Morning all.

Hope all are well.

We're in a weather reprieve here and temps might hit 40 for a couple days, then back to single digits.

Hoping to get the icehouse out on a lake Saturday, temps are predicted to be around 2 degree's, will get a chance to see how it goes and maybe catch a few fish.

Suppose to get 5-8" of sand thursday, I could live with out it, but it usually warms up a bit..uh huh, least that's what they say.

Just printed out the 62 page instruction manual on how to program our exercise bike, probably need a nap after that.

Be well, be safe.

Ice house will travel, we need to pick a lake and date.

We can get some standard ice fishing fare, brats, hot dogs, B&M beans, sauerkraut and rice krispy bars.

Maybe even some bait.

Nice job as in bringing in a bulldozer and leveling it all?

Howdy, Russ. I do believe the weather will permit kubbing tomorrow. I do not do cabin fever well.

I'm not noticing the cabin fever so much today, lower back pain is pretty much getting all my attention. Don't know what I did to myself, started yesturday. Usually doesn't last more than 2-4 days, hope this is a quick one. Hard to get out of a chair. I've had back pain episodes for more than 30 years, the young me was pretty abusive to his body, old me pays the bill.
