Predictions for USA? Now that they got embarrassed by Italy a few weeks ago, I think they will hang tough. I see them winning gold, but they will get a good run from some teams. I'd start Duncan, Odom, Marion, Iverson, and LeBron. Dont' know what they'll do but I think Larry Brown ties it all together. They are the favorites so its not much of a prediction. I wouldn't be nervous if Garnett wasn't getting married and he could be there.

Nevermind, Forget all that I guess. They just got smacked by Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico!!!! I'm so mad at everyone who turned down their bids to play for their country. Never has the addage "Never send a boy to do a man's work" made more sense. It's just sickening.

All anyone has to do to beat us is make us shoot threes and collapse on Duncan. He's our only true post. We have no 3 point shooters, no penetrate-to-dish point guards, no hard defenders. We have an athletic young team that doesn't know how to play the smart game that other countries are developing. The US is no longer heads and tails above all other countries, but it certainly doesn't help that we sent these misfits to represent us. Correction, to represent the NBA. There is a distinction-it's all about marketing the new young product. This isn't our country, it's the powerhouse product marketing of the NBA.

Third Place. Kind of sad, let's hope 4 years from now this doesn't happen again. Send the NCAA champs, the NBA champs...Send a team, not a collection of me first players. It's amazing that in 20 years guys care more about themselves than about winning....They don't show the versatility to go out and do what needs doing that the old teams did. What a waste.

      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.
