Well I got a new shanty (my first one cause I'm tired of sitting in the wind) and just ordered a strikemaster honda lite auger last night. I hope we get a long hardwater season to get to use the stuff more than a couple times like the last couple years have been. Looking at the forecast for the Pymy area it shouldn't be long before we get out on some good ice! Anybody else itching at the bit and can't wait for freeze up?
