What is a walleye Marty...no bother...you've won me mate. Sounds like the BBQ to die for...with a couple of beers of course.

Cheers, Vince

Well, the beers go without sayin' Vince.
Walleye is kind of like freshwater haddock, with a hint of a sweet hazelnut flavor. It has meat that cooks in large flakes like a good saltwater fish. The best part is the very large cheeks (between the eye and gill plate). These are the size of a decent scallop. The nutty flavor seems strongest in these, especially when lightly fried in butter.

Well ended up coming home after we lost all power at work, they are predicting 12"-18" snow for here tonight and tomorrow then -10F with wind chill down to -40F. Hopefully we won't loose power for a week like 3 or 4 years ago after ice storm took down poles, lines. Good thing for generators and dc/ac inverters.

-27F here this morning 8 inches of snow, so now I think it is about 56 or 58 inches for the year.

Well went to the fishing contest and we are now 3 for 3 , entered 3 and got skunked 3 time , but there is always next year. They only let in 100 to enter and out of the 100, 12 fish were weaghted. 12 inches of snow on the ice. So the fishing has been bad.

Tremblay:
Yup always next year for ice fishing, and you will get some fish next year. Apparently my neighbors across the street from me also lost power for about 4 blocks. Hmmm, does not look good for the rest of the night because of ice. But I'm all fueled up with gas for gen plus have the dc/ac inverter just in case. And the wife just invited the same neighbors because their power was lost at 11am. The family will stay in the extra bedrooms because they have twins under 6 months. So they are more then welcome. Now Vince, we need lots of beer tonight.. Smile

They are predicting this is going to be a big winter storm. 1500 miles of snow fall over a foot deep and loss of power. After hitting all the winter storms around the country in December, I'm enjoying a nice January. In CA this week enjoying 70F and sunshine. I will even miss the ice and snow in TX tomorrow.

Stay safe!

Just heard on the news that it is to be -40F tonite, wind chill -55 to -65.

No problems with the beer OV1...its real beer drinking weather here...34*C (93*F) yesterday, 32*C (90*F) today...and hot weather with the occasional shower for the rest of the week.

You guys take it easy in all that snow...and don't do anything silly that is likely to put you in danger.

Cheers, Vince

It was 67 here Sunday and never even got up to 40 on Monday, but at least we didn't get any precip. Hope all the Nuts in the midwest get through their storm OK.

Yup...what Punkin said...hope everybody weathers their particular storm...seems these bloody storms are everywhere right now...we have the MOTHER of all Cyclones (hurricane) brewing off the coast of Far North Queensland. They say it has the capacity to go to a Cat 4 Cyclone with winds over 260 kph (161 mph).

Cheers, Vince

I reckon you are right Trembles...if it hits the coast as a Cat 3 or Cat 4 it is going to be a very nasty blow. Fingers crossed for the people in its path.

Batten down the hatches! - I laid in a new Kerosene heater and moved a new pile of firewood into the garage with severe icing and over a foot of snow and 40 MPH winds for later on tomorrow and Wednesday - I fully expect to lose power for a while...
