records were set in Wisconsin.

                          USAIR was a blast today. Evo is even faster this year with the changes the gf made. 
                           

                          makes a person want to not bother with old cars lol.

                                    Who doesn't love the charm of dated suspension geometry, rust, crumbling plastic, NLA parts, and multitudes of rattles and squeaks that come with older cars??
