Time away to relax! Not in this household.

We decided to head to the cabin and do a bit of fishing on the hard water.  We just needed to get away.  Things have been a bit nuts around our place with the holidays and all. (8 get togethers at our place for the holidays). 

So, we get to the cabin and found that the guy we contracted to plow the driveway, DIDN'T.  We found someone close by, paid a premium on New Years Day.  Opened the Cabin and found no heat.  The gas man didn't fill the tank because the drive way wasn't plowed.  Paid extra to have them deliver on a holiday with short notice.  Also noticed a stench in the cabin.  Refridgerator went out, and all the food is rotting!  Need to call extended warrenty company for our 1 1/2 year new fridge. 

Finally today we hit the ice for some quiet time.  The fishing was great...the biting was very slow.  1 small northern which we let live.  But, this wasn't about catching fish, it was about hiding out with my loving wife and spending some uninterrupted time together, except for the visit from the local game warden!

Well, now that you have all that negativity out of the way, the rest of the visit will be wonderful I'm sure.

Taking time to be with your wife and spend quality time together is worth all the hassles. Stay warm and keep the hooks baited!

After getting all of the work done it was time to come home.  I hope the game warden didn't cost you anything.

Morning William,

After all said and done, you did accomplish the goal while taking care of some necessary side issues.

Nice that you didn't let the negatives ruin the quiet time with your lovely wife.
