    I'm currently sitting next to Houghton Lake. 45 & ice as far as I can see...  So close, yet so far away. Ugh. I need a beer.

While there's no wind in tomorrow's forecast - there's no sun either and some lingering rain.

I Hate a wet boat but after waiting this long I may bite the bullet  . . 

I've got a work out to do (early) Then I'll probably play it by ear - 

Either way - I'll be ready to go and will continue to go every time the opportunity presents it self.

Just checked, there is a sheet of free ice (or slush hard to tell) that's covering about 40% of the lake I want to get on.

Moves around with the wind -  yesterday it was up on the north end (a no factor).

Right now it's parked in front of the ramp and over a couple of 'the spots'. (The right kind of point)

I'm gonna knock out a back workout  right now and check it again once I'm done.

Tomorrow is cold, wind & rain - Saturday looks like a good day though.
