It rained pretty hard and was windy for several hours last night here in Madison County.The snow got knocked down a lot and I am sure it was a tremendous help for our ponds here. We only got a dusting here and the wind blew all of it into Massachusettes. We are good to go for tomorrow boys. I will take a drive today and spud/drill some waters!

Will post R$C later!!

Lee's out there fishing today, he'll need about 3 coats of camp dry on his scout. crazy Raining here as well. frown Off to the dealer shortly cleaned up the inside of my Venture as much as one can in the rain. Were trying to buy in Rome, will see what Gabe can do on the 08 T&C as we have a couple Uplander options and hour away. smile

This is just BULL-@#$T. I FINALLY got on the ice and now it will be gone! Oh well it was a little thin anyways as it was cracking and making other noises when walking on it. I'm calling it 2.5" whistle Did however ice some nice perch though. Now I'll have to get the boat back out!

I new I would be getting over this cold about the same time the temps went back down where they belong. Should be over it by Thurs, Friday at the latest, Then I can finally hit the ice.

Thunder thanx for all you've done for me, AL. This is my new handle on here, in memory of the best Beagle I ever owned.

Just got done shoveling 6" out of my drive not to mention all the stuff the snowplow deposited at the end of my drive and in front of the mailbox. Thank god for pain meds. Yepper I think winter is here to keep us company for a while. Now we just need the wind to clean off the ice for us.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
