I have to wait two weeks because that's how long it takes him to get the truck out and restored back to "operating condition". And I keep doing that until his truck stays put. And, if all else fails, I get Tim Z to tell be when it's "safe". (See his input.)

Two things make it very UNIQUE: 1. The axle & wheel assembly is hydraulically lowered to drive it on the highway. When you get the trailer/shed unit out onto your ice fishing spot, you release the hydraulic pressure and the axle & wheels retract up into the trailer frame - effectively lowering the steel trailer frame down onto the ice. 2. The steel frame is designed such that there is one fair sized rectangular area that has no steel frame or reinforcing members in it. That area is about 36" by ~60". Also, the tongue on these trailers is either removable or foldable - to get it out of the way. Once the "Ice Fishing House" is lowered onto the ice and you get your heater going, you bore your holes in the ice within that open, unobstructed rectangle. After you get the opening in the ice, it takes you skimming and occasionally chipping the ice that tries to grow back in the hole. Of course if you go home for the night, you'll have to drill & chip all over again the next day. I hope this helps.

I am almost ready for ice fishing yes indeed. I gave my one Son Ice fishing equipment for Christmas and that could only mean one thing right? You guessed it he wants me to take him. Better let the ice get a bit thicker though. Have a blessed night Mac. Glad you got a good sense of humour. Kind Regards, Timothy J.

After WWII, the GI's fell in love with them. The first one brought to the US (as the "story"/history goes) was actually brought by Helen Keller. She was in Japan on a cultural exchange mission(?). The Japanese Minister of Culture(?) gave her one as a departure gift (NOT a "seeing eye dog" kind of gift.). It was sort of akin to one of our national officials giving a Bald Eagle to a departing dignitary. The Akita is still HIGHLY regarded in Japan - for good reason as Ron Taylor mentioned.

She's 120 lbs - and about 28" (72cm) at her front shoulder). Couldn't ask for a better dog. We are "sold" on the Akita breed. They originated in Japan - where only the Emperor & "royalty" could own them. Bred to hunt bear & deer in their northern prefect (Akita Prefect). Very loyal and a good "guard dog" - even w/ children. Look up the movie about an Akita - "Hachi - A Dog's Tale" - staring Richard Gere. Watch it with your kids & grandchildren. Excellent movie for that - all will enjoy. (Cats might not like it! LoL!!)
