not worried... 2 days ago...that Ion was 4" shy of going through.
MADE YOU LOOK! I know my Ion looked the same this weekend. People keep warning me about the danger of melting ice and how they saw on TV that people had to take their bob houses off the lakes (not sure where they heard that) I smile and nod. Then I tell them that in the last 2 weeks we have gained 1" -2" of ice and that it is around 2' thk. and they just tilt their head and open their mouth like a dog in disbelief. 2' of ice still doesn't make 70 deg. in Feb any less obscene.
Caution some viewers may consider photo OBSCENE! I know I do and it tuns my stomach!!!!
I’m offended ....I think I need a hug
I was out this morning so foggy you couldn't see 10 feet in front of you. Loved it cleared around 9:30.
Ok Snowflake here you go 😙😙That's as close as I could get from my phone. 🤣

Goodbye 70 hello snow
.. 7 degree low on Monday.... 70+ high on Wednesday... Snowing on Thursday...GOD I LOVE THIS PLACE.. they can take Florida and stick it where the Sun don't shine!... I was born here...I'll die here!
Looks good. Might be time to arrange a visit. Down by me the stripers are waking up in the housy.
I must say when I got home from work yesterday I was feeling like I should be getting a bucket of eels and heading for the boat.. I made a comment to my better half...My wife ( who does not fish) told me I was a silly old man and needed to wake up... it's still February... your on "ice fishing vacation next week".. "remember last year" she quipped... I promptly got a cold beer and changed 10% of the water in my bait tank !Bring on March!
"I made a comment to my better half" and the voice of reason
you got that right brother... always the voice of reason...she's the one that "made me" get a trailer for my quad... she saw me load it onto the bed of my new Silverado 2500 ( I had a 1500 before that) and said uh-uh...I buried one husband..I aint doing it again!... I only resisted mildly
Amen to that Joe!!New England till I die.....
