    So the wife thinks I’ve lost it,
    I changed all the line on my hard water rods,
    ran all over the yard paying it out and reeling back in to get the twists out, (neighbors now confirm I’m crazy),
    removed, dismantled, cleaned and reassembled the carb on the StrikeMaster,
    sharpened the spud,
    charged the battery in the Vex, (maybe I need a new one?),
    washed the tackle box in the dishwasher, (just to get the hard, dry waxies off),
    cleaned out the Clam Yukon in the garage,
    and bought a new truck to haul it all in.

    Am I missing something?

    Bring on the ice!!!

    It all seems perfectly normal to me.

    The neighbors are just a little jealous.

    Pulled in my rods tonight to put the new line on them… but that is as far as I got due to being “tired” after going to the Vikes… had planned, however, on a big night of pulling out my Yukon… cleaning up a bit… switching out my open water tackle with my ice tackle… etc. I don’t think you are crazy…. either that, or my own judgement is impaired.

    My wife and I both must be crazy! I’ve done exactly what you have and she get’s up at 4:00 am to go shopping on black Friday! I at least have a little sanity left. And I’m providing food for the family!!!
