Today we had a surprise visitor, I am terrible at names and the surprise visit was so wonderful I was overwhelmed by this kind gesture!

I am sure this gentleman’s name was Brett and his young son brought us blue pails today.

Walked in – “Where would you like us to put these pails” – he and his young son unloaded them for me- and off they went!

I am sure I thanked them but forgot to wish them a Merry Christmas!

Dale and I had tried all the blue pails we had from last year and not one worked with the new Gamma lids.

With the new blue pails, we brought in the Gamma lid

and every blue pail that Brett and his son brought us the Gamm lids fit perfectly, we tried the lid on every one. 

We cannot thank these two very kind young men.

Thank you for giving us such a great gift!

These acts of kindness are what makes a great world!

Pail update

We found out that the Gamma lids are for 5 gal. food storage pails only-

Lessons well learned.  We thank everyone who are helping us with the white and blue pails.  We found that the hydraulic blue pails will not work. Go figure!!

Lake Condition update

We have an area we are going to start fishing today.

Starting with Day house fishing only and will be 1 house only the first day fishing.

We are choosing not to have any of the big Sleepers out on the ice as of yet.  Some of our guests are good with staying on land and fishing in the day house,

looks like that’s where will be start this year.  

First of all THANK YOU to all who helped us

with white 5 gallon pails!

We are now in search of BLUE 5 gallon pails!

Anyone that may have access to clean- good condition BLUE COLORED pails.  We are in search of them.  If anyone gets hydraulic fluid by the 5 gallon pail – we would take those off your hands once the pail is empty.

We could use 30 in quantity

=========

Method to our madness for those that would like to know:

White pails: Sleepers to dispose of liquids

Blue Pails: Sleepers and Dayhouse bathrooms

Red pails: Sleepers and Day houses guests for their minnows when they arrive at their fish house.

Many of you may already know that there is a New Minnesota Law that came into effect on July 1, 2023.

Dale and I have provided all means of keeping Lake of the Woods lake free from garbage littering, debris, and sewage. There is now a $100 civil penalty for each violation. Our garbage cans, the white and blue pails are a significant part

to help anyone

be free of any fine’s.
