I actually had "fish fry" at the old "chicken steak and chocolate cake" (aka Johns) which is now the Blue Moon. Anyway, the dam below Dresback is open and there are some ships running. Everything above is frozen still from the reports I received.

Shiner, Rockies is king.....I have looked high and low, and nothing compares to the circular bar, table top pac man machine, standing room only, constant gun raffle for the fire department,and people in cut offs to sunday best waiting for a table to gorge themselves. I met my brother there one night at 9:00 pm, he drove from Chicago.....where is the blue moon by chance, not that I would forgo Rockies, but I like to have back up plan.....Did you hit the bodega though???? "The Wheel of Beer" is the best deal in LaX.

Wade, I grew up in NE IA, Waukon to be exact, taught for two years in Lansing, moved up to the metro area, got married, have two kids, and have been trying to figure out how to get back to that part of the country ever since.....Washed dishes at Rockies, man, your are a GOD!!!! (okay not really, but I am envious)

Oh yeah, and Duane W, my dad is from Preston, My great great great grandfather Jerome Utley established the town of Carimoni which is no longer there.....

It's on 2nd Ave. N. in Onalaska across from the giant Sunfish.....never been to rockies but I hear good things (ie. cheese curds as big as your head). We did not make it to the Bodega tonight, but I do enjoy that bar.

I'll go you one better picks. I Went to DeSoto High school. The owner of Rockies is a family freind. I graduated in 82, joined the navy, left for 20 years then came back. Then was offered more money to transfer to Duluth with the company I work for, so I moved up here.

I have eaten my weight in fri nght fish there at least ten times over thru the years. The cheese curds are excellent. Next time your there, try the "Bluefish" its awsome. Oh yeah, and tell Janie, the Hostess that Wade says Hi.

      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.

      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.
