I have nothing to add. Read it all. It’s wise counsel.
Unfortunately for me, ice out hasn’t happened. It’s too sketchy to ice fish and too frozen for real fishing. I pace about the house and fiddle with my camping gear. I have needs to do a walkabout. Indeed, the current freak out has derailed a carefully scheduled and eagerly anticipated “adventure”; which was to happen in a warmer clime. Bummer!
I have my tent and some other gear roughly stationed for a quick getaway. I will be gone like a flash when conditions are right. This has nothing to do with disease and everything to do with living well.
