Iambjm Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Back home from the Piggy Perchin Party and I had a blast!!! We had a fantastic cabin, good food, met some nice new people. I do wish I had taken more pictures, but will post what I have. I really wish more people could have attended, especially more of the female forum members.

Iambjm Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 NICE CABIN!! It's just gorgeous!! So you gals had some fun did ya? Did you catch alot? Thanks for putting up pic Barb-your cell phone is pretty nice isn't it? Did you mix up some punch? How many women did attend? The cabin was definitely first class, even had towels, dish soap, shampoo, hair dryer, over in the corner by the TV there was a unit that Char was able to plug her IPod into and play music. The only other woman we saw other than our group was Dietz's wife. The fishing wasn't that great, but Sunday Hope and I sat in my little Menards Ice Bandit shack (POS) and watched the perch swimming all around which was kinda fun. Couldn't get them to bite though. Yes I did have some Mille Lacs wedding punch which I introduced Tami to. I think she kinda like it too..........Sunday we hit the casino for the buffet before we headed home, either I overate or I ate something that didn't agree with me. By the time I got home my gut hurt so bad I could hardly stand it. Continued all through last night, and I feel pretty wiped out this morning. Gonna take a nap and maybe have enough strength to go chase some crappies this afternoon. I am amazed at what great pictures my new phone takes!

Lisa Almquist Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You are a fishin' machine Barb! Did you get a new shelter? Or is that the one that you already have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambjm Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I bought this one three years ago before I moved up here, never took it out of the box until the week before Burntside. I was going to bring it up there, but after spending 2 1/2 hours trying to get it set up in the garage and having half the bolts and nuts fall off I kicked it to the wall and said to heck with it. I was going to haul my old beat up Otter to Mille Lacs, but wanted to take the wheeler too. So I tackled the POS again and took that. The tent is so tight on the frame that the doors wont zip shut, I am going to set it up again at home and take a picture of it. Hopefully if I leave it set up for a while it will stretch out a little. Once we got it set up, it wasn't so bad. It at least kept the wind off of us. Friday and Saturday afternoon we fished out in the open and the wind was brutal. The air temp wasn't so bad but that wind went right through us. Sunday started out kinda breezy so we figured might as well give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Almquist Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I hate to fish in the wind. Something always goes wrong and then you're fixing it with frozen hands. EW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeforfish Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am taking it easy this weekend, I was a bit sore after last weekend. I will be giving blood on Saturday and hitting one of the sporting goods stores, which is a treat I give myself everytime I give blood.Hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdeLakeTom Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 How many gallons you up to??? You really don't have to answer if you don't want to....giving blood is a gift to everybody!!! WTG!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambjm Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 I have probably donated 3-4 gallons over my lifetime, but they won't take mine anymore. I will be out hitting the lakes everyday I can until ice out!! Then it it is spring crappie time. Tonight I am treating myself to either a margarita or a Mille Lacs wedding punch.....This is my anniversary, 20 years ago today I quit smoking!!!!

hopeforfish Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This donation will make 2 gallons. I had to give up donating for a while due to some medication I was on and now I try to get in more. It helps that my step mom used to work for Memorial Blood Centers for 27 years. Hope Barb congrats on the 20 years, with the prices I may have to consider quiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
