Top ten:
10 Neighbors see me gathering five gallon buckets for no apparent reason.
9 Buying lots of mantles and coleman fuel.
8 Walmart sees me buying a bunch of line and wool socks.
7 Seen pacing fogging up the windows everyday for the past two weeks.
6 Wife exclaims 'what's so darned important about the gorge, it's freezing out!" ...I have no wife, ...with good reason.
5 Endless hunting for my favorite mittens, the ones with the beaver fur and strings that go around my neck.
4 Have started buying dead things for fish bait.
3 Neighbors start calling about that nut with the noisy ice auger and the blue smoke coming from the garage.
2 White bucket of water brought into the living room for the fish finder transducer to swim in.
1 Concrete garage floor has mysterious stone circles chopped out.....what is that??? Iceshantyhenge!
Hope you enjoyed the fun. I will check Big Fire Hole this weekend, there should be some fishable ice VERY soon.
