I am going to northern az in a couple weeks trout fishing. Temps are in high 60's most days elevation of 9000ft. Should be fun except for the altitude headache for the first couple days. Then back to the 110 degree days til our trip to omaha on the 22nd of july then home again for august and then hopefully to leech first part of sept for a week or so. Then Oct brings elk hunting and the holidays. My year is done.

Tank and I fished two streams down in the Catskills today and had a really nice day. Both the Willowemoc and the Little Beaverkill were bank full and anywhere from clear to a tad murky. We fished from about 7 till 3 covering ground and learning the place. He had only fished the Willow once and it was about 40 years ago, and my little foray a few weeks ago was it for me. We landed about 25 trout and missed lost a bunch more. Tank accounted for about 2/3rds of them. Most were 10-12 inch browns, some were smaller native wild brookies and dad got two real nice browns in the 15 inch range...

Not much room to work with and he's in some fast water...

Cali, thanks for the offer Buck is not doing good at all frown.He is still doing circles to the right its been a sad 24hrs for myself.One thing I can say is he is still eating and drinking going to the bathroom.Tommorow morning he will be going to the Vet for a blood check for his Phenobarbital levels I cant watch it much longer its very possible he will have to go down.

Todd, Sorry to hear that Buck isnt doing well. I know its tough but try to think positive. If the worst case theme plays out, Hes had a good life and im sure you have many many fond memories that you will keep for ever.

Ok enough mushy [PoorWordUsage] grin.

Fished Eaton Brook this am from 6:00 till 11:30. Did lots of exploring and I think I may have found the key to some success. Put several walleys in the boat rangeing from 9"-22"... All were released and of course I didnt have my camera and my cell phone was in the truck so no pics. cry sorry!! 3 decent perch and after the waldo bite went away got into many many sunnies and blues in the exact same area confused.. When the sun started warmming things up the boat traffic really picked up so I left the area and just messed around with some sewer perch for the last couple hours..

Over all was a great morning for me. Even got to see some Bikinis cool

It was really a great fishing day down in the catskills. That many fish in mid summer conditions. The creeks were beautifull and a great day spent with Jay.

Todd - praying for the best with Buck.

Saturday was my grandaughters 1st birtday party and today I had a doubleheader to do at 4 - 6 p.m. Got word that our Browns trip will be Oct 25th against Green Bay. Gonna miss Rosa's brother Marc coming up for the weekend, but it's football and I'm sure he will understand. Todd I'll give you a shout tomorrow and will say a prayer for Buck...

Yeah what Doug said confusedconfusedconfused What's up mutha brotha? I have been bustin it this season so far and I got rewarded with my first forfeit game of the season Wednesday night. wink Kinda early but softball players take vacations at this time along with alot of Moms and dads, oh well. Was supposed to go Holland Patent Legion for a 8:15 p.m. last night but the coach got ahold of my scheduler who inturn notified me of the cancellation do to to you guessed it.. Not enough to field a team, game cancelled. I get paid for forfeits and not cancellations and to be completely honest I think I am overpaid for my work.

Todd let's go soon! Took the dog for a ride for a coffee and breakfast sandwich and Peanut got her donut holes. cool I have been up since 6 a.m. and am ready to fish, call me grin

Todd and I fished hard today looking for about anything to pull on the lines and we didn't fair to well a few silver bass a few perch, a smallie and a couple of walleye's and only one keeper. The weather was rough and my back to a beating. Took a percoset and a heating pad to make my back feel a bit better. One thing I learned was Todds super glue did the trick when a walleye sliced a 2" gash down the inside of my left thumb. I applied pressure and dried the area and then put crazy glue along the gash and Viola it did the trick. Thanks Todd.

Met Steve and Tom at Steve's camp on the canal and had a nice peer with the boys. Hope they do a bit better fishing tonight because after 8 hours in the boat with todd I will need a day to recoup. Can't remeber if I ever fished in roller like that today. Had a great time with the guys as usual. Looking forward to hearing from Jay's trip up to Rob's camp.

Heading to Lee Center Field days around noon tomorrow to take Amanda on a few rides and watch my buddy Kevin play softball.

Chris...Let's put your trail camera at Daryl's. I would like to have us focus on the 150 acres at my house. I have been watching 2 velvet 10's across the street almost every night. They are going back and forth from my property and the Forever Wild property accross the street. I think they are the same ones from last year, as no one in my area shot anything big last year.

You might be able to get a used bow or a good priced new one at AJ's. I will be over there today. I have been hanging out with Allies husband Chris. They bought the horse farm next door. We have been stalking Woodchucks with the bows. 3 confirmed so far wink

I'll call you tonight!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
