MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Good question Dave G. Let me think I most likely will try and catch up on my unfinished remodeling this year.
I am going to throw an ice fishing tournement for all my nieces and nephews, complete with a plaque. Each year we wil all get together and have a blast. There will be ice skating, snow shoe races for the adults and lots of hot coco and hot dogs. Then of coarse try tying a bunch of flies for the spring fishing trip to the Bighorns. On those long cold winter nights I will read while I sit by the fire . I am looking forward to sitting by the fire snuggling up to the wife. I will be doing allot of praying for my son in Iraq for his safe return as well for all the young men and women over there.

Amen to that Dave.
Myself I am not sure what I will be doing, most likely keeping the roof snow free, looks like a snowy winter this year. May get to tying some flies for fishing but that has not been my thing the last few years. Will be watching NASCAR Starting in Feb. but not as much now that Mark Martin is part time. Keeping warm and ready for spring, sure hope to fish more this coming year then the last two.

I think my Winter outdoor activities will be limited to the
regular one trip a day to the woodpile with the wheelbarrow.
My indoor activities will revolve around the stove, the computer,
and the fly-tying vise. In addition, I have several canvas' laying
around with sketches on them that are waiting for paint to be
applied....And then there is my "when I get around to it list" which
seems endless. Opps, almost forgot about 150 old fishing books
that I downloaded this Fall. I'm beginning to realize now that Winter may not be long enough.

Stephen besides the painting your activity list sounds very much like mine.....Oh and then ther is the snow shovellig thingy 
Shovel whats that ? whats a shovel ? wheres my fly rod ? Is that something old timers used to dig up worms with ? Sunny days going to be a sunny day , Hey Mr blue bird on my shoulder , I can't help Im feeling so springy today. 
Ok its only mid 20's but the sun is shinning and its nice and toasty in here. Next week its going to be mid 40's Just a few more degrees and off to the stream I go.
Hey Dave lay off the frigg'n brownies and ice cream man Supposed to get a foot and 1/2 here sunday and I'm a getting sick of digg'n monma out of the ditch because some retard sold the tractor
Sorry Mike but them brownies are yummy with ice cream on top. Ya I guess you guys are getting tired of the snow already. Wish I could say the same here
Its usually not like thaat here!!! Guess its like the salmon dissapearing no one can find a definate reason for it everything is just changing!!

What are you guys doing during the winter when some of us poor saps can't get out on a stream(Yes Dave V directed at you
I'm usually catching up on my reading, both fly and non fly and I play a ton of chess, I'm not that good but I've loved it ever since my Dad taught me when I was a kid.
We also do a lot of candlepin bowling as a family- kids love it and it keeps the family together one night out of the week so we can actually see our teenagers between jobs and school activities and yes dates
So guys what keeps you nimble and young
