This year will be tougher to get to spend much time with our customers.. Due to the covid we Will have to spend less amount of time when checking in on our clients, then coming back to check in @ visit, as we have a way of bringing a little luck when visit for a bit.
Feel free to bring what ever makes you feel safer from the covid. We did get rid of all comforter’s on beds and all pillows. I also got rid of cards and cribbage boars. I now have a new system to prep our houses. I tried to eliminate
things that may be handled quite a bit. I have left the dishes ,pots, pans etc. the houses have sinks with dish soap .
When I check in customer’s I always request they leave the houses like they were when you checked in. Meaning not a sink full of dirty dishes. I always get a kick out of vacuuming the houses after the guest depart. I always think to my self. I’m vacuuming a fish house. “funnny story marty was prepping a house one year while I was working out side. I thought what the heck could be taking him so long? I go over there, step in the house. The hose for edges had came of and filled the vacuum with water. What a mess”
Jonny boy has been busting his butt getting customers on fishy areas. He sure has a good knack for finding the right spots. To bad they burn out. Never hurts to go back to them spots later in the year though.
We had a full house plus 1/2 dozen wheel houses camping down on our lake shore this weekend.
Jason and his son camped in Montana they had never caught a walleye through the ice so they struggled the first days. Yesterday Johnny boy set them up and they did better with a bonus fish Yes a elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie.
Jeff and his crew in North Dakota did well both days.
Rick and his buddies were in Florida, they have fished here before and had her dialed in.
Solly and his crew? I have no idea how they did. They are staying in Kentucky house. Just did not too visit with them.
Old minnesota was a cancelation so our grand daughter Ashley and her guy Kevin came up to help me out. I know Ashley wanted to fish. Not sure if they were able to get out or not. Ashley did say she was going to go fish with Kirk out of one of bear paws houses.
California was a no show, we did get 2 younger guys last night that were from southern Wisconsin. They had fished all day with not a bite. Red lake was not being kind to them. Sage’s auger broke so he had to purchase a new auger. Then his wheeler hit the back of his truck window when loading and smashed it in too a million pieces. I ask Johnny boy to take them under his wings today and help them out.
Chris frolic came up. He also landed a fat elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie, on a grand lake that owes us nothing!
The rest of the campers I have no clue how they have done. I also had 3 trucks that used our access. I know one of them got 1 fish.
This weekend was nothing like last weekend as far as fishpeople so that was a good thing in my book. I would guestment there 1/2 of what we had last weekend.
The big yellow food truck was here again set up a Hillmans so I had to have another one of those burritos, Going to try the tacos next time.. At this rate maybe I should by some stock in it.
Blue thunders radiator needs to come out today . I’m hoping they can fix it.
The torpedo needs to be fired up so we can cover the truck with the parachute .It’s amazing how warm it get under there when its set up right.
I’m still waiting on the fuel pressure gage I ordered. In hindsight I should of waited tell I was in Bemidji as I have been there 3 times since I ordered it. More hindsight. I sure use that word a lot. Still have not figured out the problem but I refuse to buy anymore parts un tell we figure out what’s the problem. We do know the injector on the right starts to spit and sputter at higher rpms.
The new red truck is fighting me a bit. 1 gas tank wrong, were now up to our 4th fuel pump. Yesterday we got another new tank with pump and straps. The other tank kit now has to be shipped back to a1?
The red baron needs a wiper motor which I have no clue how you get that out .Looks like they designed the truck around it? Also one of the trucks needs another blower motor they sure go out a lot on Chevys’.
Black beauty ‘s tranny got damaged towing the red baron home. The plan is to drive it tell she quits. Its I decent truck so it will get repaired.
White lighting has a transfer case problem so Johnny boy is looking for a used one.
Wow the fleet seems to be growing.
very busy day here as we have a whole new set of guest coming with 3 houses being used tonight.
