Actually, his mother took him. She texted me the pic. I normally buy him a lure when I take him.

I’ve been hearing about getting the snowmobile out for a few days now, ever since it started to snow. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore, pulled the sled out of the barn this afternoon, started it up and said “go”!

As you can see by the second pic, he went?

Don’t you call them snow machines up there, or is that a Western Canada/Alaska thing?

Actually most people just call them sleds, but I’ve heard them called several things ( including rotten piece of ….) ?

Henry, the cat I didn’t want who has somehow became my buddy, decided to take residence under the Christmas tree last night. 
 

 

This is what Thanksgiving morning looks like in our neck of the bayous, Lake Chicot, La., to be specific.

Snow on the ground at my son’s in Walker Michigan…

First time seeing snow in 10 years for me…

Where-as I've never spent a winter out of the snow-belt. Only Yule times I wasn't in snow was the couple I spent with the mother-in-law, once in Boca Raton, once in Winter Park (Orlando suburb)

And it probably seemed like a foreign country to you, because it’s usually warm around Christmas there…

About 70% of it has melted since Saturday. At least you got to see it. Perfect for making snowballs!

Ain’t it nice??? I love snow, but then again ours is rarely deeper than 6 inches. That whole 3 feet of snow kind of thing would probably change my opinion 

Dinner has been done since two, watched the Bills win, went out hunting, and now that I’m back home it’s time for my favorite time with the turkey…..making turkey salad! I make it every year, let it sit overnight, then eat leftovers and turkey salad sandwiches tomorrow while watching the high school football state championship games on TV.

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!
 

The last hoorah! Drove around for an hour looking for open water. Been in the 50's all week but all my crappie spots still had ice. Drown minnows and worms for a couple hours with out even a nibble.

Picked our first bowl of winter salad greens from the new greenhouse today. Several of the different lettuces are a bit slower growing, so in about 3 more weeks we’ll be able to fill this bowl with fresh greenery pretty much every single day throughout the winter.

Pretty great he’s out there in impossible conditions, that’s how you learn

Teaching him it’s called fishing and not catching! That’s what it’s all about.
