We layed Jason to rest next to his sister who passed away 11 months ago. Jasons funeral was on Wednsday. He was obviously well known and liked as the church was totally full into the halls and social meeting area. Folks were literaly parked blocks away. Was the largest funeral I have seen. It gives us some peace in knowing he is with his sister and brother once again. It is so difficult today as last week on Thursday we were calling each other every hour or so checking to make sure we had everything we needed for the fishing trip, and razzing each other about who would out fish who. He always made fishing a contest. LOL. Always betting on first, biggest, most and yes, even the least amount of fish. We left last week on Thursday night around 10;00 pm for S.D. We were on the ice fishing by this time last week. I would have never in my wildest dreams thought it would end this way. I am truely missing my fishing buddy today. There is an emptyness in my heart that feels like it will never go away. I know the emptyness will be replaced one day with fond memories of Jason. One final note is Jason did in fact out fish the rest of us with the largest and most fish for the weekend. Thanks for the prayers

Dear Jason Witt's Uncle,

My name is Heesuk Bang from South Korea and I was a student at McKinley Elementary School in Fargo, ND from 1981 to 1982. I had a friend named Jason Witt at that time and I happen to find your post while searching internet to find my friend Jason’s contact point. I am not sure whether your nephew is the same Jason Witt whom I am looking for.

I would highly appreciate if you check whether your nephew was a formal student at McKinley Elementary School. I lived in Fargo for 2 years because of my father’s graduate school study at NDSU and returned back to Korea. Recently, I was very shocked when I saw a tragic article about a person named Jason Witt who lived in North Dakota. I am praying that this is not my friend Jason. However, age and his picture in the article are similar to my friend Jason.

Jason was my best friend, actually, my only friend while I was staying in the US. I really want to meet him and if your nephew happens to be my friend Jason, I want to do something for his family.

Regards,

Heesuk (HS) Bang

    • 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.
