i wouldn't worry .....they will come up with a gazillion dollar project to fly somewhere...... ;D in other news ..blondzilla has given me the go head to buy a new 4 wheel atv with a plow...... :o... as long as this new house project goes to contract this month...which would mean no more long walks on highland topher..... ;D :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: of course i have to buy her a new living room set too.... ::) ::) ::) ....


I'll have to build a seat in the jet sled.. ;)they have good info on here about auger/gear racks for a quad--can use the Otter for booze ;D and grub  ;D       that spot on Highland, how far is it from where we fished last year?

One of the local ATV shops had a couple on display this past weekend at the local carnival..not the name brand stuff that you always hear of...for what they wanted for their machines, I could have a helluva boat ;)

if there is a time or date that you would maybe want to "recon" the lake let me know...I'm free most weekends ;)

If not, they will probably have the best equipment there (breaking out my backup rods n such for them to use)

if they are catching fish they have fun....if not, we go out to lunch...and get ice cream ;D  its a win win

Joe
Side by sides are great,I have a Yamaha Rhino ,bought it 5 years ago. a little pricy $9300 .back then.
It's great around the property carry rocks , firewood ,top soil . etc.
It's great for ice fishing too ! and around the nieghbor hood I can carry 5 DRUNKS with the dump body it's easy to unload them lol   ;D :clap: The only problem it won't fit in the back of my F250 have to trailer her.

yepper tim ..i like the side by sides.....just that i wanna pay cash and their pretty pricey.....we use my buddy steves when we fish sandy pond up north....4 of us plus a ton of gear /booze...but 3 1/2 hours of driving thru snow with his ranger on the trailer  is a pain ...2 /3 years ago we got nailed in that 4 ft  feb. weekend snow storm up there ...and trying to get back thru the storm around Syracuse was a #%&@%#! ..couple times the trailer was along side of us..... ;) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: i like the honda atvs...polaris ...might even look at the yamaha grizzly....400 or 450 will do i think..... :-\

Joe I'm with you I turned the big 50 this year ,,,, not being lazy but if I can drive , carry gear , beer , and a buddy that's the way I go :thumbsup:
When we go ice fishing there are plenty of 4 wheelers anyway so if I don't bring mine I hook up my sled to the hitch and hold on  ;D and try not to spill my beer lol :whistle: :clap:

Topher;  We have done things like that!! 
Not on ski's but on ice sleds..  It's amazing what can happen on the ice when the bite stops the BBQ is going and the beer is tasting GOOOOOD and we get bored,,,and ATV's are involved someone usualy gets banged up one way or another ;D

back in college, we used to go to the mall parking lot with a small front wheel drive car, a round coaster sled, a small tire to fit in the sled, and a tow rope.....we used to have video of it...especially filming out the back window of the car with a cop right on our tail...they never did anything though, it was when the snow storm shut down the city---36" twice in a two week span will do that for ya....but as far as on the ice activities, I'm just getting started-3rd year coming up this season...I'm sure to make some memories like those sooner than later ;D

Well, the boys made out great at the fishing derby today..2 prizes each, with fish caught ranging from a 4.5" perch to a 11.25" bullhead  with several sunfish and perch mixed in between..Also caught was a 3" musky :o so they still are in that lake from many years ago ;D have to remember that for ice season....and we all got a good bit of sunburn today as well....I hope Pooley and Hockey12 make out good on Greenwood, It's a little too warm for the ice up here ;)
