20 inch Box Fan

There have been a few reports of a pale orange VW van that has been making the rounds of the lake just before Thanksgiving. They would come up to cabin owners and ask if the owners would like some snow on their lawn for the holiday. Some people thought it was a good idea and for ten dollars this fellow would haul out of the van a air compressor, some garden hose and a 20" box fan. Blowing the water through the box fan with the air compressor and some other tunnel thing he had, I was told it was a hot water heater gutted out, he would spray an inch or so of snow on the ground.

The fan had a Unicorn, Teddy bear and a Kansas City Royals baseball club sticker on it. Using a box fan was not thought of being unusual as this is Lake Iwanttobethere, however everyone who did have some snow made thought it was odd that the Box Fan had a chain running from it to the van. Almost like it was a captive. When I heard this it reminded me of the box fan and the van that I saw in town so many months ago. Perhaps there is a ransom note out there that we have missed? Or one that no one took action on. One more thing, there was mention made about a white tube sock over the trailer ball, it had a carpenters pencil jammed through the top to keep the sock from being blown off. I guess the snow was uneven to as the fan had a missing blade which made the snow thin in some spots.

From what i hear he did not get a commission, but he did get banned from the site. he fishes with a friend of mine and makes jokes on other sites.i believe the fan was responsible for blowing down gas prices and he received a commission for that!

This should have been LOCKED UP looooooong ago! It distracts from the site and keeps me from looking at the FREE page anytime I see this rediculous thread. If the purpose of the site is to get sombody laughed at....keep it going....but if it is really to HELP people....then this thread has NO PLACE ON here.

My first ever post on this site and it absolutely has to be in this thread. First off, has anybody seen the box fan or can locate it? The (Curse Word) guy stole it from me 12 years ago, one blade is broken, I have the other. Must have broke it when pryed out of the window. I had it propped in the window of my VW van, which has since been stolen and never located. Don't care about the van, but huge cash reward for the fan! Also missing a tube sock with hole in. Still looking for a pair of fairly worn silk boxers, has "I'm too sexy for my shorts" printed on them. May or may not have skidmarks. If found please let me know.

I do have some give away items. Was cleaning out the gargage. Found a garbage bag full of "diamonds in the rough" (circa 2005) I'm pretty sure it was from the 4th of July BBQ. Have about 40 disposable plastic, NOT THE CHEAP STYROFOAM, plates with flags on them. Gently used. Some may even have a bit of leftover bbq on them. I'm telling you thats some of the best bbq you will ever taste. Bag also includes used napkins,used sporks (taken from the local KFC) and a bunch of empty crushed beer cans. I think the cans are of the brand Beer 30. Will deliver garbage bag within 250 mile radius. Don't let this deal pass you by!

I thought there was a post about the VW earlier on.

Was the tube sock a left or right sock? wink This time of year, it might be hanging by someones make believe fireplace.

If the boxers were a bright red silk with pink polka dots on them, I saw a goat eating a pair in an abandoned farmplace by LakeIwanttobethere.

Sadly enough, the MN DNR had staged "Operation Cougar Drop" in that area a couple weeks ago (transplanted from Greenbush). I guess the goat has been stealing under-britches and wreaking total havoc and they wanted him destroyed.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
