Here in Southern Ontario, Canada I have not ice fished on our local water, Lake St Clair, in three years now. We get walkable ice for a short time but at my age if I can't use my ATV to pull my Clam I'm not going.
This year was one of the worst in years, even in Northern Ontario 

58* and clear.

WS, nice to see you. Glad you sister is on the mend. Sounds like your s-i-l has found the LMB.

WW, nice day on the "big" pond, good luck today. Has to be pretty nice on the water right now.

Eddie, good luck today.

Will get the results of my blood work next week at my doctors appointment.

The wife is doing well, we even when grocery stopping yesterday.

Have a good day and be well...h2l

              Good morning Wally, ER's,
                        It's 58* and mostly clear here on my hill.
                        Wally...........Again you and Mr. WW had a banner day. Good luck today.
                        H2l..............I hope the blood work gets good results.
                        Eddie...........That sucks hitting the rock, maybe the boys can dig it out for you.
                        Marv............It's nice to see you posting. Best wishes to your sister that she's feeling better.
                        Bud.............I'm glad you have some dry weather for a few days to work on the deck.
                        Steve..........Thanks for the reminder to stay hydrated.
                        Therapy went ok yesterday some new exercises again and left me a little sore.
                        Today I'm headed to the Trout Lake job to do some staining.
                        I hope everyone has a good Tuesday either at work or out. Stay Safe and Healthy.

 Good evening, like others in the Northeast seeing warmer temperatures next few days. May get above ninety on Wednesday. friendly reminder to my fellow New Yorkers tomorrow the 21ST is school district budget and board of education budget voting day. The polls will be open from 12 PM to 9PM .
Fish/hunt4ever nice job on the side by side.
Hunts2long glad your wife is home and doing better. may she catch up on the sleep she had trouble getting while in the hospital . yesterday was a nice time for your daughters to be out on the water.
Ice Wanderer remember to keep hydrated as outside temperatures increase. May you finish staining the deck by Wednesday and have little on the job schedule heading into memorial day weekend.
Wally world congratulations on getting your garden planted and today's fishing trip. remember to use sun screen as the higher temperature have you wearing short sleeve shirts.
Eddie nice to read that your grandson and his teammates won their Little League opening of season game. Ditto the comments on prices at the concession stand. All of the Boy's lacrosse sectional championship games will be played at Middletown high school on Saturday the 25 TH weather permitting.
IFF glad you and Linda's son had nice weather to go fishing. best wished for you with the deck project.
Whopper Stopper glad all is good with you. Best wished to your sister as she heals from her fall. Good to read that she has been doing well selling off parts of your BIL's farm machinery/tractor collection. may your wife like how her new Old Town kayak performs after taking the initial trip.

May everyone stay safe and healthy. Pace your selves when working out side and take breaks as needed to cool off .

Marv…hope all is well out in Minnysoda!    Have the ladies been out fishing?
 

Good evening everyone

Hope everyone is doing well I need to go back a few pages to get caught up.

Everything is going well on this part of the map. I have been doing a few tree jobs here and there. I have a big job coming up when the crazy weather straightens out. In-between time I have been spending a lot of time at my sisters helping her. She has been doing very well selling machinery and tractors. She sold a bunch of stuff at her on going garage sale, for a while she had a hard time keeping up.

A few days ago, she took a nasty fall and the ambulance was called.  Luckily, she didn't break anything, but did end up with a pulled hamstring and a badly bruised knee. She was happy she didn't land on her artificial knee and felt fortunate she didn't break any ribs when hitting chairs on her way down. I always tell people she should write a book and call it "Overcoming Adversity with Faith and Determination". She is truly my inspiration.

Eddie...The s-i-l has been out a few times in her kayak. Yesterday she caught 9 large mouths with the biggest one being 21". My wife is taking this coming Friday off and will do her maiden voyage in her new Old Town PDL 120. She had been waiting for the water to warm up a little. I am sure most weekends will find them on the lake.

Hope you all have a good week. Stay safe and keep healthy.
