CANCELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY TODAY, MOST OF THEM IN NORTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA. HERE’S A WAY TO MAKE THE BEST OF WINTER AN ICE CAROUSEL. JAMES AND BOB PIKE SPENT HOURS CARVING IT INTO A POND USING CHAINSAWS ATTACHED TO A MOTOR TO HELP IT SPIN AND JUST LOOK AT IT GO. THEY WERE INSPIRED BY SOMETHING SIMILAR IN A YOUTUBE VIDEO, AND THEY INVITED FRIENDS AND FAMILY OVER TO ENJOY IT. THERE IS A SPRINKLER IN THIS POND THAT WE WERE. WE COULDN’T FIND, SO WE HAD TO WATCH WHERE WE CUT OUR HOLES AND WE HAD TO DO SOME STUPID MATH TO FIGURE OUT HOW BIG A CHUNK WE COULD GET. BUT IT WORKED. WE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT ITS CAPACITY HOLDING WAS, SO WE STILL GOT MORE PEOPLE TO PILE ON AND WE AIN’T SUNK IN YET. WELL, WE CHECKED OUT BOB’S FACEBOOK PAGE A LITTLE WHILE AGO.
