Since this winter has been one of our busiest with projects on the go, plus we all know how darn miserable the weather has been since early December! I hadn't washed a hook since open water, so i took the weekend off to fish out of our shacks on the lake. Went with friends yesterday and with kids today, caught fish and ate well, had a blast!

The weather was beutiful, barely a wind, -20C (that's about -6F for our southern freinds) and we laughed at ourselves standing outside in our T-shirts smiling into the sun exclaiming how nice of a day it is! YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN A COLD ASS WINTER WHEN -20 FEELS WARM!!!!!!

This winter has caused greif for many people, businesses, schools etc. if it isn't a snowstorm, it's one thousand below zero and almost everday has been windy, somedays wickedly windy! I think the earth "broke an axle" and is spinning on a different axis, causing a disturbance to our "usual" weather patterns. Must be global warming, hahahah ya right.

Oh well, in a few months we'll be complaining about the heat, mosquitoes, rain etc. Whatever we get, we'll find ways of dealing with it just like we always do. 

Had a great time fishing, kids caught loads of walleye, big pike and even caught a fishing rod that was pulled down a hole yesterday by a pike! Yes pulled up a pike with freinds rod and hook, the whole works. Can't believe the fish was still hanging around the area since yesterday, and it even bit my hook the greedy bugger.
