I removed the electrical cord that runs from the on-shore power outlet to end of the dock and connects to the electric motor that lifts and lowers the boat on the boat lift. It seems as if it were just yesterday that Rick and I stalled the cord.
That last bit of maintenance was all that I needed to do to get the lift and dock ready for removal. Shore Brothers will be here tomorrow to take out both docks and the lift at the cabin. The boat lift at the house remains in the water since it is protected by the harbor.
The temperature today is 48 degrees and the wind is out of the NW at 10 mph. Forty-eight degrees outside isn't that cold if you have heat in the house, but for some reason our furnace is not working. I called a company in Bemidji to schedule a time to come out and fix it, and unlike being in San Jose, where the company would have come out in 10 days, the repair company from Bemidji was out in a matter of hours.
It turns out the ignition switch on the furnace had burned out and needed to be replaced. Since the repairman was already out, I had him do a thorough check of the furnaces at our house and cabin. With both in good working order, he left.
With the boat on shore, sitting on the trailer parked next to the garage, there was no fishing on Leech Lake today.

2009 Minnesota Walleye Stamp
Minnesota’s 2009 fishing licenses and the state’s first-ever walleye stamp now are on sale.
Anglers who purchase a license in early March can fish for 14 months as the license does not expire until April 30, 2010.
The state’s new walleye stamp also is on sale. The stamp, though not necessary to catch and keep walleye, is an innovative new way for anglers to voluntarily donate funds for walleye stocking and related activities.
“If you didn’t buy a license last year, now is the time to get one,” said Steve Michaels, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources(DNR) license center manager. “The 2009 license enables you to enjoy the last two months of the 2008 season plus all of 2009 season.”
The 2008 fishing licenses expire April 30, 2009. Funds from the $5 walleye stamp validation will flow into a dedicated account for walleye stocking activities. For $2 more, the DNR will mail the actual stamp to you as a collector’s item.
“Minnesota artist Nick Reitzel painted a powerful image for thestate’s first-ever walleye stamp,” Michaels said. “Purchasing the2009 stamp is a way to own a piece of history, start a stamp collecting tradition and support Minnesota’s state fish.”
Minnesota fishing licenses are available at more than 1,800 vendors throughout the state, by phone at 1-888-665-4236 or online.
