Correct, I'm on a 96 hr shift now, obviously I can sleep if there's no patients but it's not guaranteed. 

Wash those hands folks! Plenty of covid, influenza and norovirus going around. I'm not afraid of any of those viruses currently but who wants to get sick?

@smurfy those deer river workers are union workers, Im a scab working further north. We gave our nurses like a 16%-19% raise this year. They're not union, they're kind, they're good and we appreciate them and take care of them, they've never felt the need to unionize

Not much snow on the lakes and cold Temps, was on big water tonight and got 5 walleye, 16 inches of ice, drove the little Honda truck all over the lake

Aside from a few cracks, Winnie appears to be drivable all over.  I measured 18.5 on the east side today.  I actually drove to the crack going from Tamarack point to the north shore and can confirm it goes all the way to the point.  19 inches a foot from the foot wide crack; 1 inch in the crack.

 

I see all these vehicles that have dropped in the cracks and am baffled how they can’t see them or attempt to drive over them.  The only other explanation is they’re driving too fast and can’t stop on the bare ice when they finally do see them?

You can go from highbanks now to raven point if you wanted. No cracks there yesterday

Yep.  Planning on being out there this weekend and trying one of last year’s spots that is miles out.  If that don’t pop, there’s the whole dang lake to try and find a new one.

Just finished fresh fish dinner.  Did some in beer batter this time but after dredging in the batter, I rolled in 60/40 mix of seasoned panko and grated parm.

 

O m g ……. Yes…..

 

Kona Big Wave was the beer of choice BTW.

Oh man, sorry.  It all happed so fast I didn’t even think of it till it was too late…

 

I’m contemplating my selfishness over a bowl of Quaker Oats Maple and Brown sugar (made with milk), fresh ground Caribou coffee with half and half, and Second Harvest wheat toast with Gunflint Trail WILD Blueberry jam.

 

 

I will try to not talk about food again without photo backup.

wanderer......when you were on winnie you said no snow on the ice correct??? looks like towards the end of next week the weather looks respectable, but with no snow on the ice traction could be dangerous......especially mid week with noone around. liek to get up there but.........

 

i have cleats but dont think thats an option, especially alone.
