Man, isn't it beautiful?

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I am about to go buy my fishing license.

Living "Up Nort" is a real pain in the ass for a good 7 months out of the year, and I am not nearly financially stable enough to be a snowbird, so I am stuck wtih SAD and a mean case of tendonitis from all the shoveling.

But I can't complain, this time of year rolls around and I remember why I put up with the slush, sleet, snow, salt, shoveling and a few four-letter words that don't necessarily start with the letter "S".

Mmmmmmm.... Walleye.
