Even though yesterday’s high temperature did not elevate above single digits, we convened a hasty meeting of the Aluminum Beer Can Melting Guild at the lake. The frigid temperatures called for a big, flame-gnashing campfire. The cold proved deep enough to require nudging twelve-packs of beer near the fire to keep them from freezing.
In spite of the cold weather,
Tad managed to melt down enough cans for the first official aluminum pour of
2022.
Though the ice started
developing on the lake only two weeks ago, our recent frigid weather impulses
have now produced ten inches of ice. Toward
the end of the day, several guild members wandered out on the ice to check some
set lines. Emelia, age two, pulled the
first of several ling up through holes in the ice.
