"Well those descent rigs should be frozen up/water logged real well about now.

Just image what we have to look forward to this summer! }When they hook on to them and plug up the launch ramps and heaven to forbid they get them started, and get 2 3 miles out on the lake and they quit and wonder why. Then expect us to pull them in."
