As I was driving across the bridge on my way to put my pontoon boat in
storage for the Winter, this last Saturday, I looked upstream and saw two
guys on their jetskis wearing Parkas with hoods. I mean this is Northern
Illinois, and two weeks ago the water in the river was already down to 59.
Some people just have no common sense. But then, I remember way back when I
was a young man, I used to put my snowmobile suit on and take my motorcycle
for a run on New Years day just to give the neighbors something to talk
about.

It's much to early in the morning and my eyes haven't had time to wake
up.

I parsed the title of this post as "Jet ski and Polka"... :)

Anyway...

Snowmobiles eh? Well, I rebuilt one in the early seventies - a Artic
something or other, redid the engine, fixed the ski thingies on the
front, new seat covers and a fancy new snow suit to keep me warm.

Took the thing out on Webster Lake and promptly sunk it and me in the
Narrows between the North and South ponds. The Narrows wasn't that
deep along the sides where we were riding - maybe three feet, but I
got wet, had to have the thing chopped out the next day, brought it
home and promptly sold it. Apparently the snow/ice slush was
disturbed enough to sink me.

I hate snowmobiles.

Yeah, it was the snowmobile's fault that you went out on ice too thin
to hold you up, huh?
