JEOPARDY! i dont normally watch it, but i am very intrigued and interested in the outcome. its a very advanced supercomputer that has incredible human like logic, thanks to 7 algorithms that run simultaneously to find the correct answer.

We set up in front of the camp and keep an eye on flags from there or we go a couple of lakes over to use my cousins shack. He has a radio and wood stove. There is always a bunch of snowmobiles and trucks around it on the weekend. We usuall spend the time drag racing the lake.

What kind of snowmobile do you have? I was on a lake the other day on mine, usually not to fond of them but i had to cross it. it was kind of reassuring when there were two pickup trucks parked on the ice lol

Miles, depending on what the guys that drive the trucks look like, I wouldn't bet my life on it, haha.

I hate crossing lakes even if im going 70 mph, but i wasnt about to turn around when i just rode 3.5 hours. i have heard too many stories about people falling through. same night 30 minutes later some guy fell through the same lake and somehow lived, i dont think they have found his sled yet

We have an old ski doo skandic and an even older arctic cat panther that we use for ice fishing. I sold my sled a couple of years ago, but hope to get another one in the next year or so. For now I use one of my family members. Usually my cousins spare sled but its set up for drag racing so it's not the best on the trail.

I don't have any sleds, no use for one IMO but I would love to get myself another ATV... but this time a KTM. I had a Bombardier.

Still sitting here.. anxious for my truck to come in. Apparently it's getting to the dealer tomorrow. I've seen them in blue, and nicer crew cabs in black, but have yet to see this truck... I'm debating on waiting until Friday or going to visit it early!

We drive our trucks on the ice but no the area really good. I hate riding on lakes I am not familiar with, especially at night. I have known people that have gone through but made it. I used to run open areas on the river and the narrow part of the lake. It's not bad if you have a sled with a lot of power, probably at least a 700. just don't hesitate, if you feel your self going through pin it!
