"The pros never, ever do that, because it melts too much of the ice cream and then you get your ice crystal problem when you put it back in the freezer. Cold water only. |

Theres a bombing range in south central Florida at Avon Park. Friend of mine was fishing near there and could hear a couple warthogs destroying something. He said they flew up over the lake he was on and pretty itimidating. He said the noise of the shooting was something he wouldnt forget! We stay about 10 miles south and the jets must turn over us. You can hear them but never see them. I dont know if they are too high or already gone by the time we hear it but sounds like they are really moving
