Ice Fishing?

A tradition here in Wisconsin is- ICE FISHING. Whether you choose to weather the frigid cold like the Eskimos, or you have a more primitive approach (see heated ice shanty), this is the weekend to break out those ice augers and drill some holes. It is STURGEON SEASON BABY!!!

This winter has been relatively "warm" (I use that term loosely). Many fisherman have been concerned about the quality of the ice and the potential for a true sturgeon spearing season. But not my husband. He is willing and ready. Despite the drop in temps and wind chills, he is out there getting ready. Right now.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this type of "sport" see below.

or how about here...

Now, today, we woke up to a complete white out outside. Here is a view from my car as I drove the kids to school, and then to the gym. I'm surprised schools weren't closed. I could barely see. And it is only getting worse out there. Take a look.



In fact, Garth just called me to assure me that he would safe "out there." Also, reminding me to travel safe and take my time when picking the kids up from school. Quote-
"Be careful. It is white out here."

Nice. Perfect. Thank God for life insurance.

Oh and. Don't forget. We live in Wisconsin. Which means, no "sporting" event is complete without (a lot of) drinking. Perfect. Thank God for life insurance.

Stay safe fisherman, and women!
