What's everyone doing to keep themselves entertained during "indoor" season?


I know I have been working alot, and go back to school in January. I'll have to admit I'm kinda excited about it =D

Working and playing in the snow with my Jeep- I'm finding out that a stock Grand Cherokee is pretty capable (talking 'offroading') but it has gotten stuck twice so far. In its defence though it got stuck in a drift that was as tall as the roof. I see it as its got a 'trail rated' badge on the fender so I need to test out how trail rated it really is before I plan upgrades. So far I'm seeing a lift (2-4") and at least 31" tires as well as a brush guard.

Out by Walford (where I live) theres some level b dirt roads outside of town, plus my family owns some land (300 acres) in Amana. If you ever want a 'guide' to show you some fun roads let me know.

I think i got one of the shittiest things to do right now... We are moving again...

from Hiawatha to S.W. Cedar Rapids, it is gonna suck moving in this shit! But i'll have a decent sized garage at this house atleast, 3 stall but it can fit 4 cars side by side if i need to. fenced yard, 3bd, 2bth and basement was flooded so it has new water heater, furnace, central air unit etc...

I live out by the airport on gravel and these roads out here are fucked. If anyone wants to get stuck and will point you in the right direction.

LOL funny you mention that, I got stuck last weekend on Tissel Hollow Rd
I was about 1500 yards from being back on Airport Rd when I encountered a drift that was easily roof high; that's the one that I mentioned getting stuck in (referring to my first post). I knew I couldn't make it through the drift but stopping/3 point turn wasn't an option because of the narrow gravel road and all the drifts. Live and learn I guess.

Well, I heard about that last night for the first time. People forget I don't get text messages. So I hear about things a week late, I was out drinking that night too.

Slow- That sounds like a nice place by the way. I'm still loving my condo and everything I don't have to do cause of it. (mowing, leaves, snow removal)

I was stuck on Tissel Hollow a few nights ago. It's weird being out in the middle of nowhere in the dark and have 2 people in trucks randomly show up to pull me out. Country folk rule. The snow is as tall as the 4 way intersection sign right close to Walford Rd on Tissel Hollow. Madness.
