The heat and cold (lake) are great for bites.

Yeah, I've gone in my sauna with a few bites, pretty much gone after
the bath.

Started raining hard.
Sauna no question now.


one of the great frozen lake jumpers appeared.

Jumper? Heh, we once played a game by stepping on a floating chunk
of the vertical crystal ice and then back onto the main ice. Each time
the chunk went under water and when it came up, ice crystals would wash
off making the chunk smaller. The last fella split it and went in up to
his waist.

Oh some of the other did that "the other night."

So I have to wait until Wed. (1/2 way pt on this trip).

7:15 your time... must be hot.

Approaching 10 PM my time.

Do you hear chandeliers in the heat of day or is the pond ice free
this year?
People were still able to walk on the lake today.

Amazing how strong those crystals are when locked together, but
pliable too.

You don't need a lot for float, but we are beyond that now.

We call this the Shackleton period with boats.


75% coverage still, but it was warmer before the rain today.
As long as there are vertical edges, the crystals should be falling.

More holes opening up.

Maybe later. Ideally you want a breeze.

Yes, when the chunks run into each other or shore/rock lots of
crystals fall. But, the heat of the day can cause them to calve off.
Those are so quiet that you need to be right there to hear them.

We can't put the pier out until the ice is gone because it will collide
with the pier. We'll see. I should shave this evening, too.

So you got amused by the card for all its opposites.
Others got wolverines, PBs, and grizzly bears.
