I hate to bring up mother nature but she has been kind to us the last couple days.. working on a few repairs on our fleet is much easier when the sun is shining , and the temps are in the 30s . Jonny found the bad spot in blue thunders lite switch, I mentioned “I think its in the switch”. He took a gander and sure enough. !0 minutes later I had on two new connections. Actually it took me a little longer not wearing my cheater glasses the first time I crimped the wrong end.
Jonny boy pulled the broken radiator out of the 3/4 ton beast. Dragging the road being so bumpy from the way the lake froze was just to much for a plastic radiator, as she had broken last thursday. Of course the new used one came and was not right. Improvising Jonny boy was able to bvpass the oil cooler for now. The red baron is still in the shop . The manager told me they were going to take it out for a test drive and both u bolts broke? Of course its not like you can go down to the parts store and pick up a new set for a 34 year old truck. Last years lake conditions sure took a toll on our fleet of houses and vehicles’. Its never been easy ,challenging yes, fun yes, has more then one curse word been said? “nope” many many curse words and been screamed. Throwing the radiator into the aluminum scrap. I noticed radiators do not last. I think there is about 20 in the pile. There all going to the scrap yard this coming spring.
Jake rolled in last night with the boys to work and scout/fish. Jonny went out monday and tracked down a elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie which of course put a fire under Jake. He loves chasing them true trophy fish. He started guiding full time for all species of fish this past fall. His specialty is Musky, Sturgen, crappies and the bottom feeding walleye. He also makes some very very impressive musky baits. There pieces of art to me. Check them out.
JENI BOU BAITS. His guide service is On the pond outdoors. Mention my name and you might get a discount might.
Enough of that heres the latest fishing report from our fleet. over the last few days.
Old minnesota has had my brother and shannon . We figured they landed over 20 walleyes a couple jumbo perch a small pike or two over the last few days, I even got to not only wet a line but land a fish or two. we had a fish fry a couple nights ago and are shooting for another before they head back to Chicago. The yuks/laughs have been on going as he is quite funny and witty, They say Laughing make you younger and I think I may of gained a year or two back. Might even been a tear or two.
Florida had Dave, Scott, Robin and ? Super nice people. They were having a grand time on a grand lake. Jonny boy hung out with them for a bit sunday night. They had a big fish fry plus had 5 in there bucket yesterday morning.
Northh dakota had joel kelly and there son ar? They also landed some fish but had better luck on the tip ups out in front of the picture window. Again super nice people.
Elliot and his crew are in kentucky. Elliot had been here before. They were not doing that well but having a blast ., We moved them yesterday so we will see how they did later today when we say good bye. I know jonny boy had gone over with his electronics to try and help them land more then a couple of fish. I stopped by the first morning they had two lines in when they could of had 7?

Today the hammer and I have been married 43 years , I sure landed a keeper when I met her. Going down those stairs it was Love at first site. I have always said I love you. I think everyday. Thats a lot of I love you’s 365 day time 43 years plus some times more then once.
It should or could be a grand day, on a grand lake that owes us nothing
