living in the middle of nowhere isn't so bad

hooray for ice fishing!

16 inches of lake ice
3 degrees above freezing
0 clouds
1 near sun tan
3 bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) latin for "white headed sea eagle" (really)
4 rainbow trout (oncorynchus mykiss) "latin for "kiss my cancerous nose" (not really)
7 perch that had to be returned because they are out of season
1 hand auger (possibly the most fun and amazing tool in the history of man. think of the giant snow cone possibilities from the shavings.)
7 fishing rods that are so short they are almost comical.
2 thermoses of hot chocolate with mint tea steeped in it

thanks jonothan

Hot chocolate and mint tea -- what a concept. Thanks for introducing the idea to me! I want to hear about your experiences with perch in season, when it is 10 degrees above freezing and there are only 2 inches of lake ice remaining.
