I wish I could post links here. If I could I'd post Hermann Maier's fall in the 98 Nagano games. I'm sure you could find it in the search engine though. He came back to win 2 golds in the same olympics after that fall.

Gets me fired up to watch the men's downhill on Saturday. And I'm pumped to watch Hockey. Luge, Bobsled, speed skating, freestyle skiing, snowboarding are all fun to watch too.

seriously????? people actually get excited for the winter olympics? I am not bashing or anything I just don't know anyone personally that could give a hoot about the Winter Olympics (hockey yes) let alone any Olympics.....I know in the world as a whole it is a big deal but how big of a deal is it really to the USA?

I'll probably watch a little of everything. I'm not an olympic fan but I enjoy watching things that aren't often seen. The summer games have some absurd competitions, especially the shooting with the really stiff suits. How is that an olympic sport still but baseball no longer will be?

I like a lot of the events - snowboarding, ski jumping, hockey, luge, short track speed skating, etc. The appeal for me is the athletes' love and dedication to their sport. They are not competing for money, just pushing themselves to be the best they can be.

I kind of liked when they made it look like whales going across the floor and spouting water.

On another note, I will scream if it is figure skating every night for the next 16 days. As much as I like the Olympics, this is the sport that drives me to tears in boredom. The winner is usually known before the start, and it is the only sport that has had proven crooked judges in the past Games.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
