January 14th 2016 Lake Report ..

Because next year we will be talking and asking "so when was it safe to walk on the lake in earlier 2016".  and the answer is the past couple of days with the weather beingsingle digit, the first fisherman with a sled full of gear came walking by us on Tuesday (January 13th) morning.  I believe a little early but at the same time , I saw a shanty and a four wheeler out on the ice (They are no longer there). 

Today several sleds (snowmobiles) and four wheelers doing their thing, couple of fisherman in the bay across from us was out most of the day....Come sunset when I did these quick photo's it was pretty quiet out there but I did just hear a sled going all out just now.

 

Seven day forecast .....This is a very crazy year ...

I believe Rahm Emanuel implemented a City of Chicago ordnance that anyone walking

past Cloud Gate  must take a picture ...So Deb and I did our part....

Chicago is truly a city in motion ....Constantly...

and last but not least ,Peking Duck for lunch at Lao Sze Chuan located at 520 Michigan Avenue....Great Chinese restaurant...I loved that place, good pick by Megan.

Back to the Lake Beulah life ....which is very good!

A little "now and then " ..

Now being Saturday December 5th ,2015 and "then" being December 7th, 2014.

As seen below the last boat (as far as I know) on the water or as I like to say the last man standing the Schneider cruiser.  Yes, its still on the water and today there were even a few kayaker's watching the December 5th Sunset from the water.  I'm going to go with that does not happen very often.  I need to talk to some of lake old timers to tell me how often.

Because someone has to be first ...and its not going to be me!

December 7th2014

On Lake Beulah  , where the all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.”  someone has to venture out on the ice first.  And I beleive this brave soul was that first person (that I am aware of ) to break the ice.  .....Oh , sorry Garrison Keillor.

Because I know you are wondering pretty much like I was ....Its five inches thick and the temperature today was about 40 degree's Fahrenheit ( 4.4 Celsius) ...He's a lot braver then me ....

Today was putting up the Tree Day ...So I should be posting some Christmas Pics within a couple of days.

Cheers,  Tomba
