A trip or two like that will sharpen your memory for sure ! You will remember this going forward!

I made a trip out early yesterday but we were about 5° warmer! But still pretty cold with the 5+ mph wind !
So the night before my memory reminded me of a trip like this last year that I was very well unprepared for!
so I crossed all my t’s and dotted all my I’s this time the night before!
dry rags in da boat ! Check
A fresh bulk pack of hand warmers in da boat ! Check
A dozen pair of lined cloth gloves in da boat just in case a pair or 2/3 gets wet ! check
coveralls in da boat ! Check
Warm clothing layers laid on top of clothes I’m wearing ! Check
foot warmers laid on top of socks and insulated boots I was wearing! Check
remote laid on top of truck keys to go around my neck before going out the door! Check
stayed warm this time! Thanks to a trip just like this last year !

glad you had some action to take your mind off the things that were for gotten this time!
