Picked up the 2"x3"x10' tube steel on Wednesday, things came up and I couldn't work until today, but all the holes I need are now drilled and the tube sanded/cleaned of rust. Tuesday it's suppose to be warm and sunny, so I'll paint it then. Original tongue piece is the white one. I've also gotten a good start on the rod-rack. A piece of MDF has been cut to fit between the rear seat and the carry handle. Three holes drilled through the MDF and the canoe side for mounting - the only new holes I'll be drilling in the canoe. 12" lengths of 1-1/2" PVC have been cut, cleaned up and holes drilled in them to mount to the MDF. The MDF panel will also be painted on Tuesday...hopefully.

Rule one in a household where the women outnumber the men...just say 'Yes, dear/sweetie' and let it go. What a cutie.

Which is not alcohol - it's another byproduct of oil refining. Gas, Diesel, Kerosene, Asphalt ...they're all from oil.

Dude, you're living here.

Well, painting the new trailer tongue CAN wait...that's the only thing I need a warm, sunny day for.
-
I only got two major things left for the canoe. Rod rack and the trailer mod. Some minor things, but those two will be enough to get out with. If the weather cooperates, maybe by next weekend.

Got that straight. "As it stands right now the latest recorded measurable snow in Minnesota remains at 1.5 inches at Mizpah in Koochiching County on June 4, 1935 and the earliest documented snow in Minnesota is a trace that fell at the Duluth Airport on August 31, 1949." So July IS the only snow-free month in Minne-snow-ta.

Just came back and the larger bays are still mostly ice-socked - Spring Park, Lafayette, Smiths and Browns are 75%-80% covered. However, if you want to wet a line, Black Lake is ice-free...though you'll have to stand in a few inches of heavy, wet snow to cast. Maybe some early season sunnies and crappies?
-
80 I'll take - you can keep the humidity though.
-
It's when we have the 100o+ heat index days that I want fall...we had far too many of those last year.
-
Then of course, this happens... This spring doesn't know what it wants to do.
-
Most people get a regular 4'x8' trailer from places like Harbor Freight and use that with a few mods.
-
You too, huh. Trees dropped the leaves, then we got snow too soon after that for me to clean up the yard. So lots of leaves have been 'fermenting' under the snow all winter.
-
I know - heard good things about this line but was a bit expensive for me. Entered and will keep entering (once a day). Maybe a little luck will come my way.

Dunno - never used one since they're illegal in MN.

A little Google search...and you are correct. Umbrella/Alabama rigs are legal in PA. https://www.pabulletin.com/secure/data/vol44/44-12/583.html

From a blurb last year about the Classic Bass Champions Tour. "This will be the first time the Champions Tour has visited “Tonka”. It’s no secret that the lake is one of the best bass fisheries in the Midwest. The lake is loaded with bass of all sizes and the structure that these fish live on is seemingly endless." Full article: https://classicbass.com/blog/last-stop-lake-minnetonka/ This is the lake I live by - I'm on an Island...no matter which way I go, I'll hit part of Minnetonka.

Nice to know someplace in the Metro is open.Smaller bodies of the Minnetonka chain like Black Lake and Tanager Lake are about 50% clear. The larger bays such as Spring Park, Lafayette, Smiths and Browns (the ones I passed today on an errand) are still about 90% ice-covered.

Yesterday my back yard was clear of snow - this is what it's like now...with another 6"-10" predicted On the ice status? Smaller bodies of the Minnetonka chain like Black Lake and Tanager Lake are about 50% clear. The larger bays such as Spring Park, Lafayette, Smiths and Browns (the ones I passed today on an errand) are still about 90% ice-covered.
