Derby shack is out.
« on: Jan 21, 2023, 08:21 PM »
Saw derby headquarters shack today. All open water behind it. No Bob house village this year. Center had some ice but was open water and full chop beyond the 1st point. Saw a hardside on a smaller lake. Ice to be had just have to scout.

Power glitched once here Frank…I’m surprised it hasn’t gone out because my big pines branches are touching the ground! The night is still young though! 😂 Not going to go out and blow it tonight…getting windy as hell. It can wait until morning…

I am with Ray... and for some reason cell service went to sh%t too... so currently working (and on here) from a parking lot in town....

Generator keeps needed lights, heat, fridge and well on... so really nothing to complain about.

Clean-up blew a potential fishing day.... which is probably the worst of it, maybe tomorrow.

No power outage for me, but just got lucky.  Cable was out for a few hours yesterday.  Lots of power outages all around me in the neighborhood/town.  Neighbors just down the street had a tree land on their house.

I have a couple small trees down in the back yard, will need to break out the chainsaw.

Wind and sun has removed most of the snow from the trees.

I got so sick of dealing with the trees each winter I finally had enough 2 summers ago and I dropped 72 trees in the yard so now nothing can touch my house or shop or wires if anymore go down. What a project though. Just finally got around to Stumping this past fall.

72 Trees is a lot of timber - and stumps.... I wouldn't have to do quite that many but I would have to take out a few neighbor's trees to completely isolate the house/wires.  After this storm however I do have a few tagged for the chipper this spring/summer.

Power back... not a bad 26 hours.

If it wasn't for Al's goldfish living next to you Frank, I would have no idea yall got so much snow. Nothing on our southern new england news stations. For all of you on here, I know you guys can survive it better than anyone. Maybe even embrace it and enjoy it. Lol

My wife just told me that if I dont go fishing this weekend,  i better sleep with my eyes open,  she said  I'm getting to be a cranky old man,and she said   it aint all works fault.. my reply, " but honey, whatever do you mean,".. she didn't  say a word- she didn't need to.

I hate slush.. I hate sleeping  with my eyes open more.

Sounds like you did ok Roc. Tough to beat a woman that threatens you about not going fishing.
Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.

This was my last night of no power with my 3 ladies and the pup,  it was a love hate relationship. See what the winds do tonight after the 5 more inches last night. I can see the light for now
