Sure glad ur OK.... Good thing you were close to the truck

years back I was blasting back and forth over a flooded field on my snowmobile.... about pass 8 the drive belt got wet and she sank in the middle.... I had busted all the ice in passes 1-3... when it hit bottom I was standing on the handle bars and hood with my ankles in the water..... After a few minutes I decided to remove my pants and put my shoes back on for the 500' waste deep walk back to dry land..... then I wiped as much water off as I could, put my pants back on and squeezed what I could from my boots... THEN I got to walk about 5 miles home in deep snow.... NOT fun. Thankfully I was in my late teens or early 20's then ..... I'm not certain I'd make it as easily now.

I stumbled several times but had I fallen and got my coat and pants wet I doubt I would have survived the walk back...... Looking back....ummmm... yeah that whole snowmobile over water that far from help by myself in that cold of weather..... not my brightest moment.
