Default Ice Jump

Just to let you all know, the crews were skimming ice off the top about every 3-4 minutes. The wind chill was between 0 and 5 above. I was #63 of 158 jumpers. They started about an hour late. The wind picked up just before the jumpers began.

The newspaper printed last years figures wrong. There were 115 jumpers and they raised $15,300. This years total was $18,000. It's all for a worthy cause.

Steve,

You look like you're waiting for blonde to come up out of that cold water. On a cloudy day like that, "high-beams" are a good thing!

I was really wondering why you did this until I saw all the good looking women who must have jumped in first

There's not too many places I won't go if there's a good looking woman involved, but........

Doesn' t everything kind a shrivel up and become useless at that tempurature?

Yes, the highbeams WERE on. It takes the hottub to turn them off. Last year a set of puppies got loose. She should have tied the leash a little tighter.

It took me a week to find everything I lost. For two days I had to jamb my thumb up my butt and holler "SNAKE!", just to go wizz.

Steve,

Ice is something we put in drinks down here! Didn't know people played in it.

With those ropes around their waists, it looked like that old Southern sport, trolling with Yankees.
