Have you still got much snow up there John. The frost is out of the ground down here. Frogs are going to start peeping in the next few days. See you at the banquet, bring sun blocker.

If you're tired of folding up one of those clam portables, I know someone that would put good use to it.  :laugh:

It's all dried out and put away for the summer. Even stuffed a cat inside to take care of any mice that might want to chew on it. I also bought a ultra lite Frabill one man setup at Marden's last weekend for $45.00. Looks like it could be good for hunting for the hot spots.

I think all wives think the same, although my wife likes it up north also........as long as we are staying where there is a bathroom and shower.......the word "outhouse" is not in her vocabulary.   ::)

My wife thinks Ice fishing is nuts, but the kids loved it this year. I can't wait to take them out next year.  :tipup:

LOL

I thought of the joke where the wife is telling the neighbors that her husband is crazy and turns to him and says,....
 "Honey, Show em your nuts"   ;D

I've opened up both of my portables, cleaned and dry them out and put them away. Auger cleaned and put away with some stable in the tank, plow cleaned and put away in the barn. Lawn almost all raked, boat & camper almost ready to go. Open water can't get here soon enough.
