5 of us were tip up fishing a medium-sized lake in January a few years ago. One of our group was mostly along for the ride and wasn't really doing much fishing. He'd had a huge breakfast that morning and was just hanging around talking and drinking coffee. Pretty soon he asked where a bathroom was and we pointed toward a block structure about 1/3 mile away back on shore. He mumbled about the distance and I heard him say something about waiting...

Eventually he gave in and headed for shore. He was hurrying and looked uncomfortable. About 1/4 mile from us he suddenly stopped and began frantically yanking his Carhartt coveralls off. We all moaned and groaned when he shucked his pants down right there in the open. Thankfully he was a long ways from us. He stayed busy there, squatted on the ice for some time. With no toilet paper, he still needed to get to the bathroom...

He finally stood up and pulled up his pants. We yelled a couple jokes at him and he waved a 'number one' back at us. Just as he started to pull his coveralls back on he slipped. A quick shuffle-dance and down he went...plop!..right into the goodies. Lord, did we howl then. A most memorable day indeed.

Poor guy had to strip down for the ride home too!

30 plus years ago a buddy and I spent a Friday imbibing in the brew until closing. Way too early (later that morning) we were out in the pond for some AM duck hunting. Well, the hops didn't really agree with his earlier meals and decided they wanted out...NOW!!! He ran into the cattails, dropped his chestwaders and was moaning with relief when all of a sudden he started cussing a blue streak. Pretty soon he gets back to the "deeper water" and I asked him what happened. Seems in his hurry, he didn't drop the waders far enough, made his "deposit" into them, when he pulled them up, he felt the cold on his back and discovered his error of his ways. Following that, his nickname became "Stinky". On the bright side, He cut back his pre-hunt drinking for quite some time!!! We laughed about that until last February. Lost 1 heck of a FRIEND! Cherish the moments! Laugh WITH your friends, time goes WAY TOO FAST, and you don't really miss them til they're gone! Phred52

Last autumn I was fishing with some friends on the Brule River in Northern WI. We were fly fishing for steelhead. I was casting a #4 sized fly across the river and letting it swing downstream with the current. One of my casts was a bit too long, and my fly landed in some streamside brush. The fly wasn't tangled, but just draped over a branch. So I tightened the slack up out of the line, and jerked it so the fly would pop up over the branch. The fly came rocketing back across the stream, went up my nose, and was impaled there beyond the barb.

Since you can't really see the end of your nose very well, I couldn't quite see how things were situated. So I went and found a friend, who took the picture below. I wasn't very interested in going to a hosptial back in Superior, so he put a hemostat on the fly for me, and I held my nose with one hand and yanked sharply with the other. The fly came out. My nose bled some, and swelled up a little, but suprisingly was not very painful. I was back fishing within 15 minutes. It was a good lesson though about wearing eye protection. A few inches higher, even though I wear eyeglasses, could have been a serious problem if the fly found it's way in around the glasses. It did, after all, find it's way up my nose. Now I always wear a pair of Cocoon "fit over" glasses over my eyeglasses.

With all the college kids I see with their nose pierced you probably should have went to a dance club somewhere. You probably could have started a new trend! Ha Ha! Maybe got some kickbacks from the lure manufacturers in the process!

    • 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.
