With a slower week were hoping to have some time to regroup as it has been go go go. I sure enjoyed visiting customers these past few days.
We opened up a new area that has some potential. Jonny boy was scouting it out last night. It sure is nice having him spending nights on the lake as he can keep track of the times the fishing is best, worst, no good, good etc.
I do have to do list that keeps growing. Yesterday we were able to knock out a couple of things as we got montana and florida moved to new spots. Of course, the spots we plowed out for wheelhouses had some darn good fishing.
The elusive yet still catchable crappies were biting all over the lake the last few days. We have heard reports all over the place. Last year them 9, 10 inchers we were seeing are now 11 and 12 inches.
Old minnesota had jerry and his buddy. They rolled in late friday night. They had 2 keepers saturday morning when I swung in. They had some odd bait, so I had them go get some regular minnows. I ‘m not sure how they finished as they were gone early sunday morning when I got out there at 630 am. I did notice some corn in the holes?
It was nice to see rick and matt they were in north dakota. Rick got a fat 15 plus crappie. They also landed 2 more elusive yet catchable upper red lake crappies. They took home 6 walleys,3 crappies, 5 perch plus threw quite a few smaller walleyes back. I have always said if you’re getting small walleyes the crappies could be in the area as well as a roaming pike. We did not get to visit as Rick has a baby at home with some health issue, they are dealing with, so we wanted to be very careful.
Montanna had Mia and Randy, Randy was nice enough to pick up my new tire chains from fleet farm, I had to go there Saturday to drop off my generator for the second time, I also had to pay for the chains as when he picked them up, he did not pay. The manager was so nice that I told them as they had no clue. She gave me 20 percent off.
They had some good fishing with Mia releasing a 15-inch elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie. They sent me a message how they had a wonderful time making many first experiences In there 28 years of marriage.
Florida had Jake his wife Katie athere 2 kids Otto and Sophia. They had some good action the first night with some misses. the second night was much slower. Jake did take the kids out exploring but did not have much luck. He did say he put on a show drilling holes…
Alaska had Will, Bill and the two boys, they had descent action. Bill had a giant of a pike on saturday night. It was quite the battle only to lose it after 30 minutes. They also caught some nice walleyes plus a few elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies landing 4 the last night. They enjoyed a fish fry plus took home some fish.
Utah had Allen they had a hoot landing 9 yes 9 elusive yet catchable upper red lake crappies with a few over 14. I think he said they only got 1 walleye. He did send me some pics but but have no idea how they were sent?
We also had kevin and his son fishing in the new skid house we acquired. They only landed a few keeper walleye’s.
I still have not added it to our web site. It can sleep 3 has a 4-burner stove, oven. tv and dvd player. I think we will name it Alabama.
I did talk to Jake; he figured the bite was so good due to the new moon.
Glen was out there last night on a new spot. They only landed 3 keeper walleyes on a new spot.
Fred and Melisa are in California they have had good action. They leave today so we will see how they did last night.
We did get down to jrs for the firework show that the ice castle group put on. I heard there were over 400 ice castle registered. Another great fire work show, plus we had a fish fry at jrs that hit the spot. They sure have their fish fry dialed in.

It looks like another inch of snow is coming followed by more high winds. Mother nature sure is mad this year. Looking back though, she is really about normal as your always battle her on a “Grand lake that owes us nothing”

Jan 27th 2022

Mother nature will just not give us a break this year. The winds were again a nightmare out on the lake yesterday. Buddy Hillman was dragging the road last night when I came off the lake. As I was traveling in off the lake in blue thunder, I heard a slapping sound. Stopping to investigate. I had broken another tire chain. The left one broke on tuesday the right one on wednesday. I did have one spare but now need to track down another set. I really do not feel like making the track to bemidji this morning.
I have also started plugging in blue thunder, knock on wood, why I did not start doing that when I first saw she had a block heater. wow what a difference.
We are seriously planning on building a shop this spring, summer. Ideally, we would like a lift plus a drain. Not sure how the fleet would react to spending the night inside though.
Jonny boy moved a house out to a way point from last year. Him and Scott had pretty good action there the first night. Will see how he did last night before we make the big move. We also had another spot that did real well last weekend we have our eye on for a couple wheel houses this weekend.
The icog event is this weekend. The fireworks show they put on is well worth the time spent watching it. Were roughly 7 miles from jrs so the traffic will not affect are fishing grounds.
Yesterday was again a busy day on the lake. Steave left from utah with his 4 walleyes plus he took home 3 elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies. Steve owns a pole lumber yard in new brighten.
Matt and Chris were in montana on a new spot as well. They landed 7 not so elusive upper red lake crappies. They ate some walleye plus took home a few.
Jerry spent the night in california where he struggled to catch any fish. he did get a 19 inch walleye.
The hammer and I had dinner in old minnesota on a new spot. She was a little rusty and missed a couple fish plus lost a elusive crappie at the bottom of the hole. I got a fat 18 off the northland purple buckshot followed by a elusive 11 inch crappie on the rattle wheel. Just like that I was up on the hammer 2 nothing. She was not taking that and proceeded to land a fat healthy 14 plus elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie. Then she landed 2 walleyes back-to-back plus lost another at the hole. We enjoyed a couple movies and called here quits around 10pm still marking fish.
With the wind howling and of course a little snow squall we plugged away yesterday. Putting montana ,north dakota, alaska , and utah on new spots. Today we need to move california and florida while we again battle nw winds. Plus I’m sure we will be doing some snow drift cleanup.
We also added a skid house to the fleet. It will sleep 3. It does have a oven with 4 burner stove at is open this weekend plus the rest of the season. I have not given it a state name yet but will soon.
Montana canceled next weekend. feb 4t 5th. beside the new skid house that sleeps 3 all of the houses are rented every friday saturday the rest of the season.
Time to do the books and track down another set of tire chains to finish out the season.
We did have Alaska and Utah with customers last night so will see how they did later today. Until then if you spend time here on upper red lake just remember as the old timer Dave told me “It’s a grand lake that owes us nothing nothing!!

jan 24th 2022

Wow Mother nature was mad friday as we worked are assess off moving 5 houses in white out conditions. Clancy, john and Zack in north dakota got to enjoy the show from the comforts of a warm cozy house. They did get 8 fish and a elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie thursday night.
We had to have Gary and his two grandsons Luke and Will pack there things on the bed as Florida had to be moved. Thay had 6 keepers from thursday night. The new spot was not as good but the house was safe again.
Montana was next. Mitch and Tracy would be arriving around 2. We got them checked in a little late as again the conditions were a battle to say the least. Sometimes you were lucky to see 100 yards. Mitch had been here over 10 years ago. I never got to spend much time visiting with them. They only got 3 keepers. Again at least the houses were safe.
I checked in Jerry and Susie into old minnesota. they got 4 nice keepers the first night with the biggest coming at 230 am. Super nice couple that are still here.
Alaska and Utah had the owners in them. Alaska got 4 elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies with my old helper Big Tony landing 2 over 14 inches. They also got a few walleyes. Utah had also gotten at least one elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie.. No idea how many walleyes they caught as he left early sunday morning.
California had Jarrod, Rupa, and Landon. They arrived saturday just after we got the house moved. We had moved it before the big blow so we just had to dig it out and take it to a new spot. The door was cracked open when I walked in. There was basically a truck load of snow in the house, I was not planning on that. They have also caught 2 elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappies and a few walleyes.
Still trying too get the electrical problem solved on the red baron. I did talk to my old friend Tommy that owned a street rod shop I worked at 25 years ago. He is a wiring Genius so he gave me some things to try to find where the short may be..
Blue thunder was mad at me yesterday morning. I managed to flood her when I went to start her. At 20 below I screwed up pumping the 4 barrel carb. I plugged her in for the first time ever? A couple hours later she was running again.
Jonny boy, I and Dann then got montana, north dakota, utah moved. We were behind schedule as blue thunder caught me off guard.
I have to go to bemidji this morning as we have a generator that got looked at. They said it had bad gas? How bad gas could of gotten in there I have no clue. All the other generators avoided the bad gas?
Jonny boy will hold down the fort. He did spend the night out there, so we had fishermen in 5 houses out there last night.
Buddy Hillmans road is in great shape with plenty of areas too find fresh fishing spots. It goes out about 5 miles straight west. The south side of the road has sank so going south would be a very bad idea. I’m also planning on doing some fishing this week so everyone wish me some luck on ” a grand lake that owes us nothing”

jan 21rst 2022

Will start with the fleet and go from there. Picked up the red baron sunday late afternoon. Our electrical problems are still giving me grief as I only made to 3 miles out of town before it blew the ecm fuse. Another fuse and it popped again. One more same thing so now we have to tow it back to town with nowhere to turn around, The 3 mile tow turned into a 15 mile tow as we had to turn around at lost river road.
I sure miss having that truck.
Sunday we had more guest checking in and a couple still here from friday.
Bob and Rick were in old minnesota, Inever got to play any cribbage with them but did spend a little quality time with them for a bit as the winds picked up to white out conditions after 3 inches of fresh snow. They did go home with 6 walleyes and rick snagged a elusive upper red lake crappie plus they ate a couple
Mother nature can be relentless out there. I had all the guest hunkered down hoping I would not get a call/ Jonny boy spent the night out there to fish plus come to the rescue if we had any problems. We did have a problem with alarm in the alaska ice castle. The guys survived but it was annoying to say the least. They had the best fishing landing 20 fish with 8 elusive upper red lake crappies. They did keep the two biggest over 14 and released the smaller ones.
We also checked in Randy his wife Cindy? into montana ,there friends checked into florida. I think Gary and Mary got there 8. Randy and Cindy also caught some fish bot nothing to brag about. Gary said the bite was so lite they were tough to get.
Wednesday we spent a better part of the day helping clear Hillmans road as the winds had taken all the roads and trails. All our houses also had to be dug out. Just about dark Jonny boy lost a cv joint on rusty trusty. One trip to blackduck for the wrong part. Thursday we had him go to bemidji for the right one, He then got back to install it yesterday. Buddy hillman was nice enough to let us use his shop. doing it in the driveway would of been miserable.
I think I hear the wind howling out there. ERRRR/ with some more snow coming followed by some more winds its going to again be a long weekend here on the shores of upper red lake. I’ll try my no snow snow dance but do not have one for the wind. Tryng to plan for the snow and winds is all most impossibe. We have a busy day today as I do not want montana and florida stuck where they are as there is a ton of snow.

jan 16th 2021

Just looked at the weather. The predicted snow went just to the sw of us.
Its been a busy week here on the shores of upper red lake. We had guest coming and going.
Jonny boy was able to take the red chevy trusty rusty his her new nick name. That truck has some rust for sure.
He was able to fix the gas line leak but it was not easy. He said we should replace all the fuel lines this summer.
Is sure nice having the v plow back on the ice as it opens up alot more fishing grounds for us.
More good news as the red baron is also done. hoping to go pick her up this afteernoon.
We has some interesting guest this past week. Mark and renet managed 5 small ones as they were on a fresh spot for one night.
Steave and Cindy were a retired couple, that were trying a sleeper fish house for the first time. I sure enjoyed visiting with them. Cindy did get a nice one over 20 inches plus they did get a few others, but it was slow on that new spot also.
Jim and Gale were two nights in old minnesota. They moved right in and were home away from home. They had a few the first night. I think they went home with 6.
We moved John s and his crew after the second day with 7 fish. It was a big move that did not pay off. Tom did say it was better where they were.

kellie and I had to make a run to Fargo so jonny boy was in charge of cutting us a new path further out. He found an area we have fished before. Some fish have been caught there. I was excited as we got the whole fleet over the new area.
Seems the very end has had the better fishing.
Making the rounds friday night there was some excitment as Kyle and his guest were having some action in montana when I stopped in. They had 5. and had missed a couple.
California was 200 feet away with Chad and his dad Jeff they could not by a bite? It was dark when I went buy there last night.
Florida has our crew from Iowa. Sarah, Ken, Carl and Terry. They also had action friday night. Not fast and furious but some action. They loaded me up on breakest burrittos for jonny and me Venison Jerky, steak bites. They sure enjoy there trip every year and have it dialed in.
Old Minnesota Had Ryan and Devin. They had also had no action the first night. That sure surprised me after seeing all the action in montana just to the south.
We also checked in guest that were coming yesterday so we will have to see how they did. As of last night it was slow slow slow. I sure was bummed coming off the lake last night as all the houses are on fresh spots further out.
We will have to figure it out today and go from there.

jan 10th 2022

Most years I do not count the days tell the season is over. With all these crazy winds I’am tempted to say the least.
I was going to have a procedure done on the 7th so I had to get the covid test. To my surprise tuesday morning jan 4th got the email positive. Another weekend I would not be making the rounds . I was pretty much delegated to staying in the vehicles. I never felt anything. Maybe a slight headache one day. I did hit a wall on thursday but i think i was just burned out with a average of 4 hours sleep for a few days. Mother nature has been so brutal.
Our friend Darrin came up to help us get all the houses moved and reset for the up and coming weekend.. We abandoned the area closest to shore.
We cut 3 new trails to the houses running straight north.
Matt his dad were on old minnesota. The fishing started off again horrible. It did pick up saturday as it warmed up. They had to leave early sunday morning so I got the call around 5am the winds saturday eve. had again taken our roads.
With blue thunder I had to make my way over to them, the winds had packed the roads to the point there was no sense even trying to plow. Another new road was in order. After I got them on the road I spent the next 4 hours cleaning up the mess mother nature created. From old minnesta I headed west elimnating the road running north to alaska and montana.
Josh his dad and 2 boys had a grand time fishing montana. They all landed at least one fish with a 22 being the biggest. I know they did eat a couple fish also. Josh said his dad got to catch fish and see him and his boys catch some.
Alaska had the owner of that house. They managed a couple but tough bite for sure.
Florida had Nick and his friends. Saturday morning, they were up to 7 when I checked on them. Sunday they were gone? before I could say goodbye.
North dakota had Pat and his crew they also got a few on the new spot but again the bite was tough at first, picked up saturday then went downhill again.
I also was able to plow a couple spots for wheel houses Rod got 3 saturday.
Another group That were friends of our old helper Richie called. i set them up they got two. saturday they decided to go over to westwind. saturday night around 7 pm when the winds were again howling I get a call. Cookie were stuck in a snowbank can you come give a us a tug, were just off the landing coming back from the bar.
i ask again your right off the landing yep. I’m right in the middle of making dinner. I fire up blue thunder, get over there, They are 1 mile out errr. Then the truck is 4 truck lengths into westwind berm. There is no way I can even get to them. I tried to move some snow but only gained a little bit. The snow they were in was at least 4 feet deep. I backed up as far as I could got out my stap. I was 3 straps to short. Totally disgusted I had no choice but to have them find more help.
Jonny boy is in kellier trying to make some progress on the red truck. Were still waiting on a axle for the red baron We sure need one of our v plow trucks now as the snow has become rock hard form all the high winds.
Today will again be a grind fighting the elements with the teps hoovering a – 20. Were planning on moving california, north dakota and Utah. Jake is here fishing with his boys. They will be helping me today.

jan 6th 2022

3 days seem like a month, mother nature on the mighty red never lets up. What started off as a strong ne wind came a inch of fresh powdered snow followed by a strong north wind followed up by a strong nw wind all in 30 hours. Then to boot we had fisher men hunkered down out there.
Keith Bodee returned to give it another shot with some pals in fish house Alaska. I think they ended up with 8 as the bite was horrible.
Fredrick and his gal Mel did well saturday sunday in florida. Monday we are blaming the high pressure as the bite was tough, brutal. Even the liars got skunked.
Steve and His dad Jerry were in montana, I do not remember how they did I don’t think too well. Steve and his dad were up here 15 years ago. I think they rented from cousin Pete my mentor.
Tom and derrick? were in california sunday monday they did go home with 8.
I made the rounds monday night before the snow started. It was quite depressing as the numbers were ugly 15 fishermen 3 fish, I think. Jonny boy stayed out there and managed to get 5.
Charlie, Mason, Quade and Nolan were a group of younger guys that all work at a prison in Wisconsin. They leave this morning I think they may be up to 8.
Joe and his buddy were in north dakota after the poor bite on monday it did pick up the next 2 days as they were leaving this morning.
Tim and his gal are in florida one more night. There happy and getting a few.
I’m sure i missed something as I just turned 62 yesterday my memory is not as good as it use to be. Uggg.
Today also marks 43 years of marriage. She was 15 we had to wait tell I turned 18. They all said it would never last.
The fleet has turned into 1. Not much of a fleet. Red baron is still waiting on a front axle. The other 454 has a fuel leak. Not like the old stuff where a piece of fuel line, a couple hose clamps your back in business. Sounded like the whole intake manifold has to come off wtf.
Yesterday we did move 2 houses as we dug out and re-opened our road system with the fleet of one. Blue thunder.
I had just walked into the house when Jonny boy called, I’m stuck. I headed out. cut a new road to him, got him tugged out so he could get to shore. I then proceeded to keep making a new road. Not 10 minutes after Jonny boy left, I buried blue thunder into a area with 3 foot drifts. I do not think Jonny boy could of even gotten to me so I broke out the cracked number 2 shovel and proceeded to start digging. After 2 attempt’s I was able to get her out. The new road now has a bend in it.
We then got the call from Buddy Hillman as some snow had to be moved away from the bridge area. As I worked on that it felt like I was plowing a kmart parking lot. Jonny boy took over when I needed gas so I came home for my birthday dinner of soup and grilled cheese.
Time to check the fluids as today we need to move 5 of the 7 houses and say goodbye to our customers. Plus I need a new shovel.

jan 3rd 2022

Hard to remember everything this past week. The fishing has been good for some, great for others and so so for others.
From Christmas to new year’s is and always has been one of the busiest weeks of the year. Our friends Dan and Mel were here for a week. Dan helped Jonny boy and I move houses and deal with small issue. He was a tremendous help. Mel always has some food for us to replenish ourselves as we bust butt out there.
Mother nature had to throw in a few curve balls along the way with 2 dumping of snow, then a nice little cold snap to make things just a little more challenging.
During the second snowstorm we lost a lower radiator hose followed 2 days later with a water pump. Throw in a dead battery on my car during the cold snap. Now the red chev with the v plow has rusted out a fuel line. She is down for the count at this time until our guy can tackle it. We limped it to Barny in Kellier to tackle it asap. If it was a older truck, a couple hose clamp’s, a hack saw, flaring tool couple hose clamps were back in business? Instead, were looking at a much bigger project. Were now down to just blue thunder for a few days.
Its pretty much impossible to report who caught what, which house, when they arrived when they left, what got moved etc so I will try and share a few highlights.
The Bodee family had the two ice castles utah and alsaka ,they had decent fishing.
Pat his buddy with the 5 kids had North dakota and Florida, they started off slow, we got them a new batch of bait and there fishing did turn around. The kids played outside on and off for 3 days, They did take home a dozen fish I believe.
Joe and his dad stayed in old minnesota for 3 nights. They ate fish plus were able to take home 7 or 8 fish plus bring in the new year in old minnesota.

Tim, Amanda and Emma were in florida for 2 nights over new year’s. They figured they caught 35 fish in 2 days. Amanda and Emma also got the personal best sized walleye. North Dakota running on the same generator had Tim and Joy. They landed 2. Jonny boy did try and help them by bringing them some smaller lures and bait. Even though they only got a couple they already are planning for next year.
Roman and Bob did really well in california ,plus left the house in outstanding shape which always makes my cleaning much easier.
Ellein, Dan and the two kids were in alaska. They only had so so fishing. We also had a propane issue the first, morning when the temp hit -35. Once we got a nice warm 30 pounder on her the furnace kicked back in.
Jeffs house also had propane issue, I suggested they dump hot water on the tanks. The trick worked and the pressure came back up.
Utah and Chris and his gal Tosha. They had trouble getting there deisel truck going so Jonny boy scrambled to gather everything to cover it up with the parachute and get some heat under her.
Montana had Ryan Joe and the two boys leo and Jack. They took home some fish plus ate a few. Joe said the two boys can eat some fish. I ask if they use tater sauce? yes ketchup and miracle whip. I think they name it pink stuff.
We also set up a few wheelhouses. As far as I know most did well. with 2 houses each catching a elusive yet still catchable upper red lake crappie.
I’m hoping I can try and blog at least’s every other day. Knock on wood.
Buddy Hillman got the double decker out on the lake. She sleeps 10. He also is finishing up another that has a sauna attached to the outside. He said he always wanted one with a sauna.
The main road goes out about 3 miles. I expect another mile will be made soon. Off road travel is possible but watch out for field’s of broken ice which has gathered quite a bit of snow. I did find a small pocket of slush in one of those areas when I tried to cross country to my houses rather than back track on the road.
She is getting lite out time to check the fluids and fire up blue thunder. happy new year to all

dec 22 2021

I have a little time to write this morning so here goes.
We said goodbye to Shelly and her crew yesterday, they were such a nice family, I think we all made a connection and feel they could become life time friends.
They also left all 3 houses just like they got them which makes them much easier to clean. I did get a very nice text also. she said They felt very lucky to catch so many quality fish. The fishing has been pretty darn good.
Dan and Mel have been having a riot.
Dan helped us move houses yesterday as my back is not doing so well. My original back problems going back to my painting car days including 22 years of working at 4 different golf courses, playing golf as much as I could has finally taken its toll. My plans are to keep giving it 100 percent but also doing some more doctoring.
Mel enjoyed catching some nice fish yesterday while Dan was outside helping us. I think she is hoping he will want to help again today. She got a 24 incher Saturday night. They have some family coming up today so we will be moving montana over buy them.
Old minnesota also will be doing the cookie shuffle as the fishing was also good in that area. Alaska needs to be moved over by Utah as Keith and his family have both of them for a couple days.
We checked in Pat, Scott and there 5 boys yesterday. They are in north dakota and floida so we will see how there doing some time this morning.
I’m herring all kinds of reports about the weather. We have 2 inches of fresh snow on the ground so far. my weather says the winds are going to slowly calm down then changed to the west later this evening? I guess if anyone is coming up today they should check what the other resorts are going to do. Buddy Hillman gave the green lite yesterday for any vehicles and houses. The roads will not be plowed tell the winds and weather cooperate. Everywhere you leave tire tracks collects more snow. EveryWare you plow causes more drifting so the worst thing we can do is plow in the snow and wind. Curve and corners are the worst when it comes to drifting. I’m always trying to figure the drifting out but hardly ever get it right as mother nature is the boss out there. she swirls, switches and just causes fits.
One year I thought I had her all figured out I pulled monatana and florida off the main road away from anything. I would just leave them there tell after the big blow. I get out there and the snow is so packed under the house I had a heck of a time digging then out. Hindsight I should have banked the ends so the snow could not go under them.
Well, its time to check the fluids and fire up the fleet on a” Grand lake that owes us nothing

Dec 26th 2021

Been a busy week here on the shores of upper red lake. Jonny boy and I spent sunday monday getting all the houses on the lake. We had Lonnie Craig, Dave fishing old Minnesota just for the day. They ended up landing 15. I even got one when Lonnie stepped outside. I got my first walleye of the season on his fishing pole. About 9pm tell 11 they had some real good action before they came off the lake.
We also had Steave spend 2 nights monday tuesday in the utah ice castle. He only took home 3 He did also catch some perch. Not sure how many total fish he caught but he was happy with the accommodations.
Jonny boy and I also helped out on Hillmans highway. I think the road goes out about 3 miles now give or take.
We did have a family of 10 check in friday afternoon. Shelly made the reservation, her and her hubby Bob live in montana so they flew into bemidji. Shelly’s mom Jana came from hayward Wi. where she owns a resort. Rob and Kathy were also staying in old minnesota with her. Kathy was a foster child Jana raised. Jason his wife Lauri and daughter were in montana fish house Jason is a cousin his wife stayed up all night friday fishing.. Montana had the best fishing, old minnsota had the biggest while north dakota had the slowest. I can tell you they seem to be having a grand time on a grand lake. Rob, Kathy, Jana winter in Texas so they had brought up a pile of fresh shrimp.
After a christmas dinner of turkey and all the fixins.. I went out to visit for a bit. They were just finishing their dinner of fresh walleye and shrimp. There all staying tell dark tonight then heading home. Another great group of people I so glad they got to catch some fish.
Sheel chick and Sandy were fishing in florida. Sandy got a nice chunky 22 incher friday. They got there 8 for the trip home and were catching and releasing yesterday.
Jonny boy fished the ice castle last night and they got 7.
Mel and Dan rolled in with their fish house. Dan was putting the smack down on them friday during the day with a pink jig with rubber legs. The magic lure.
Today The season kicks into high gear for all the outfits up here. Of course, mother nature is going to throw in her 25 cents. With snow and winds if you’re coming up prepare for the worst. We have all the houses full for the next week with turn overs every day. Our goal has always been to have the houses on fresh spots. If it’s a fishy area sometimes the move may not be too far, but the holes are fresh.
There is a bridge out of Hillmans. We have an active pressure ridge out about 1/4 mile. I have moved the bridge 3 time all ready. I’m not too thrilled about the potential snow so again I will be doing a less snow snow dance a few times today.
Were still waiting on some parts for the red baron. We did have front axle, but it was not the rite one. We do have the v plow on the red 3/4 ton so that’s good. I even had the hindsight to fix the broken window so at least it will stay up this winter. I also have a straight blade that Jonny boy and Dan are going to get out of the woods for me. I be leave it is heavy duty as I have never had it on the trucks. It is a manual plow. You have to angle it by hand then lock it in Left, right, or straight.
I did blow a radiator hose on blue thunder Wednesday we were able to track down a used one for now. Today we need to move north dakota, florida, Utah, california.
Well, it’s time to get to work on this grand lake that owes up nothing
