I was wondering when you'd start the countdown. I look forward to it every year!

It was down to 48 for low temps at my house few times last week but now they're going up again.  Either way summer's time is running out.

Can't wait for the ice to get here, hopefully it's nice and early like last year. Already starting to see some leaves beginning to change color on the trees.  ;D

That sounds like a long time but I'm sure it will be more bearable as the temperatures get and stay colder.  Either way it can't come fast enough for me.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad.
