If it doesn't freeze down here in SW Ohio, it's still your fault!!! ;)
My two favorite college football teams are Ohio State and whoever's playing Michigan!!!

Don't reel against the drag!!!

air jigging in the garage always puts first ice off!

Nice tools Jimbo. Still plenty of time to build slammers, resurrect gear, tangle lines, etc, etc.

Myself having an old Honda 3 wheeler like that, it may not be the prettiest but will always keep going
Is that Light bar in the Ice house self built or a option from Eskimo?

Strip LED's from Amazon, installed during th house assembly process.
they are self adhesive but the glue isnt that great. I did find some clear heat shrink tubing
that will fit over the tubes and lights. If they come loose that will be the cure

Definitely getting stir crazy! Done big game hunting, too warm for ducks, no ice to speak of, I may just pull the boat out next week. I'm sure the wife would rather I caught up on the chores I've been putting off for the last 3 months while hunting.....boat sounds better!

It's giving you time to build a set of chains for that wheeler.
Honda store had a one day sale on Saturday for 20% off on ATV chains
They will be here this week :)
