Please forgive me if there is already a post about this but I couldn't find one.

A member of this forum lost his newborn son a week or so ago.

Lowblazah (Andrew Tesch) who most of the catfish guys here should know from the BPCL lost his 3 month old son David.

I don't know all the details but David was born about the middle of May and it seems that he had health complications immediately. I believe he had a heart problem along with kidney and other complications. David put up a good fight for a while and it appeared to me that he was getting better by what I was reading on Facebook but in the end there just must have been too much stacked against poor little David. The celebration of David's life was last Saturday.

I don't know if Lowblazah is monitoring this forum right now as I know he has much bigger fish to fry but I thought it would be nice if some members here who know Andrew would give him a shout out with some well wishes or prayers. I know he is in my families thoughts and prayers and I'm sorry I never got to know David as I am sure he would have been a great guy just like his dad!

here is an e-mail I just received from Andrew. I hope some of us can help them out with this. I'll be doing what I can.

My wife and I have been presented with an opportunity to walk in the 1st annual congenital heart defect (CHD) awareness walk in Alexandria on Saturday, Sept. 11 in honor of our son David and the many other children that have lost their lives or are struggling with a congenital heart defect. Please consider making a donation in honor of David by supporting our team "Dashing for David". Follow the link below to donate:

Follow this link http://imhwalkforchd.kintera.org/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=430448&u=430448-302822784&e=3701276837 to visit our personal web page and help us in our efforts to support Its My Heart!

Here a few astonishing facts about CHD:

• CHD is the most common of all birth defects with 1 in every 100 children - that's a whopping 40,000 babies every year!

•

• There are presently 35 known heart defects that have been identified.

•

• More children are affect by CHD than Down’s syndrome and spina bifida

•

• Each day 10,830 babies are born in the U.S.; 411 of them have a birth defect -- of those, 87 will be born with a congenital heart defect -- that's more than cerebral palsy (27), sickle cell disease (27), Down Syndrome (12), and oral/facial clefts (11) combined (total of 77). (According to the March of Dimes)

•

• Every 15 minutes a child is born with CHD.

•

• There are twice as many children that die each year from CHD ALL forms of childhood cancer yet funding for pediatric cancer is 5 times higher.

Help me make a difference so that we can eliminate families having to go through what we are going through!

Any news on how this went Dave? It looks like the goal was met. Any word of another one?

Hope LB is hanging in their. Tough deal all around. Thoughts and prayers still going.

Sorry shack, I forgot all about this thread but I don't know how things are going. I maybe need to put a call in to Andrew to see how things are going, just didn;t want to bug him yet.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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

      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.

      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.
