| Today was a decent screw off type of day. I woke up about 8, I but I didn't actually get up and do anything till 11 or so. I was really bored when Brent called, he invited me to go fishing with him, so I told him I'd go. I got some stuff ready, grabbed my camera and headed out to my Bronco where all of my ice fishing stuff resides. I got it started, let it warm up, and then went down to put some air in the tires. Tires lose a little pressure up here over time because of the constant cold temperatures. Anyway, I met up with Brent, Little John, and thier kids around 2, maybe 2:30 up at the lake. Yes Matthew... I finally whipped some shitties out on the ice. I was following Brent, and he suddenly went off the plowed road and whipped a 360... I followed suit, except I did 2. It was quite fun, but I had my window down and I sprayed snow all over my face; which kind of sucked royal ass. Well, moving on... we fished till 4:30. I left before they did actually because I don't like driving the Bronco in the dark when it can be avoided. We wound up catching a total of 32 crappies and 1 northern. I caught 9 of the crappies, but the little kids caught all of the biggest ones. After that I went to Brent's house for a little bit as he and Little John cleaned the fish. After that I came home and ate. Oh yeah, mom called and we talked for a few minutes... seems my grandma bought a new car today. She got a 99 Buick LeSabre, red I guess. I'm talking to Suzanne as I make this page. That's about all I can remember from today. |

| The lake was pretty busy today... if you look you can see the majority of the houses that were out... I counted about 50, give or take 5. |
