The boys did great! Cody was solid on most of his events and would have made the board on the Swim to Win if he had made his 2nd time on the 1st run! Today was Mac's day though: Mac was 3rd for the dock jump when we left with 22 feet. He was the leader for a while on the decoys-decoys-decoys with just over 15 seconds. He was the leader on the Swim To Win retrieve for the better part of the day with :58 seconds. A smaller black lab took the lead with :57 seconds. So we had to have him respond to that, which he did with :56 seconds. And then a springer came in and took the lead with :53 seconds at which point we decided to hang it up for the day. Oh well, there's always next year!

every time I mention my company I get reminded I'm not a sponsor of FM (hopefully budget will allow soon) , so it gets removed. My dad and I work the booth, we have matching logos on the hats and shirts, again, next door the the ammo company, and just kitty corner from Steve Carney and his nice boat. Its a firearm industry booth, not the pawn shop though.

Our yellow lab "Tallie" tried the "Swim to Win" event first thing last Saturday morning. jwhawkridge - your dog was already on the board with 0.58 seconds. Tallie went out strong when I sent her but she lost track of the duck and I called her in and sent her again. Her score was 2:02 covering the distance almost twice. The rest of the day I was wondering what her score would have been if she would have made a good mark and clean retrieve the first time I sent her. We went back later in the day and saw the springer take the lead with 0.53 seconds. It just didn't seem right having a springer leading a water event. I wanted to go as it had been a long day and standing in long lines for these events isn't a relaxing thing with "Tallie" as she gets pretty amped up and "whiney" watching the other dogs run before her. My wife wanted Tallie to try the Swim to Win one more time and I told her sure as long as she stood in line and handled "Tallie". Well my wife took me up on that and after a long wait in line came to the line with me by her side. She sent Tallie who this time made a good mark on the duck. When I realized Tallie was having a good run I began cheering Tallie on but my wife turned around and "shushed" me saying she was the one who stood in line this time and she was handling the dog. I then stood by quietly while "Tallie" crossed the line at 0.52 seconds taking the lead. We stayed around the rest of the day and ended up winning the Swim To Win on Saturday. We received our 40 pound bag of Eukanuba and 2 free passes to run in the finals this Sunday afternoon which we are going to try come down and attend.

Tallie also did good on the decoys-decoys-decoys with 16.4 seconds and OK on the other events. She only reaches out 15 feet on the dock jumping though - I think she is too big to compete with smaller dogs on that.

Game Fair is a fun family event and gave Tallie her 15 minutes of fame!

Tallie ended up 2nd overall in the Swim to Win. 1st place went to a black lab from St. Louis Missouri

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
