The Chemist Proficient

The Chemist

Posted
Posted

My handle is representative of my education. Have been a chemist for 15+ yrs. Most of those years have been spent in the medical fields. (pharmaceauticals/medical devices). But I am not of the nerd mold by any chance. I do wear lab glasses but they don't have tape across the nose piece. I do wear a lab coat but no pocket protector. I wear my pants so that it is not readily visible what color my socks are, and not many of the shirts in my closet are short sleeved button up plaids.

Hi, I'm Karen-

Born and raised on a farm, I definately grew up spending more time outdoors than I did indoors. Camping, fishing, water skiing, canoeing, ATV's, horses, etc. Like many, I met the wrong guy when I was 17 and left most of my beloved activities behind. Now being 39, single for eight years and having my oldest child graduate, I find myself starving for an outdoor social life.

I was given this HSOforum by a co-worker to check out and feel good about being here. Looking forward to living and learning again.

p.s.- I honestly don't miss the horses.

Back in the mid '90s my son was drafted off the Hastings team to play for Dundas in the playoffs, but college had already started and he never got to accept playing for them. He would have done it in a heartbeat, just to get back at another team in that league...long story about small town ball.

Having not been involved in social activities for a very long time, it was really hard for me to put myself 'out there'; so thank you so much for the warm welcome.

This was a good thing for me to do and I really am looking forward to meeting new people.

I would love to be at the get together and will do everything I can to make it happen.

Again, a BIG THANKS to everyone!

Hey Karen,

I was in your shoes too and took the leap when I saw the get together and told myself that this will be good for me to get out there and meet new people and enjoy their company. It feels good that I am getting to know people on this site and will meet them soon. I know that you will find good people and support here.

Hope

Lisa, Hope, and Shane-

I don't know any of you but by giving me such a great welcome, all of you have already earned a place in my heart.

Sad sad news. My son needed to correct my thoughts about the get together. We are having his graduation party that weekend. I thought it was next weekend. Ergo, I will not be there. How often are there get togethers?

Karen,

You'd be suprised how much you can get to know the folks on here. Then get to a get together and it's like you're already friends. We'll get you out on the boat when I get it back from the shop.

Maja - pretty sure we will be having a Womens ice fishing GTG, and very hopefully, something this fall. There are alot of other GTG's in different areas of the state scattered throughout the year. As things come up they will get plenty of discussion whistle on this forum and other forums. They really are alot of fun and the people and stories are great. - crazy -

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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

      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.
