Title: Are you ready for Christmas??
Post by: djkimmel on December 09, 2016, 02:59:57 PM
I admit I am not done shopping yet. But I'm half way there at least if not 2/3 the way done. It's coming on fast, but first we have a couple meetings to go to this weekend including Michigan B.A.S.S. Nation at D&R Sports Center on Sunday.

Got all my shopping done,  boats and all fishing equipment put away.

Monday I have Rotator Cuff Surgery if all goes as planned.  Going to be riding the couch for a couple weeks.  Not sure how long until I can drive.  Good thing is my new Smart TV is able to play You Tube Videos.  Got lots of Bassmaster and FLW shows to watch.

I'm all set
We just exchange small gifts these days
For myself I bought a new trolling motor on Black Friday
They will start shipping the Ultrax on the 16th,
But the Boats put away so it really doesn't matter when it comes in.

I'm pretty much all set for Christmas....I'm hoping the lakes are frozen over by then so I can drill some holes and do some vertical jigging..

Ice fishing is something I'm looking forward too though the past couple days have dented my enthusiasm - not used to this cold and snowy weather yet of course! I will wait until the ice is fairly thick before I venture out though! Stay safe!

I gave her a few choices....

New pots and pans

New Vacuum

Chia Pet

Squatty Potty

Or a new rod and reel.... I'm hoping for the best.
