Sounds like a great way to spend your free time in the winter!!! Hope you get a good mess of fish to fry up.

Re: one way to make winter fly by
Looks like there may be some fun in flying part of that. Now I like fishing, don't get me wrong, but one must really want to get away from the wife really badly to go ice fishing. To a good ole southern boy ice fishing is to be sitting on a cooler of iced down beer and bream fishing.

You've heard of E-85 fuel? Well, that jug is E-100... runs in the motor OR the fisherman...

"Ol'Gar" (who was borned in the west, a native of the Anasazi ...) is a derivative of the name "Al'Gar" which in the tongue of the Anasazi means "eater of beans"....)... is "stinky" enuff already.... 
Here's an old petroglyph which was found on a cliff-dwelling wall, which documented his birth.

Those things at the back of his heels are spurs. The larger "plume" from his ....ahem... "rear".... is why he got his name!
(Additional info: It has been suggested that "Al'Gar" has also been translated as soul-brother-of- "Al Gore".)

Gar-
Where's the travel trailer? Any good swamp boat should have a small travel trailer up on top in case the fishin' is too good to come home and there's still plenty of beer to spend the night.

Ol' Gar, not sure I've ever seen an ice house with those long pointy things underneath it. And it looks like it's missin' the hitch out front, or the log chain to pull it around with. We just gotta get you up here so you can do a better job of buildin' your next ice fishing shack!
