By the time I got home to very snowy Victor, Idaho from Florida Monday afternoon I was a sick puppy. No doubt my body was tangling with the flu. I had a sore throat, achy body, tight congested lungs and I could hardly stay awake. Somehow I had to kick it though because this week is my annual Chippewa Retreat Ice Fishing Tournament and get-together with many great friends up in Wisconsin.
When Granny saw me she told me I was too sick to go – but that was Monday night. Instead of climbing in bed for the week I woke up Tuesday and drank about five gallons of water and pumped Advil all day. By supper time I felt some improvement and lo and behold, I woke up today and my sore throat was nearly gone.
I’ve just made it to Manitowish Waters, WI and settled in the lodge. I’m about 75% of normal health. Compared to Monday I’ll take it!
Our next move is to head to the Carlin Club for dinner. Tomorrow morning we’ll be on the ice chasing pike and more.
