Our lake and the pond finally froze over last week, plowed and resurfaced the ice Friday, hockey games and skating all weekend. Took these shots Sunday after the Bears game, beautiful night, 30deg and light snow! Can't let a little cold weather keep you off the water!! Hollywood, PLBC, M3 and all you other Northern Boy's, get your gear out and let's play some Hockey this weekend!! |

check out this website for ice info. Ice can support alot of weight. Sure people fall in, it is called being a dumba$$. Cars fall in, owned by dumba$$es. |

The shots are on the pond which is only a couple feet at it's deepest point and about 3" thick ice. The lake is also about 3" thick however we wait until it is at least 8" of ice before getting out there where the water is deep, especially with the Quad. I believe 2" of ice will hold several hundred pounds, 4" will hold 1 ton. |

The guy with the fruitiest grin and beat red face.
Or just look for the old guy that is out of breath. All joking aside, he plays more hockey than all of us younger folk combined. |

That's because PLBC is behind on his knees giving him a reach around. |

You guys up there have it made, Hockey in the winter and skiing the rest of the time. No wonder you all are so damn happy.

Ouch, although Hollywood has quite an array of "Pink" clothing, Pink Pants in the picture is actually my daughter Maddie. We will leave Todicus guessing on the other identities, that is until he show's up for Green Lake this summer!! |

Jbear, MM, etc.,
I'm planning to be back down there Saturday 2/17. Anyone gonna be around so we can enjoy our continued non-stop year round action? Planning to take in the Daytona truck race Friday nite and then the 500 on Sunday leaving Sat open. It won't be too hot for some boating will it? |

We will be around as far as I know and would really enjoy seeing you guys again. Of course it will be good to put a boat in the water. Maybe we should plan a "meet" for that day. We could get MM, Blondie, heath, Backfoot, tonydjd, hasbeen and/or anyone else to meet for the day. How about it guys? I have already met Reid and his wife and believe me you won't be disappointed when you get to meet them.

It's not a contest, if it is though "i'll stomp your a$$" . I've been on a jbear kick lately with the Beam and Coke, Early Times if we're talking boat show. |

You must be sitting at your computer....would think that a nice looking young man(mrs jbears words-not mine) would have a better way to spend his evenings.
Anyhow...you will love the Orlando Reunion. We are gonna get something goin' for C/Cfers. If ya need a place to stay or a pick-up at the airport you can let us know. It is awful early to plan. Cool, I might get to see ya at Orlando and Norris. john |

Well said........... Just messin'; I'm not suicidal. I will leave it to you studs on the ESPN Pro Drinking Tour to stomp a$$. I'm just a fan, wondering why once I got married and had kids, my wife yanked me off the tour, just when I was peaking. |

Quinner- our lake froze up real solid last week (about 5 inches of ice).We had big brush fire on the ice and shoveled a nice ice rink. Love the winters on the lake too! great time to fix or build a new dock... Enjoy -Brad |

Is that Like "delicious" ? I am planning on making it to GL this year. I'll be flying in, so I won't be able to bring my boat. Hopefully someone can give me a lift to the sandbar where the midwest gang is partying. Should be lot's of fun........... |
