The boys John and Richy and our grand daughter Ashly kept busy Thursday into Friday. After spending most of the day lite out on the lake they started to tackle blue thunder again. Working in the dark with White lightnings headlights giving them light, I have no clue how they repaired her again. From my research they would need a few specialty tools . I woke up Friday morning to look out the window to see blue thunder turned around.
With customer arriving. Ashly was going to clean and detail the houses. Around 9;30 after a couple calls to Ashly I walked over to wake her and crack the whip. There would be plenty of time to sleep sunday. After rousting her I find out once they got blue thunder going they headed out on the lake tell 5 am, prepping for the weekend. I think Jonny boy was on a mission to get all the houses on fresh ice. I again stayed off the lake most of the day, until customers started arriving. I figured I could escort them out so the crew could keep plugging away.
Once I dropped off Cody and his family off at Colorado fish house I drove over to say hello to Rick and the guys in North Dakota fish house. I have no clue what time they checked in but they had 2 in the bucket and had released a couple smaller fish. That was at least a encouraging site as I plan on fishing old Minnesota everyday starting sunday. Old Minnesota is just south of north Dakota 150 feet or so. I can see how I can do after we have clients fishing in it yesterday and today. I plan on fishing it 3 or 4 nights in a row before the guys move it for the up and coming weekend for Wayne and Paul.
Kevin and his crew are staying in Kentucky .They brought sleds so are planning to go find the fish rather then wait for them to swim under the house.
Jonny boy and Richy got the last house moved, California while the customers waited. I did visit for a minute . They were being very patient plus excited to see the house being prepped onto a new spot.
Yesterday morning I took the red baron to the gas station to fuel her up. I’ve got to be honest. It felt good to feel the power of that 454 as I shifted the gears to see how the tranny felt.
Today I’m going to clean up our driveway with blue thunder to see how she feels.
Next week the guys getjust a little break as nothing is rented un tell Friday when again we have a full house.
I’ll shoot for a fishing report Monday morning as 3 of the houses have repeat customers that I can maybe visit a bit.
Its a busy Saturday here on the shores of upper red lake. Red lake adventures has there big walleye tournament today. register at there place. Rodgers is hosting the ice castle event on land I believe? Jrs under new ownership is having there indoor fishing contest which is a hoot.
Next weekend Hillmans has there super bowl Chile cook off. I asked the hammer to enter. I may also make a entry. Its always a treat to taste different chile’s.
A few more tid bits to try and make the world a little better.
recycle old electronics,
Do not spread fake news “not even a fishing report”
Adopt a pet. I sure would like to have a cat again. The hammer would rather wait.
