"Not sure what “Jeresy” gloves are but they worked well ;) ".... lol there used by people with soft hands that live in "jersey" steve !! you know like our minnesnoda mittens that keep our digits from freezing off? lol
Sorry we weren’t able to hook up last week. All of that crazy weather kind of threw me for a loop and was running around like a headless chicken for work. How was fishing?

fishing was not bad at first.. 29 nice walleyes for 3 full days of catching two were 21" and a single 20" the rest were in the 17" range... we stayed at the "wally Hilgenberg camp"(Minnesota Vikings player, don't know if you remember him or not...) we were also able to hook up on some nicer little football's in the 13" which we kept instead of the couple dozen smaller walleye's that went back till next year! the niece is best friends with wally's daughter as they were in the "Miss USA Pageant" in the 90's .. so made good contacts. pretty much a private lake.
 
It’s 4th of July and it’s 95 degrees, why not split some wood?!

Turned this pile and three smaller ones into splits today. Not exaggerating, there were probably butt and trunk sections from 40 different trees in here as these piles have been growing for 5 years and the pieces that could be split by hand have already been processed.

Nothing wrong with splitting wood on the 4th of July...... if your in the Southern Hemisphere!

I like "one size fits most"

I caught my first two walleye 2 years ago. One was 23 and one was 25". Kinda sad considering in the 80s project 70/lake marburg brought people from all over the east coast just to fish for eyes. Still big ones in there just not common. Watched a 36 come throw the ice the other year. Also produces monster musky with at least 1 or 2 50" plus a year coming out of the lake.
 
No rain to speak of for about 6 weeks now... and the Azores high is stil firmly parked over the UK....long range forecasts is 2 more weeks of about 30C sunshine. this is gonna be the long hot summer to finally beat the summer of '76!
Are manufacturers still running out of CO2 with the alarming possibility of pubs running dry?
