Ol Blade Runner they call me!!!
Hey Chris,
Should be Blade Ruiner. Yeah, no exageration on your friends part. It was probably more like 12 minutes. Would have been faster burning a hole in the ice with a bic lighter. Have had that ol Eskimo auger for 23 years and bought it used. Starts on the 1st pull all the time and I put new blades on it when I bought it .....23 yrs ago. Have no clue what the hell happened to it , it worked just fine a few days earlier . I think it was just some really hard ice. LOL!!!
Might have to break down and get a new blade and sharpen my point.
Years ago when I lived in Wi. , we saw a guy trying to drill a hole for what seemed like forever and finally gave up. We went over to see if he wanted to borrow our auger and he was real thankfull and explained it was his first time ice fishing and didn't know what was wrong with his new auger. I didn't even look at his auger . While I'm showing the guy how mine works , my fishin buddy looks like he's having a seizure laughing his ass off. Finally he points to the guys auger and I see he still had the blade cover on. I laughed so hard I think I pooped a little.
Anyways , thanks for the offer , but it's an Eskimo. Sorry your friend had to watch that. I was wondering how things were going on the east bank. You didn't miss much. Later!!!
Slammer!!!
