"What's he doing in there?"


Video by Meade, on the shore of Lake Mendota, today in the afternoon. We don't know what that man was doing out there in the water. Perhaps limnology. 

Later, I had no idea Meade was making this video of me, traipsing about in the forest:

Creepy
Get consent go film... even the wife.

Does he do that at home too? Record without you knowing? I wonder if Cosby did that to Camille... maybe some married folk imply consent, waking up getting poked, or getting filmed and surprised later with the content that was secretly recorded...

Maybe he lost his outboard motor, or his ice fishing auger.

I guess we'll just have to Waits and see.....

Decades ago when I was a math grad student at UW, I had a friend (also in the math department) who was married to a grad student in limnology. She explained to me many times what limnology was, and I always forgot within five minutes for some reason. Something to do with water, that's all I remember.
One time the limnology grad students challenged the math grad students to a football game. It did not go well for us. I guess one of their guys played college ball somewhere, and they had us beat in quantity and quality. If I recall correctly, we could outdrink them though. Certainly we threw better parties. You wouldn't think math grad students would throw killer parties, but every Labor Day and MLK day weekend... man, I remember the beginnings of a lot of those parties.

It looks like he was trying to find something on the bottom, so maybe he was searching for some ice fishing gear that fell through the ice.

I did a LOT of ice fishing out there in the late 1970's. There is a really steep drop off that's about 25 yards from the shore line that drops very quickly from about 8 feet to 50 feet and it was a nice place in the late 1970's to catch winter Walleye through the ice at night time.

That there is what we people hereabouts call a Sasquatch. An aquatic one apparently.

Along the shoreline where I live, there are a lot of no-fishing zones. That is so people don't leave hooks and lines in the water where some person (or in this case a Sasquatch critter) might step on 'em.

…an uncle belongs to a snooty fish club and Mother’s Say meant taking the ladies to lunch there followed by some streamer fishing from canoes in the afternoon. Yes, we married well…snooty fish club won’t allow me to use my gear so uncle lets me borrow fancy fly rod. Yuk. So, my goofy wife hooks up with a fish squealing so hard she won’t retrieve so me navigating the windy waters with canoe, I set down my borrowed rod so pull in the wife fish. Meanwhile borrowed rod hooks up with a fish and pulls borrowed rid overboard. Yuk. So after replacing fancy rod goofy wife send uncle one of those YouTuber magnets to try and recover the rod. Doesn’t work and another snotty fish club member would later recover the rod but uncle becomes the king in the north when the Connecticut River valley gets word he will recover lost ice augers with his powerful magnet. Half dozen salvage missions last I heard…

Climate looks a little cold for a swamp ape. But, truth be told, very little is known about them.

The search for the legendary Henry Winkler's sunken treasure of Lake Mendota continues.

We guys take pictures of the people we love. Especially candid shots like this. I often take shots of my sweetie-peetie walking along smelling the roses. It makes me happy.

Lesson learned, back up all the data on your cell phone, just in case.

Reminds me of this unfortunality.

In 2011, a high-profile incident occurred at Robert Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda, California, where first responders stood on the shore for nearly an hour while Raymond Zack, a 52-year-old suicidal man, stood neck-deep in the water and eventually drowned"

Youtube offered me the video yesterday before I came here. I knew it was the Prof before reading the credit. (Prof in the woods; I don't know who is the wader.)
