Forest Fire in Canada

While in Canada fishing on Lake of the Woods earlier this month we saw a plane putting out a forest fire.

In Memory of George Cox

This morning the suffering ended for Dave's uncle George.  May he rest in peace.

Fishing on Lake of the Woods

Last Thursday we headed up to the Lake of the Woods in Canada, where we stayed with Ralph and Ellen Vonasek on their island.  They are fantastic hosts.  Ralph always put us on the fish. 

Bill shows off a smallmouth bass he hooked.

Makita brought in a five pound walleye.

Ralph caught and released a 14 pound Northern.

We brought in our limit of walleyes....

Ralph cleaned them up.....

And we had a heck of a fish fry.

Storm Passes Through

I think it was around 1am this morning that the storm rolled through.  The winds were incredible.  Knocked over a bunch of trees.  Gotta get out the Stihl.

Flag Pole's In

The new flag pole finally got installed this past weekend.  It's 25 feet high, telescoping and awesome!
