did I say the whole lake was safe I thought I said everywhere I went and the middle is safe and where the kids were playing hockey if I said the whole lake was safe that is wrong over by the river could be dicey but I was talking in response to what the fireboys said, one hole and they knew what was what and every day things change.......so what I say today has no relevance for the next day/week and if you are stupid enough to think because it was safe one day that you can just walk out there, then my advise is take up knitting, icefishing isn't your thing and tell you where we were not a chance, until the news report we did not tell anyone what lake we were on

you don't chip one one and tell people it is not safe, they have no idea what they are talking about they say it because they can not because they know what they are talking about they are morons Brian and I chipped 50 holes and augered another 50, we earned the right to say we knew the ice that day they chipped one hole, they are lairs, story tellers scare mongers

it really was a sad, despicable propaganda crap those firefighters were spouting kids were playing hockey 20 ft off shore on solid 5" black ice and those stupid, self important firefighters were standing there insulting the parents... I use to respect them but it was a lie on top of a lie to make the news, Sandy Stevens with the fire department. is a moron

it's a no win Brian everyone likes danger warnings but just in case people don't know it would be silly to walk run or skate in 1.5" of ice

so then you just like to state the obvious here's one don't drink antifreeze don't fart into the wind

yeah but the old guy was stating there was only 1.5 " of ice and with the heater going in the hut the guys had to be nuts the guy only made up the 1.5 he had no facts I don't know anyone who would set up a hut and turn a heater on with 1.5" of ice, we were pissed that they even said 1.5" when it had no bearing on the news report then people here follow suit and discuss walking on 1.5 " of ice

no one walked on 1.5 " of ice, it was 5 inches of ice it was 5 inches of ice

there was 5" of ice not 1.5, a local guy the news talked to who does not fish and does not go on the ice made the statement about 1.5 with no facts he just threw the number out there it was 5 inches of ice it was 5 inches of ice

it was 5 inches of ice yeah they made themselves look like morons this is dangerous they say they say the safety charts say 4" to walk on then they check the ice and it's 5 ", well they say that doesn't make it safe..what are the parents thinking letting their kids on thin ice and who knows how thick it is in the middle well we know we chipped 50 hole checking it was 5 inches of ice it was 5 inches of ice it was 5 inches of ice

Some nice fish

Nice fish there

nice fish

no I don't

yeah I thought the same

there's your problem I did not try to sit on his knee and I have been asking the same thing for many years this may be the one

I asked Santa for a new house, closer to the lake and mortgage free he said he would see what he could do

Just real great news there

yup got cataracts at 35

brain fart......................jan 6 lol

it's called getting older

I off at 2:30 on the 13th and don't go back till jan 6. So bring on the ice

yeah, you want them to match, as if you are looking at both sides of the flag

and if unsure of the ice conditions follow a fat man not too close

just the words "bush wack" makes me nerves

they don't stand a chance if they are sitting still if they jump out or take flight I get startled and miss
