Any other white trash addicted to this series on the History Channel? This one should be right up your alley, CP. You'd like the characters.
It focuses on a group of big rig drivers in northern Canada...for a few months each year, the lakes freeze over enough (about 3' thick) to create a road for heavy transport to the diamond mines. There are guys up there hauling up to 100K lbs on the ice - you can hear the ice cracking as they drive over it, and trucks have fallen through. They can only drive 20 MPH or the weight/motion of the truck causes a huge wave under the ice which will eventually bust through. Pretty cool. The guys earn a lot for it - a year's worth of pay in a few months.
Anyways, 9 PM Central time on Sunday nights. Someone (Drew or TJ) supposedly dies next week.

Hooked.
Ditto, along with my 3-yr old. He drives his trike around the house, saying "I'm off for a couple of days. Gotta hit the ice road."

That's one thing I don't get about these guys. Maybe they don't have any money, but why not have stuff like this?:

It's always Hugh's trucks that are messed up. The guy acts like he's the shizzle but he runs crappy equipment.
I like Alex. :) Jay too - he runs the big stuff.

About the same. The narrator is the guy that did Monster Garage and such instead of Mike Rowe, tho.
I like Mike.

one of my favorite shows is Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe...that show cracks me up!
He's doing well for himself I see with some Ford commercials and narrates a ton of shows.

I like Mike Rowe too he is great. Adam told me once that he sang Opera as well.
Whelp, I saw one of them tewnite, there were 3 on. I saw the one where TJ Tillcox wrecked that guys rig and that poor skinny yellow haired gentleman got kicked out. Very interesting all around.:D
I recorded the others, I couldn't give up my HBO Sunday. I will catch up so don't say who died yet.
I missed the first episode of freaking Shark Week tho!:rant:

Bummed about the hype. Grrr....

I thought TJ's appendix was going to burst or something similar.
