Ice Fishing Times:  This morning the old weather stick is saying that the best times to be out there will be from 8:30 AM – 10:45 AM.  Then again later on from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM.  I give it a 5 fish rating out of 5 for catching a few.  Great day for fishing.

Around Town.  Not to much to report here this morning. Business’s are slow which is to be expected this time of year.  Things though will pick up in a few weeks with spring entering into the picture.  I see the seed catalogues are out for spring, been getting a few in the mail.  Nothing can take ones mind of the hash winter days more than browsing through one of the catalogues.  Just the pictures of the flowers and vegetables seems to brighten ones day.  Words and pictures have a way of doing that to ones mind.  Tea time here, Chaga is tea of choice this morning.  Enjoy your day, stay warm and safe.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]
