    Just came in from the shed getting my sleds together. Gotta be ready when first ice hits. Bob and I have ice fishing visits coming up. Next weekend at Cabela's in Hamburg PA. The weekend after that we'll be at the ice fishng show at the convention center in Syracuse NY. So I'm hoping by the time we have an open weekend, the weekend before Christmas, we'll be on the ice!

    Bring it on !!!!

Transferred all my waypoints into it from my 987 too. Got a lot of new ice gear but i'm not bringing it out til after i put the boat away.

    Put the boat away tuesday and pulled the shanty out for it's inspection. Looked fine and the poles slid pretty smooth. May put a little wax on them and the sled bottom before the week's out. Changing line and charging batteries today. Put my boat away just in time. Here's what it looks like this morning here.
