This is about friends and I made a new one this year. His name is Wally and we fished Lake Hodgson in our own boats. We often fished the same area and I learned much from him. It caused me to change some tactics and I had my best year fishing. The morning moon was just setting in the western sky.
He started to come out earlier in the morning because of the fish I had caught before he hit the water.
He caught this nice Northern Pike during the Summer.
We ended up fishing together in his boat after I had put mine to bed late in the season. These are a few nice Yellow Perch from a day of fishing.
What I decided to show was a photo from Lake Hodgson of Wally in his boat. I love reflections on the water.

This weeks theme was tough, thanks Dave. I could have shown Christmas cookies but decided on another baked treat. So I share with you the just opened NY2C (New York to Chicago) Pizza Shop. It is owned by friends of ours and is located in Stow, Ohio at the Giant Eagle Plaza next to Applebee's.
The decor is really cool with the two city theme.
It has some neat graffiti as you come into the shop.
The owners are Kenny (baking) and Nancy Long.
You have your choice of New York thin crust,
or Chicago deep dish.
I chose for my header a look at the baking oven with Ken working with the final touches on the NY pizza.

This weeks theme came at a good time. Last week we had a thaw and I went to the Cuyahoga River for some photos. The water was high and most of the snow was gone.
But this is North East Ohio and things change quickly. A storm front moved in and this is "Just Now". The roads were such a mess.
This snow plow wishes I would make tracks and get out of the way.
My neighbors grass was cool covered with the snow.
This is a friends back yard with a cool covering of the pine tree.
My header is from a trip I took "Just Now" to see how my fishing spot looked and here is the lake in its full glory. It will still be a while to put the boat on the water. Hard water is hard to get the bait into. The warm spell has made the ice unsafe to be on top.

This was my theme so I had to think of what tracks meant to me. I thought of train tracks but saw no trains. Then I thought of excavator tracks. They run on tracks and were at the new bridge construction.
I decided to show the two pieces of equipment that were there. I like the blade on this one for snow removal.
Then I thought of all the tracks in my back yard. Between me, the deer, the squirrels and the rabbits there are a lot of tracks.
So here are the deer making the tracks.
This is a scared deer making tracks, maybe this is where the term "high tailing it" arrived in our language.
This shot as the girl hit the woods was my favorite and became my header.

This was an easy theme for me. As you know, I consider myself a fisherman and am on the boat throughout the seasons except Winter. I thought I would show my Fish Ohio catches this year. I had caught a 13" Fish Ohio Crappie during the year but in October I caught a 13 1/4" Crappie and a 9" Bluegill.
Two days later I caught a 10" Fish Ohio Bluegill. This is the one I turned in for the award.
I caught a 13 3/4" Fish Ohio Yellow Perch which was a record for me with three Fish Ohio award fish for the year.
I also caught a big Grass Carp on the last day on the water.
The photo I decided for my header is the fun side I showed on our Europe trip when my friend and I tried on these crazy hats in Innsbruck, Austria.

Cleaning photos this week have been all about cleaning driveways and streets. The snow storms I started in December have turned into February ice storms. We have had record snows and now this latest blizzard that moved in may set some Winter records. The good thing is Punxsutawney Phil - Pennsylvania and Buckeye Chuck - Ohio, the groundhog weather predictors, have called for an early Spring. So to show some results of "Cleaning" I show the following photos. This is my driveway after an 8" snow was cleaned by my snowblower.
Here is the small plow truck cleaning the circle across from my house.
This is at Kent State and the tractor they use to clean the streets and sidewalks. School was called off for two days.
Here is the big plow truck headed for my road. Please move and stop taking photos.
But what I have shown in my header is the cleaned roads being recovered by blizzard conditions we are having. First an ice storm and then freezing rain, sleet and snow with high winds. I'm ready for Spring and a thawed lake.
Check out what the others have shown from the links above.
