...it could need work.

Actually, the new trailer is a bit on the old side, and the back panel of the accessory box has proved to be rotten. Along with that, the metal frame needed wire brushing followed by Rustoleumizing. And, as always, a new wiring harness is required. What could be more fun than projects like these?

Report from Oconomowoc says that Lac La Belle is absolutely flat, smooth, and black — perfect ice, thick enough to support shanties. Bri said it reminded him of the time on Crystal Lake when we skated on a newly formed, clear sheet while watching a muskrat swim below. Ice like this doesn’t come along every day, and it needs to be taken advantage of.

Also of note, I experienced a “eureka moment” regarding the old Keurig coffeemaker, and by gum the eureka was right. The clog was just where eureka said it would be, and was easily removed. So…the good, old, well-used coffee machine is going back into service tomorrow. Which means the new one (rather a lightweight) is going to be placed on the redundant list and assigned to the position of “standby.” Good place for it. Can/t forget that the Kagawong Keurig suffered a malfunction last summer and almost ended up at the Mall.
