Happy Birthday SILy Janet.







We woke up to ice all the way across the lake this morning.


Luv the shadows that come with sun rise and sun set.






This is a mess that a hairy woodpecker made on the trail to the bypass.



You wouldn't think that a little guy like that could make such a big mess.

Update time.

Dec 1

Fog in the am. 


Warmer temps = slush.


Dec 4

We woke up to some ice on the lake.



It's almost time to move the boat to dry dock.


A early morning sun dog.



Flurries later on made things look a little more serious.

Dec 6

Ideally we would have taken the boat out yesterday. But due to unforeseen circumstances Grasshopper had to go to town today.


There was ice pretty much all the way to Bedrock.


The ice was less than 1/2 an inch.


There were some "rivers" of water thru the ice. But there were sections that we just had to bust thru.


An eagle over Fennell's bay.


Frozen right thru the narrows.



Just after I got back to the dock,


fog came from the round end,


and then you couldn't see a thing.


After picking Grasshopper up at Bedrock around 3 pm, we decided to take the boat out. The forecast was calling for wet snow over night and temperatures dropping later in the week. 
 
The 150 is connected to the Arctic Cat.

The Polaris is connected to the boat trailer.



The boat is on the trailer.



We actually had some troubles getting the boat and trailer up the ramp. By the time we finished, it was dark.


Wednesday we wrapped the boat.


And took out the dock. You will notice that the ice is gone. 


This morning the ice is back.



2 more markers in the lake. These mark the dock anchor chains that I made this year.


Mother Nature is working on the on ramp for the  Don Fraser bypass.

Razor came for a visit on his sled.

The tree line is ready to go.
