The temperature this morning is 28 degrees. The sky is grey and it looks like it will snow today. The wind is out of the north at 10-12 mph.
It's 8:30 a.m. and we're getting ready to leave. Our flight from Bemidji to Minneapolis leaves at 10:50 a.m. Tom and Elaine Malay have graciously agreed to give me and Kathleen a ride to the airport.
Since we don't need to drive our Chevy Silverado to the airport, I put it in the garage, hooked it to a trickle charger to keep the battery fresh, and secured it for the long winter. I also locked up the outbuildings on the property and turned off the water at the house. I turned the thermostat down to 50 degrees in the house and I think we're ready to go.
Tom and Elaine have arrived so I took our luggage out to their Jeep Cherokee. Kathleen gets into the Jeep, I turn on the security system at the house, pull the door shut, lock it, and join Kathleen, Tom and Elaine in the Cherokee. Kathleen and I share a knowing glance -- that we had a great run of time at the lake -- as we drive down the driveway and turn onto W. Shores Rd.
Good bye Leech Lake. I hope to see you sometime during the winter to do some ice fishing.
No fishing today.
