No need to even stop at 100.....just keep on going, no need to stop at 200, just keep on going....LOL


Now you're confusing me with Uncle Lee.

I just can't help meself if'n I see a lonely uncared for 'misfit toy' eh?

Some saws are worth the effort and 6 cube huskys are legends.
 
Mornin' All......it's a winter wonderland out there this morning....only got about 3" but it's that heavy wet snow....no wind so it stuck to everything....every branch, twig, power line...everything covered. Went down to Stonington last night to have supper with two other couples.....old friends that helped so much at our island wedding last summer.....we brought a Saab full of grub from Barncastle.....some amber beverages....etc. Had a great meal then went down to town where part of the local "Winterfest" was going on. Real big deal for the locals....big party after most all the flatlanders have run away....lobster boat parades, competitions, dance etc...two day event.....huge $$$$$$ in the lobster catch the last couple yrs...big party!!!! Anyway it was snowing very hard and we all went to watch the fireworks.......now I've seen some pretty darn impressive fireworks before like NYC 1976 4th Bicentennial.......but this was absolutely stunning.......very large show......and the real high displays ,that had a lot of bright white light were unbelievable in the snow. The finale was killer...had you rocking back on yer heels and laughing uncontrollably.....I meeeen....... it was fireworks with an island attitude!!!! They have an annual display on the 4rth, over the harbor which we always watch from our boat.....real good display....all the boaters and summer people have a good time.......but this was different.....more.....better......huge....like a well kept island secret.......just put on, by and for the people that fish and winter there.....35 mph all the way home.....heavy snow couldn't see well but we paddled right along in the Saab, those studded snows doing their job..no problem...

Sounds like a great time !
 
They have a 'fishery' on Lake Winnebago in February up in Oshkosh WI.

The year I was there everyone drove out the boat ramps at Millers park and parked side by side on the ice.

I mean 1000s of cars, they had beer tents fishing derbys and fourwheel drive races (trucks with giant spikes in their tires)


Food galore, what a party!

Guess some years it has been canceled because of lack o' ice, but going back is on me bucket list fo' sure!
