				 | Put all the open water gear away and prepped most of my ice tackle and jigging rods.Might re-spool my frequently used tip-ups but I plan on starting out jigging first (less gear to carry).
 
 I have a pond up in southern NH that might have safe enough ice by the weekend, if the forecast temps hold true.(highs around freezing a couple days and nights in single digits.)

 |  OK once I'm ready you got first dibbs... it's a 8" STX powered by a   2 hp  techemseh about 5  years old... It has a power head cover  that zips up over it... I added a muffler guard ( after burning my $300 ice suit) I've got   a spare carburetor and multiple re build kits for that walboro carb... I'm running a Zam carb.. on it now because IMHO it is better suited ( used on Oregon chain saws)for cold climates than the plastic made in Pakistan carb ( walboro)... I've got spare blades  and enough oil for a few years supply... Speaking of Oil.. this engine has only had Amisoil synthetic and I run it @ 100:1.. the oil and gas can as well as a 10" auger extension all are going with it..
 
I'll be looking for $300.. this thing looks and rund=s better than new...  when it "officially" goes on sale I'll post pictures in the proper forum.. |
