Cabin Fever?

[HD]

Around this time of year my wife gets cabin fever REALLY bad.

I end up spending more time out in the shop, or fishing late ice cause she gets crabby.....
It's a good time to get projects done!
If I'm out in the shop, I usually carve decoys.

How is everbody else doing?
Do you get cabin fever REALLY bad too?
What do you do, so you don't get it?
Do you have any projects you would like to share?

In years past I have done a lot of late ice fishing, and usually re-line my spools. This year I'm pretty busy changing diapers and what not. That and its becoming more essential to keep up on the maintenance of our vehicles having kids and all.

I've got two kids so there's always plenty to do. I've been doing a lot of work on my Guide Service to get it up and going. Next week it's time to get the boat ready for open water. I'll be hitting open water in the next couple of weeks pretty hard so it's going to start picking up for me.

go visit some outdoorsman...male or female retired........at a nursing home.....they will feel better ...you will feel better....bring and clean your tackle box.......and take your wife...

Cabin fever, I used to get that when I was young but now that I am older as Hunterdown keeps telling me it does not to seem to be such a problem. A few years ago I put up a green house and that keeps me busy tending to plants as I start enough for my garden and the kids who are also growers. I also have a tilling business on the side and in mid April the calls start coming in. Since  I live on the shores of the big lake planting season can differ as much as six weeks depending on how far away from the lake you live. Yes the big lake does effect the weather that much here. Then of course we have the Challenge to work on and I always seem to have something to write about. The son bought a boat last fall so we will have a project to get that ready for fishing this summer. Besides if I don't act busy the wife always has something on her Do List!

I just plain go nuts and work on the boat and tear apart every real i own clean oil and greese them and go through my tackle about 50 times and wait and wait till can hit the open water again

I tend to reload enough ammo for the upcoming sporting clays season,,, this winter I made what my brother calls a "tooth chipper" I took a chisel plow point and had a buddy weld a few angles too it.. it fits in the hitch of my polaris and will dig down about 3 inches when inserted. we'll see how it works this spring.
