    Hey Bucky,
                    I'm here on a daily basis, not much activity here though, my time is spent in the general chit chat most of the time. Did you ever get a pair of skis to build a sled? Smitty
    No and the way things are shaping up this year it does not look as though I will have any extra money to spend on fun projects like that.  I am only working 4 days a week and I already know I have to make a trip to KY for my sons graduation in the ARMY.  So there went what money I have for winter projects

    Just wondering if there is someone out there that could point me to a few good lakes to ice fish this winter. I just moved back to IL after living in northern Wis for 10 years. I live in ogle county just south of Rockford. Any info would help thanks.

    It is really starting to look up.  Lows in the upper 20s and a chance for the white stuff.  Even if they already know it wont stick it is still a good sign.

    I'm here. Getting cold now and I was just checking to see what activity was going on here. I just got out the auger and depth finder to charge them. It's been a long summer and I am ready to drill some holes. Hey smitty, where you working at in Fulton?

    I need to get stuff ready too. Be better to do it before it gets cold outside. Thinking about doing a mod to my one-man sled. I need a rack to hold the IceGAtor and auger, both assembled and unassembled. I like to pull the sled to my spot and then put the auger together. But once I am there I like to leave it together for the day and still be able to move around.
