I'd like to see the diamond mines those guys are truckin' to. I wonder how much those employees are making...and if any women work there. (Ah.. what a dream..working in a diamond mine!)

Whatever we are doing, we have to be home by 9pm on Sunday nights so my hubby can watch the ice trucking. I'm kind of hooked also now. My hubby just bought a brand new Kenworth and new tanker. I told him to get it winterized and he's doing it. lol They make very good money in a couple months is right. It looks so dangerous though. I can't imagine ever being that cold. It is amazing and interesting to watch. Those guys are definetly a different breed of truckers.
A week or so ago, I lost the diamond out of my wedding ring. I told him to get that truck ready and go to that mine to get me another one. I won't be happy till it comes from that diamond mine. lol

We were watching that show the other night. It's an interesting job -- like the king crab fishermen show -- not for me. I like heat (but not humidity).

It only looks like "fun" -

They once showed a truck falling through the ice after some kind of mistake. I don't think so.
