WELCOME BRIAN!!!

Today's post is to Welcome Brian Greeson to our blog. Many of you don't know who Brian is, and those of you who do know him really don't care whether or not Brian reads it. But I wanted to thank him for taking time out of his day. Brian requested a segment on Ice Fishing. Well, if I were to go out onto the sea ice and drill a hole for ice fishing I would likely be escorted off of the continent on the first flight. (Oct. 3) So, I will show you where I was on the ice this morning and most of the afternoon.





Right here the ice is about 6 feet thick. It is on the road to the Ice Runway. I was out there installing two Detroit Diesel generators in a hut somewhat like the ones you see in the photo. So as you can imagine it would take a fair amount of time to drill that distance through the ice. But I bet there are fish down there. And I am sure that the beakers (scientist) will be out there drilling holes once main body gets here to go diving. But I doubt they bring any catch up to the Galley for dinner. But there was beer battered fish for dinner the other night.

Well Brian, I hope you enjoyed your post. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as you should. I know Jamie will because I included a photo of snowmobiles.

Tomorrow we will return to our regularly scheduled blog.

Thanks for listening.
R.J.

Thank you for the welcome. So, if I understand you correctly you could fish until October 3rd? I’m thinking you could use one of those BIG Detroit’s to power the auger and you would be fishin in no time! At least you get a taste of WNY food with the beer battered fish fry. Good to see you are enjoying yourselves. Take care, Brian

Paula and RJ-
Your cousin, Tanner, wants to know what the food is like down there. We heard about the candy request from Sue. Anything you would like to have sent from the rest of us? I CAN take out a loan for the postage!

Beautiful end of summer/beginning of fall weather here.

Deuce is growing like a weed. We'll send pictures in our package.

Keep on blogging-we all love to read what you have been up to.
Love,
Aunt P

Awesome pictures! Can't speak too much for the whole ice-fishing thing. You know me, the only place I know fish comes from is the freezer!!!!

Enjoying reading about your adventures. Keep the blog going......
