For two days prior, I tossed Cheez-its out from shore, but yesterday the ice was looking much more secure and solid so I ventured out plus its easier to just walk out and spread Cheez-its then tossing them one by one.

At the time I was trying to fix my broken snowblower flat tire what with a snow storm predicted and that green Slime tube repair worked fantastic plus the weather warmed up a lot.

From about 75-feet away, I strongly suspect my neighbor's ice eater, water circulator propeller is sending its water energy along his breakwater and then my shoreline, thinning the ice out front my lot. ....... ha-ha-ha ...... [emoji23] .... Crashing through the ice like that is a good life time lesson to NEVER trust the ice too much plus I was able to quickly change out of my soaking wet shoes, socks, pants, and long underwear.

Cheez-it ...... hello, is this Perry Mason? ...... wells I tell ya Mr Mason ..... just Cheez-it golly gee willikers ..... just Cheez-it! ..... [emoji23]

To toss, or not to toss a Cheez-it ...... this is the case of the 'Tossed Cheez-it' ..... and that is the case! ...... [emoji23]

I just wish the local bald eagles were not so stand off-ish .... unlike the crows and ducks. Those eagles are very weary and maybe do not trust the Cheez-its? Ya know ...... just one salty bite ..... and the eagle would probably be hooked on Cheez-its, too. .... [emoji23]
Maybe you could modify one of those broken down snowblowers into a Cheez-it catapult...just thinking out loud.[emoji6]
