Woke at 7am, picked up my cousin and a coffee around 8...we grabbed a couple tubs of worms and a can of beans at the gas station,then with snowshoes did about 5 km in just above the knee light snow in to an old favorite fishing hole .

Cut 6 hole's ,baited and dropped six lines ...boiled the little copper kettle for a couple mugs of black tea...checked the lines half a dozen times ,windchill got down to around -20 C, so we then opened the beans and snuggled the cans right up to the embers...they boiled in about a minute ,we ate those and checked the lines a few more times ...caught a small Brookie ,but threw him back ...we had alot of cleaned hooks but no more trout .

Started to get dull so we hiked our way back out ,a little easier this time(and legs like jello now ).

Had a Turkey dinner at Mom's with all the family ,came home to watch Diff strokes on Net-flix with my little girl ,but it's down tonight .

And here I am in front of the computer for a bit
