Raf Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 must have felt good to get that buttoned up before the snow flies as a unknowing observer my next priority would be that wood stove LOL
Walleye72 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Posted October 5, 2015 Warm Spells ?? Like when it warms up to minus twenty for a few glorious days. LOL
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 Warm Spells ?? Like when it warms up to minus twenty for a few glorious days. LOL Exactly!!! -20 with no wind will have me sitting on my sled ice fishing in a hoodie!!!
DRIFTER_016 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Posted October 7, 2015 Took the day off work today. Got the dock pulled for the winter today. I also started disassembling the shabby shack and cleaned up the site. Moved all of the lumber needed inside to it's location and other lumber is stored under the cabin. Moved all of the skids out of the way as well. I even managed 2 hours of fishing. Poked over a dozen poikes in that time. A couple of good ones in the 15# range as well as a couple of monsters lost. I know at least one was in the 20+ range.
Steve Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 ya, that last one is just a baby :) monster pike and monster lakers....i bet ice out is a blast.... trolling in 5' of water and catching huge lakers and pike.....to dream, to dream
mr blizzard Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 I see u left a chair there for me so I can get out of the wind after a few good hours of ice fishing lol Stellar day yesterday and today, if Peg had been up to it would have had the boat out before weekend snow comes, Not a bad job for a rookie
mr blizzard Posted October 7, 2015 Report Posted October 7, 2015 Dave I will be able to help a lot more next year with the interior or exterior as the ribs are much better Amazing accomplishment for u this summer, enjoy a well deserved rest tonight watching the habs beat the leafs :tease:
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Posted January 11, 2016 Made it out to the cabin for the first time in 2016 and first time since October. Seems the place is still standing and isn't full of snow so that's good. Broke trail up the hill, but it's super sugary snow and I'll have to wet and pack down the trail after the road opens. No way I'll be able to haul anything up the hill without a good hard base. Really easy to spin right down to dirt and rocks now. Here's a few shots from today's trip.
kickingfrog Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Seems the place is still standing and isn't full of snow Or had a bear inside..... or a squatter.

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Posted January 11, 2016 Or a honey badger, cause they're just craaazy! Honey badgers are OK. They keep the king cobra population in check.
LostAnotherOne Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 I had an interview a month ago and one of the questions they asked me at the end was "What animal would I want to be". Super stupid question, but I said the Honey Badger. Got the job haha. They will walk right into a lion pride and take what ever they want. They don't always survive, but they got balls.
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Posted March 3, 2016 Got my lumber delivery today. Much smaller than last years shipment. This is for the South deck and the roof over it. Have also ordered my windows and they will be in before the ice driving season is over.
Dara Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Can you get your truck right to the cabin...that looks like a lot of loading and unloading if not
akaShag Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Dave, you have more energy than a nuclear reactor!!!!
Steelheadphycho Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Dave, you have more energy than a nuclear reactor!!!! No doubt about that!!!
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Posted March 3, 2016 Can you get your truck right to the cabin...that looks like a lot of loading and unloading if not Almost. An ice road runs past the front of my place. It's about 1/2 km or so to the cabin from there. I took this picture from the shore. You can see my truck off in the distance. Later in the season I can get out there but not until the snow melts down a ways. The snow's too deep at this time of the year though. Can't get there until late April. Just because it's a Honda doesn't mean it won't go places.
Old Ironmaker Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Lets get to work. I need to live vicariously watching you get er done. It may have been asked and answered but I'll ask regardless. Do you carry a weapon(s) for protection from Cobras and the such, if so what do you carry? I know you guys west are able to do so in different areas whereas here east no way, even in Toronto we can't, well some of us anyway.
Dara Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Make sure you save something for me to do there this summer...the wife says I gotta stay for 2 weeks and I don't want to get bored sitting around
