Where are you?  Lets get on with it, the sleds cover up and the boat still! ☹️

It's really not looking like spring in the northlands. I don't think that the lake ice has even been exposed to the sun yet due to consistent snow cover. When I last augered through the ice two weeks ago, the ice was a few inches short of 3ft in Black Bay. It will be a while before ice out. Below is the 10 day forecast.

crazy...........when we where up at the cabin last, last weekend in march, the only lake we could reasonably get on had 6 inches of slush ice and 12-14 inches of good clear ice. this is over by bowstring/jessie lake north of deer river. 

 

i've been watching webcams on sioux narrows and geigers on bowstring, there is some open water along shorelines and where there is current!!!!

Neighbor was out fishing. He said about 8" of soft ice on top and up to 24" of solid ice under. I went out for a final ride today. We have a long ways to go before open water.

Wasn't going to post this, but leech needs a laugh🙂. On the way off the lake the rhubarb got a hold of me, shoveled for over a 1/2 hour, called my neighbor to help give me a yank(thanks Bob).  Just when he got to me, I was able to drive out...great way to end the season!!!🙂🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Ya, it sucked for sure. Luckily, I was close to my neighbors boathouse and grabbed a shovel. This was my first test since my heart attack last September. It was a little scary shoveling the heavy wet snow and trying to lift the sled, but I took it slow and tried not to over do it.

Heart attacks are just a reminder to eat your vegetables and go for a walk once in a while like your mom told you too! 😄 Had a little one about 11 years ago. They threw in a few springs, told me to eat better and get your fat ars outside more! Since then I've dug out a few sleds and pulled a bunch of deer out of the woods! 👍
