My advice is... Enjoy the season you have, even as you look forward to the one in the future.

That being said, I usually daydream about ice fishing during the sunny 95 degree days with 99.97% humidity.

I think about ice fishing all the time....I generally only get to go once or twice a year! Try that on for size! lol

Since our heat index has been up around 110 lately....I think about it even more!

We may have the same affliction.

I was just hanging out with my 5 year-old son today. My auger had failed to start about a month ago for unknown reasons. I still don't know why I was messing around with it in May. crazy

Anyway, we decided to make a run up to StrikeMaster before lunch. The guys there took it in the back and had it running in about 30 seconds. Apparently, the diaphragm was stuck. We all had a good laugh about the quick fix then they showed me how to remedy it... should it happen again.

Maybe they were just laughing about my potential insanity. After all, what's a guy need an ice auger for this time of year. The boys were grilling in the shop today and were nice enough to offer us a couple of burgers. These guys can even cook... quite well I might add.

I had a brief moment of weakness after the burgers and bought a new 10" auger drill. After all, size does matter and the 8" Lazer drill I had at home just didn't seem adequate anymore.

Definitely, first-class guys up there, fellas.

Now, about this sickness I seem to have...

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
