nickyboy6100 166 Posted February 27 Man, the weather is finally starting to warm up around here. Winter hasn’t been too bad just a lot of rain and grey days. February is very depressing in the Midwest. Looking forward to longer days and warmer temps. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure, computer generated, virtual, or robotic, they said using a live groundhog will soon be over. Imagine when someone first thought up this tradition....we want you to reach into this tree and grab that groundhog 😬 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am ready for Spring, and I plan to spend as much time as possible on my boat. Although we have WIFI at the marina, I do not take a computer to the marina, and there is no cable TV. It is just like it was 25 years ago, so it is kind of a respite from the modern world. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds wonderful. I visit one of my brothers at his lake house in Tennessee, Dale Hallow Lake. I like the idea of having absolutely no cell service, are all lakes like that? 😄 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That has become almost a necessity these days, but at least we can get away from a computer screen and cable news for a while. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wuzzzer 1988 Posted February 27 Bigtime. Here in Minnesota winters are way too long. I can't wait for the lakes to thaw so I can get my boat out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take that you prefer to put your boat in the water as opposed to going out ON the water... even for having lived in IN.... ice fishing is the epitome of cabin fever.... Even if the ice is biting 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1291 1178 Posted February 27 Mid 50's around here this weekend and rain coming thru so it's about over here. Next stage a re-freeze, maybe more snow at some point then we're done til next winter. Winter's aren't what they used to be 15 years ago. Beginning to think I wasted $1100 on that big 2X Cub Cadet snow blower I bought when I quit plowing w/my buddies big Suburban. That thing didn't break a sweat movin that 10" we had. Will be nice when it warms up so I can sit out back w/the system cranked pi$$ing off the neighbors. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if the ice is biting I have most of the equipment for ice fishing but rarely go. I'd much rather be on the lake wearing shorts and floating in my boat. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickyboy6100 166 Posted February 27 I used to not mind winter. I worked out in it until a couple years ago. Now I work in a heated facility. I guess I’m getting soft. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
