The other night

I need to practice what I preach. The other night, Jon and Jeremy stopped over at the house and wanted to run up for some food. I relunctly agreed, because its never just go get food and come back. They want to stay out late and ride everywhere and of course when you get a little older sleep becomes more of a priority. We argued where to eat for about 20 minutes and then we decided. We almost made it to town and I blew a belt. No problem right? well I did not have an extra one (I know its rediculous) the service manager at Spicers Boat city who does not carry an extra belt, thats bad. I have had this discussion with many customers as to why you carry an extra belt. I have been chastized by all the staff for this since. Fortunately Jon had an extra Polaris Belt that worked. After we ate we headed for home and with all the blowing snow we kind of lost our since of direction, Jeremy was leading the next thing I know we are crossing open water. WOW that is a rush that I dont want to experience again. It was about 100 feet wide, I just pressed the throttle and we were out of it. I think I did something in my pants. The moral of the story is dont let Jeremy Lead, just kidding. Seriously, pay attention to your surroundings, its very easy to get turned around out on the ice. We live here and still get turned around. The weather can change in minutes. Its sunday and we are riding again after work. I do have an extra belt now. ITS TIME TO RIDE!!!! Bob, jon and Jeremy
