Yeah, Brad beat me to it! I showed up at my favourite haunt this morning only to find Bradford whacking the shoreline ice with a stick :lol:

ha!

Ahh the old whacking ice with a stick ice thickness test. Also knows as the WIWS-ITT... :lol: 8)

I can just picture it now... Mind you, Iceman tried that with my TWO oars in the boat, and the 1 inch of ice got the better on my oars... Anyone have some good, cheap ores for sale? :oops: ... so I'm not convinced about this test...

The ice is only about an inch thick in front of my place. I broke through and waded out a bit. The level is a bit high here.
