Hey Jake, I didn't see your uncle at the show yesterday. Everything cool with him?

Actually no, his 4-5 year old grandson went through the ice on some lake up in Libby a couple weeks ago and didn't make it

Bad deal.

 

[Sport Faller]

yeah, that's about as rough as it gets, from what I heard he walked over where a spring was coming up and the ice was real thin, I did that myself once but I was 17

Dude, I didn't realize that was your Unc's grandson! I saw that story on the news. . . Very sad.

One year, me and my buddy Jesse did that on Ashley Lake. We didn't know there were a bunch of springs on the East side of the lake, and we saw some old ice holes out there.

We got out there with the sled full of gear, and soon realized we were on about 1" or less of ice! :msp_scared:

I yelled for Jesse to stay away from me, as we were over 500 pound combined. . . The ice started to sound and crack, and we both hit the ice and spread eagle. . . We belly crawled off.

My butt still puckers thinking about it, we would have been screwed bad. . . Nobody else was around, and if we went in, I think we wouldn't have came back out.

Prolly so mang, I went through the ice at McWineggar slough over a spring, the funny thing was someone had drilled a hole right next to it but must've not walked around that side of the hole luckily for me the water was only about 4 1/2' deep so I kinda fell through and had my neck and head sticking up out of the ice like an otter or something :msp_biggrin:

Sheesh, that's still spooky -- even if it was shallow! And I bet your were a cold panda!

Oh man, that was soooo cold, I'm pretty sure I was screaming my head off too :msp_tongue:

I dove into Bitterroot while there were still ice chunks floating on it.


Not gonna do that again!

What kind of bet/triple dog dare was on that one?

 

[Metals406]

What kind of bet/triple dog dare was on that one?

We were all in 6th grade. . . So it didn't take much daring by the herd to get a few of us in. They just had to insult our machismo a little and it was on like Donkey Kong!

 

[slowp]

What's happening?

I suggest a "crafting" class decorating wedges. I chose to use a pink one and a blue one yesterday.

Hello Montana, and all my friends in here. Checking in on ya!:msp_thumbup:

 

[Metals406]

Bob sent me a PM, he's now been selected for Jury Duty, and won't be able to make the GTG this year.

We'll just have to do a good job with pictures and video so he can feel like he was there. :msp_thumbsup:

Bob needs to write them back a letter saying he is going to GTG School in MT :hmm3grin2orange:, educational deferment, ya know?

Ain't nothing worse than sitting in a court room and then deliberating with your "peers".

Two years after I moved from TX to WI I got a jury notice from Dallas. Never could figure out how they were smart enough to have my WI address but not smart enough to figure out I was no longer in their jury pool.

Will do Sam. . . Grizz Camp is North of Bigfork, and up the back way to Echo Lake (LaBrant Rd).

Got it, thanks - Sam

Bump it up, how does Bob think the court system is going to find him in MT, everyone comes here to hide. ####, if a guy goes a couple miles up the Canyon it's like he was never born
