nice perch & northern bug!

Andy went out for northerns this a.m., was going to go with him, but outdoor furnace had an infeed problem . Got up at 2 a.m. and furnace blowing cold air!!! Turns out my top feed auger had a blockage where it drops off into the firebox feed auger...cleaned out the hopper and took off the side panel to access the drop tube...tapped it with a hammer, and whatever was in there let loose and top auger kicked back in and after two hours outside in zero weather..hand feeding the firebox, we started back to normal temp.

Glad it was ok when I was gone on my fishing trip..
