It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

I do, in fact own Steger mukluks. Just wore them to the pond hockey championships on Sunday. My feet were toasty warm standing on the frozen lake in the blazing 6 degree F heat wave. I'm sorry tho, you can't borrow them as you'll stretch out the moose hide.
Come on and wade way out into the water with me, we're drowning on dry land.

Lynn - you were correct - I'd stretch them out with my feet.
Brad - big hands, big feet.... eat your heart out.

I normally make it each year, have had the pleasure of knowning and diving with Ken Merryman for more then a dozen years. Now I run my own boat to Isle Royale, but have been happy to move down the dock to make room for the "Heyboy" even at 11 o'cock at night. Still makes me smile to hear, "you going to move or what" over the radio in the darkness and remoteness of the northern end of Isle Royale, knowing you've got to climb out of that warm cuddy to the chill of the night air. Met Mr. Stonehouse above the Emperor, another delightful guy, see why his books are as good as they are with that natural born storyteller. This year I will be down in Cozy, will have to wait till summer to see those guys, will miss the talks though.

Hmm.... a dive show and a fairly inexpensive ticket from DFW to MSP... 
Anyone able to pick up and drop off a 'wench' at MSP?
Got a couch I can crash on?
Wanna go to the dive show with me?
Wanna do a Happy Hour AFTER the show for local area members plus anyone who we might recruit at the show to join us?
Ok ok...gotta get back to work and stop day dreaming of such exotic dive destinations covered by snow....
On the other hand...
I could easily see myself doing this???

Ouch. Miss a day (okay, three days) and miss a lot. I think.
Is this an argument? Am I an idiot? Can passersby tell the difference??
Please do NOT answer this.Is it true MN icefishermen protect themselves from bear attacks by kicking them in the ice hole?

Hey Kamala,
I dont get back from Cozy till the shows close to over, but you could crash at my place, and not just on the couch, on your own queen wench size bed. Happy hour sounds dandy too, cant pick you up, but I can drop you, (like the wench you are), LMAO! , at MSP when its all over, so there! Terry
