[drspeckler]

if I have to dig out the lawnmower in January.wtf.no ice,rivers blown out big time.ive already see some kind of bugs flying around its about to make me start drinking again after 9 years.my ol favorite jim beam and coke,old crow with coke,admiral nelson with coke or jack daniels.lol.didnt get my spear out,went ice fishing 4 times,barely started or drilled with my new jiffy pro 4 lite I got last year,snowmobile taking up too much room for the amount of ride time..ive got about 500 jigs to put down steelhead throat and cant because the river is just to high and the transom is getting pretty rotted on my old sea skank boat.thinking of really selling my ice gear and fish the river all year.ok I feel a little better no drinks for me today..lol had to vent my ol lady don't like hearing me gripe and sends me out to the moldy garage.hahaha.oh yeah and my tarp building decided to rip its roof off with the wind.grrrr.

Ohhh.....And now here comes the complaining!!! But it's only January Speckler!!! Lol. Well let me add to it. We tried to setup on geese today in front of house at river mouth. Sat from 8:00 until 12:30 with only 5 overtop and came in silent, then landing out of range ahead of decoys. Ice is still 6" or so but mush. Could have fished today but don't really care to in fog and 50°. Trying to find something to do Tuesday. The Huron is high as hell. Normally flowing in Ann Arbor gage at 330 or so CFS. Been stuck at 1,100 for last few days and based on river height around Dexter and streams around here, gonna be a while before the lower begins dropping. At least it is holding steady. I'll probably fish it anyhow Tuesday because I have nothing better to do. Arrghhhh. And I've drank today and still complaining.

Mod, please move this post to the Rants section. I don't want it to interfere with all the other posting currently in this topic
Thanks.

You guys need other hobbies. I spent the weekend working on my house, fixing up one of the kids' old bedrooms with a fresh coat of paint and such. If the ice was great I'd be the one whining about not getting out.

Cool, that's the first time I've ever moved a thread to a different section. They didn't cover that in administrator training lol. I feel positively giddy with power.

[Swampbuckster]

Hey I did help the wife for a good chunk of yesterday moving all the furniture and mopping all the floors in the house!

[drspeckler]

that's what I was pissy about doing yard work and things i shouldn't have to do yet because there covered in ice and 2 ft of snow.i see a fackin dandelion popping up!hahaha.yes I have no other hobbies but fishing,building abu Garcia reel and penns,collecting fishing stuff.

[drspeckler]

well I'm pissy yet again,been having a weird rotten garbage smell in the house this week.i glanced over and looked at the freezer and the light was out.i opened it and puked all over because all my sucker cutbait,salmon eggs and food were bloated and rotten..i had my bait in 2 different freezers in case this ever happened and my ol lady decided to put it all in the one freezer.i looked and it was unplugged!so much work to have all of it wasted..im pissed.vacuum sealed sucker/salmon eggs/turkey getting ready to pop,shes cleaning it,im not.lol

[Swampbuckster]

Oh man. I could only imagine the smell. I had a bag of filleted and gutted walleye I threw in the bed of my personal truck two weeks ago meaning to take it to the dumpster at work. Well, I forgot about it and back when it was in the 70s it began decomposing and about 500 flies feasted upon the carcasses. I finally found out what smelled like dead fish (you know, there are endless possibilities on the lake,lol) and didn't but almost puked when I opened the cap. I double bagged the fish in two contractor bags and quickly offed it at the work dumpster.
I must say your experience sounds way worse!!!

[ScoutB]

Oh man, sorry to hear that. I lost a freezer of beef once when one of my kids jammed a stuffed animal in there and spun the temperature dial to "off". I found beef blood dripping out the bottom of the door. Still not as bad as your situation though.

[drspeckler]

pissy today. it was so damn hot and my rear view mirror fell off again on the ol dodge.i was going to pull a bunch of ash logs out of the woods to cut/split and sell but nobody in their right mind is looking to buy firewood in this heat and I wasn't stupid enough to do it either,lol.1st cool week ive got to get on it ive only got a couple ricks left from the local campers buying it to cook smores.haha

[ScoutB]

You think you had it bad? I got dragged out of my nice air-conditioned office to traipse around downtown Grand Rapids to look at "art" with my wife, daughter and son-in-law and son-in-law's parents. But at least I also got to pay for dinner for the whole mob. I got blisters on my feet from all of the walking.

[Swampbuckster]

Happy first day of FALL!!!!! I worked 14 hours yesterday in the ridiculous heat. I will say though it wasn't too bad because most of my jobs throughout the day were initial inspections. Today however, oh today I have 83' of ridge vent to replace along with completely sealing the rooftop for bats. The house is in full sun and the job will take about five hours to complete from start to finish. I sure hope this is the last 80+ temps we see of the year after this heat wave from hell sweeps through. And can you believe I almost got a fire going overnight in the wood burner two weeks ago....HA!!!!

oh man house repairs/bat elimination/prevention in the heat.we painted our house and garage in 2 days a month ago.she picked the hottest weekend to do it.she made sure all her brothers had ice cold beers thru out the day and all I got was tap water.haha.so I taped off the garage which was in the shade for a good portion of the day.its early this morning so I will tell a story about my days doing drywall.draft stops above ceilngs sucked big time in the heat.it would be over 100 degress and always double layer with many cuts in the drywall before hanging it along with climbing around the rafters.well one day I was at the peak of the draft stop and my boss was below me to hand me the next pieces I had shorts on and he yells stop sweating on me!!,i replied you don't want to know where that sweat was coming from because I was sweating my balls off for real.hahaha.true story that will live with me forever.him too hahaha.
