Did they cancel the tournament today?   Just curious considering the weather.  TIA

Yes, they moved the event to next Saturday. I think that's the first time they have moved event due to weather in last 3 years.

The BV pistol range is closed down for a while, so no ammo being expended by me.  Might have to go to an indoor range next week if the roads are decent.

Are you practicing up to shoot me for all of my smart aleck comments? 🤐

Smart call. I recall a club derby in the early 80s when it -6 at launch time. We had to thaw out nearly everyone's steering cables with a bottle torch. Had to jump start a couple guys who probably hadn't charged their batteries good. I had 2 little spoon fish about 10 AM when the club prez pulled up and said we're done. Everyone else is gone. If you have a fish, you win. I did and I won.

Anyway, your reel and rod guides all ice up so bad at that temp that you can hardly cast. Thus my decision to spoon fish that day.

This year im constantly cold. Found this pic from 12 years ago when I used to be hard core at lake springfield 

I'd like to say I've never been that mad at em ... but I can't. I will say that it's been a minute, though.

Have to protect myself from all those rabid weasels and minks you have released into the local lakes.

Actually, I think those may have gotten loose from the  nightwatch detail down the lake in the Cove That Shan't Be Named. Ever. Forever and ever. Amen.
