Still plugging away ...Keeping busy..Working every weekend..

I picked a few messages asking if I was retired the past couple of days and I was pretty confused till I was told not being at the Golden Gloves registration and I guess some lake shots I have been posting.  Let me tell you I'm around for a little longer doing that photog thing.

The reason I had to walk away from the Chicago Golden Gloves was very simple if you check out my schedule and committments I had already made since early January.

Worlds record 2017 "Ice Wheelie " attempt cancelled ..

Normally when I get a cancellation it's because of a promoter , fighter maybe Athletic commission , to day it was nature.  Ryan Suchanek was scheduled once again to do work on ice but due to ice conditions ( its been a tough year lake activities on Wisconsin lakes ) the event is being rescheduled for late February, 2017.  Seem fitting to do a repost of FEBRUARY 7th , 2016.

                        Below is from 2016

On this Sunday February 7th, 2016 , your hero's toss a pigskin and ran around on grass ...My hero's of this Sunday  scrapped a engine around their legs and went  One hundred and thirty Five (135)  plus miles per hour ....Did I mention they were on "Ice" ? ...Oh yeah, also there's that thing about being on one wheel ...

Here's a few quick pick images of the World Class best of the best breaking World Guinness records at Lake Koshkonong , Wisconsin just a few hours ago.  I'm not really sure on the official times but I believe ;

Ryan Suchanek     "Stoppie record" of 252"     @ 86 MPH

Wheelie 136 MPH          (Please note, needs to be checked and confirmed)

Ice Fishing Time of the year starts on Lake Beulah

Friday December 23rd , 2016 the Men of East Troy , Wisconsin came out and tested the 2016 winters fishing.  There were a few souls that came out on Thursday but I didnt venture out till Friday.  About 33 degree's with eight inches of ice, if someone snag a 40 inch Northern Pike I didn't see it.  But Russ caught a three inch Blue Gill , not exactly a keeper but it was the first catch of the 2016 winter.

What Tomba has been doing during the past month ....

Over the years, several times I have tried  had tried posting a "image a day " and it just never seems to workout with maintaining, life and other photo projects seem to get in the way. I thought it would be fun (for me anyway) to look back over recent weeks and pick out my favorites of different recent photo sessions.
