SMOKING HOOKSET!! OUCH


toonfish

Recommended Posts

Was out last night with my brother doing some crappie fishing. My bother was working a fish on the Vex. Got a bite.......set the hook........and while setting the hook knocked his cigarette out of his mouth.....the cigarette fell straight down the front of his Carhart Bibs.....My brother continued to fight the fish to the hole while leaning forward and yelling as the cigarette got hotter and hotter inside of his bibs.....He was trying to tell me what was going on as he was fighting the fish and getting burned by his cigarette, but kept whimperring from the pain. So he gets the nicest crappie of the night inside the hole and holds it there whith one hand as he unzips his bibs with the other and dumps the cigarette out the front and on to the floor. Finally he settles down for a split second, bends down to grab the crappie and with one kick of its tail it shakes itself loose flops in the hole and swims away. smile.gif I should have grabbed it for him but I was laughing too hard.

One time I was running a grinder at work, just grinding away on some steel, and I started smelling something, looked down and my flannel shirt and my t-shirt under it were on fire. Left a nice scar on my belly, and singed my hair- that hurt a tad! I bet your brother will never forget that! crazy.gif

There was a story several years ago on this forum about a man who was cutting a hole with a power auger and smelled flesh burning. At the same time, he felt a burning sensation on his belly. He ended up describing the rest of the situation as the auger turned wildly, hitting him in the head as he went to his knees, then in the nether regions as he straightened out after getting hit in the head. This went on for some time. I sure wish I could find that story again. Anybody know where it's at? I still tear up laughing, knowing that the guy was okay in the end, of course.

Kind of reminds me the time my one buddy decided to try and tighten the screw on top of the propane lantern.(after the lantern had been lit for 2 hours). Needless to say he received a good burn on his thumb and forefinger. To soothe the pain he was soaking his thumb in one of the holes we had drilled inside the shack. My other buddy then states the classic line "Hey, get your thumb out of my ice hole" We laughed for hours...

Ive got one on a different line. My sink drain was plugged up one day and I tried to plunger it to no avail so I got to thinkin that maybe theres somthing plugeed in the goose neck, so I crawl under the sink and start to loosen the sleeve, WOOSH out comes all the water from the sink above,completely soaking me. I have never felt like such a dumb ###.My wife says "maybe you should have drained the sink 1st"....Yea good idea honey, where were ya a minute ago. confused.gif

    • 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.
