How thick is that ice, and hot is that stove......... Cooked out many times when I was a deer hunter, sleeping in a tent with a sleeping bag in 20 degree weather just dont get it anymore. Looks like you have it down to fun though.

Danny in that particular area last March we had about 40 inch of ice, as for the whether it was very mild, it's a way of life for us and we enjoy it very much...cag

40" of ice in March, lets see............not for this boy, but I am sure you guys enjoy it. The difference being, you see ice as recreation, I see it as trapped. I noticed an ice drill (I guess that is what you call it) in the photo of the stove. Do you really drill a hole and drop a line in the water like we have seen on the tube so many times. I know you have to have a hole, but I was thinking bigger than that drill looks.

If'n that's out Ice fishing you should get a heated hut and enjoy all the comfoets of home. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Never ever again will I stand outside slowly turning into a block of ice while supposedly jigging a line and calling it fishing.

My Father seemed to enjoy it a lot and there were too many days of frozen body parts for me to ever call it enjoyable. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Looks to me like a great fish but at my age the only ice I want to see is in my mixed drink.

"last March we had about 40 inch of ice, as for the whether it was very mild"

So by very mild do you mean 20 F below, more? Mild enough to hang out on an ice cube I guess.

With that much ice I can imagine a heated hut being very handy. If that little drill is the hole size then how did you pull that big ol' fish through it?

 

[cag]

OK I know some of you guy's don't like the cold /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I work and play in it, good boots, good coat, good gloves, and your all set... the ice drill makes 9 inch holes, the largest allowed by law for my area, and I never caught a fish that didn't fit true it /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gifand yes you do have all the ice in the world for your drinks /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif as for the fishing hut, ok you got me, it's out in the open, I confessed, I'm simply to lazy to drag it out there /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif..cag

"fit true it " Cool, more canadian accent tricks. Oot and aboot in a boot.

Counldn't have a winter picture without the arrival of Santa Claus, right? We met Santa at the Hesston Steam Museum in Hesston, IN and had a nice train ride to boot /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

So Joe is it that obvious that I'm french /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif...cag

 

[Highbeam]

I can't tell the difference between french canadians and canadian canadians. I just know that once you drive over that dotted line to the north, they start saying some funny things. And they/you use those funny gold quarters, looneys. I worked as a wrangler at an outfitter company in the cascades with some canadians 15 years ago and still haven't been able to shake a couple of their accents. Especially aboot/about.

Those pictures are really nice, That must be a nice camera and you have read the instructions on how to use it, not at all like the average male... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

We got our first snow of the year tonight!

 

[RobS]

Great pic Nasty, did you use flash to light up the snowflakes or was there some light behind you? Nice looking barn. I took the boys to a light display not far from us last night but it was disappointing. I took a couple of pics, nothing noteworthy /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

<font color="blue">you have read the instructions on how to use it, not at all like the average male </font>

I have no less than three seperate books on this camera so far and I'm not even into the software side of the fun yet! It's truly amazing the technology packed in, especially compared to my old film slr /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Nasty135]

Rob, I turned on the 500watt halogen mounted on the back of the house and used the flash for the picture... Also hung mama's little "star light star bright" off of the beam hoist to the right. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here is a pic from the other night, My new Bocat S-250 two speed, cab heat and AC

 

[Nasty135]

Now thats a mouth full!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Heat too thats a plus...

 

[RobS]

That's some pretty serious snow removal equipment. Is that for your personal use or do you plow commercially?

Nice pic /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Here's a few from last winter that my then 12-year old son took:

Reflections on Snowmelt

Snowblowing with Cab

And from the winter before:
Snowblowing Before Cab

Each of those are in sets, so there's more of each set if you're interested. I didn't get any pictures of dealing with this weekend's 15-incher...

 

[dynamike]

Yes I plow commercially but I still enjoy it /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I take care of a Lowes Store with this machine. It's wicked fast at moving snow!
