No need for a coat while waking today. Pax and I to Walworth and Lou's shop to retireve the problematic iceboat plank that has to go back to the builder because he chocks are too small for our standard Sarns iceboat runners. No little irony here: a 60 degree day on December 4 and we're talking iceboat. Ice? Did you say ice?

Actually, Bob and Lou are attending a regatta this weekend on Lake Christina, near Alexandria, MN. They have ice, but it is thin and wet.

Here's the two-up iceboat trailer Bob and Lou are rebuilding for #10 and #165.

Tonight, for dinner, it's Great Lakes yellow perch (from Canada) and butternut squash from the back yard.
