You are sitting on your duff waiting impatiently for the ice to decide on what it is going to do.
There are a few things to help pass the time that will make your trips safer and more efficient.
On a 3x5 make your self a checklist.
Then you will want to laminate it. And get an erasable marker to make your checks. Make a spare card, one that stays permanently to your bucket or sled. This way if you go through at least we know who we will be looking for when we have to go diving for you.
Check every item twice to see if it is worn or nice.
Replace anything worn. every one knows worn items are not safe. sharpen all tools because every one knows the there is nothing more dangerous than a dull tool.
Make sure you still fit your Santa suit and it dose not have to be let out from all them fish dinners.
Check to make sure your cell phone batteries will hold up to the cold. as batteries get week the tend to loose there charge faster.
