Hey all,

Ice the ice covered with snow or still super slick? I'll be up next weekend to "win" that sweet Cat sled biggrin and maybe a little fishin' as long as I'm there. Of coarse the conditions may change so I'll be pestering everyone until then. Stay warm!

North of Gladstone it's OK, with cleats needed in certain areas. South of Gladstone, bring your skates and a helmet. Seems the older I get , the smaller steps I take. While drilling holes the other day if anyone was watching me , I probably looked like Tim Conway doing his Old Man shuffle , because my cleats don't fit over my new boots. I hate falling on the ice, hurts like hell and is even worse the days to follow. Good Luck, Slammer!!!

The last time I was up there I watched a couple dudes litterrally spinning in a circle when drilling, kind of amusing. But I know too well about ice and gravity.

I know , I know !!!! Don't think I'm stupid Schmutz........ I did pour da beer on da auger, but she just got tuned up and was spinnin so fast it looked like I wet myself again. Tried yer advice wit da toenails, but da damn beer run down my leg and froze my toes to da cuffs of my bibs. I lost two nails and left a pretty good blood trail back to da shack. Den later, da Warden shows up and tinks I'm hiding fish again cuz he seen a blood trail and no fish to be found. He was gonna write me a ticket till I kicked my boot off and showed him da bloody stumps and told em wat happen. When he asked me where ja ever git a dumb idea like dat, I told him from Ol' Schmutz. He laughed so hard He pi$$ed his self and froze to da ice right der next to da shack, giving me plenty time to pick up all my tip ups and get da hell out of der. Now who's laughin!!!!!!! Slammer!!!!

Hey Slammer, I saw dat der Warden out der a standin so I decided I a gunna help give him a thaw... After all was done he asked to see da license so I borrowed me a screwdriver and a took it off da bumper for him. He thought I was a forigner from wisconsin, but I told him I don't live der I just sleep there when I a pass out in da bar der. Den his sled wouldnt start. Can you believe I couldn't even find da pull cord on dat der Otter. I gave him a beer and after a sit I gava him a ride to da Rapid River Pub. Nice guy so greatful he pulled out a tablet and started writin den gave me a whole bunch a paper. Figure it was to start a fire since we were both cold by now...
