mrth0201,

Stay away from the typical Valentines stuff like chocolates and roses. Roses are way too overpriced.

You said you don't want to spend a lot so that pretty much excludes jewelry.

I don't know about your gal, but if she's like mine then she'd love it if you cooked dinner and set a nice table with candles and that fancy stuff. Get a bottle of her favorite wine and give her a card and a small (but creative) gift.

Women just love anything that you put a lot of effort into, it doens't have to cost a lot. Maybe give her a massage afterward....

Give her the day off. They like that. Be her personal servent. Dinner, draw her a nice hot bubble bath and just pamper her. REMEMBER A CARD!!! a mushy one is best. All in all it does work because eventually by the end of the night(after a bottle of nice wine) she will be snuggled up and then Daddy gets his Valentine. Best thing is you might not have to beg to go fishing the next time. Just my two cents worth anyway.

Don't tell my wife this, but what a stupid holiday! blush.gif OK, I'm a little bitter because she doesn't want me to go to URL in a couple weeks. Oh well, it will save me a little money because she ain't getting nothing this year. tongue.gif

Do what you did in school when you were like 6 years old...get out the construction paper, glue, crayons, etc and make her a card. Seriously, it sounds stupid and cheesy but for some reason the gals love it.

I bought my wife a week-end without me. There is a retreat resort near Pine City that she likes to go to. So next weekend she will spend Thur thru Sun there. Her quote was; "this is the most thoughtful gift you've ever given me." I reminded her about the caret and half diamond she has on her finger. She said that was a good one as well.

I'm not sure what the rest of the wives that read this will think but I don't celebrate V-Day or the Wisconsin equivalent called "sweetest day". I send my wife flowers on (fill in the non important day of the week here) "JUST BECAUSE. Her co workers and classmates are so jealous of her because she gets flowers at work all the time and they don't. This makes her feel special MANY times a year rather than on a day where it's expected. I know I might be a nasty person for not getting anything on Vday for my wife but she knows how I think and she agrees. So for valentines day we greet eachother with a hug and a kiss and say the words and that's about it. But then perhaps a week or a month later then the flowers will arrive at work for her and perhaps a one hour massage. WORKS EVERY TIME!!! Good luck boys.

I found out years ago that flowers are worth their weight in gold!!! I've been married 18 years and have gotten her flowers every Valentines Day, delivered at work so that her co-workers are envious. Not roses though (that would be like buying a snowblower after a snowstorm), just a nice bouquet. Then I'll buy flowers once or twice a year just to surprise her. For Valentines Day, I'll also get her a nice, mushy card, and we'll plan a nice meal together, either at home or out somewhere.

Wow--I had no idea there were so many "Romantics" on this site! It must be the mother of necessity that makes an outdoorsman a true romantic!

I gave my wife last Saturday off and I took the kids; I finished the second coat of new paint on the entry hallway up the stairs and down to the end of the hallway on the 2nd floor yesterday--man do they love it when you "fluff" their nest!

I finished her off last night with her favorite Pheasant Marsala dinner at home. I now have my pass signed for the next and last hard water run on the 25th.

      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.
