Just another reminder.

Run that gas auger!

Top off those flasher batteries!

And if you're really bored, open up that fishhouse and put down those moth balls you forgot to keep the mice from chewing wholes in it!

Also it's a good time to replace or send in your spare ice auger blades to be sharpened. Have a fresh set on hand and a sharp set on the auger ready to burn ice.

Look over the auger, fire it up, inspect it for frayed pull ropes or linkage issues that will haunt you latter on.

If you store your ice electronics in a garage or basement, be sure it is also mouse proof, as they can find ducer cords tasty from time to time.

I just set up my shacks and looked them over and made sure all was clean, and tossed in a few new fresh Bounce sheets to deter any new residents from moving in.

Don't forget the your POP UP portables either, as they are just as susceptible to critter invasions as a sled type portable is.

Make darn sure there is no food, bait, Gulp, beer or pop cans, or anything potentially tasty to mice in your portables..as that is all it takes for them to want to move in.

I suggest a monthly auger test just like they do with the tornado sirens. We could do it the first Thursday of every month at 5:00pm.

If we get enough guys to do it, we would hear a 2-stroke chorus ringing through the neighborhoods like the call of the chickadee in spring. It would be beautiful.

I propose we synchronize this "Power Ice Auger Summer Salute" for....lets say.....the first Saturday in July...07/03/2011....at official Sundown.

That way all the ice augers running at once can cackle majestically in the twighlight, morning the lack there of ice to cut. For all to hear there power and beauty. Anyway that a date about mid summer, more or less.

So...if we use Minneapolis MN as the official sunset point for that "Power Ice Ice Auger Summer Salute Date", it would be at 21:03 hours sharp in 2011.

Run for 1 full minute and then off to silance.

    • 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.
