Minner,
I like your attitude!! Too many people expect everything to be just great all the time and when "life" doesn't meet their expectations, they whine and cry.

Best to look at it like you did and say you had a very memorable experience, one you probably couldn't buy anywhere. And you and the wife sounded like you were bonding with one another against the elements and that means more than catching two limits of fish every day.

I had a wheel bearing fail last Sunday while headed for a lake to go fishing and rather than bemoan my fate, I looked at the bright side....it could have happened this Saturday when I will be driving to Ky Lake!!

There's always a silver lining to every black cloud if you just keep a positive attitude toward life.

If you're healthy, fed, and sheltered in the winter, life can't be too bad.
