Dckasten, I live in St. Paul. Big Wade is in Cottage Grove. We fish through the metro and up by forest lake down to Owattana. I'll go anywhere though. I do know where fridly is. Wade and I are heading to Slab Fest on Red this weekend but if you wanna head out after that let me know. You can email me at [email protected]. We also fish with kingfisher a lot. He's like the step son I never really wanted hehehehehe.

Anyway, give me a shout and we'll head out.

What makes me mad is the winter of 1999 and 2000 I paid $0.79 a gallon pretty much all winter long. Marine_Man and I our buddy fished all over that winter. Now that was not that long ago. Makes me mad but what do you do. I haven't been out fishing as much as usual this winter and gas is a large part of that but there are other good reasons too.

Just about had a heart attack tonight when I drove by the local gas station- $3.09, a 12 cent jump since I went to work this morning. Where does it end? These gas companies are making BILLIONS in one quarter of the year, and we are suffering to make ends meet. Makes me sick. The government can't tell me that they can't put a "cap" on gas prices and review it every 5 years and determine whether or not to raise it then. Right now a cap nationwide of $2.50 for 5 years sounds fair.

Zamboni...the gas prices are 1/3 taxes already...so take your 3 dollar gas and the gas companies are only getting 2 dollars...the government is getting 1...

Z - be thankful you don't live in Europe...gas is over 6 dollars a gallon there. We have just been spoiled...especially when gas was under a buck.

Don't expect gas prices to stop coming up until we get to around 4 dollars a gallon...this should be expected in the next few years especially if we elect a socialist in November...

Everyone should just be thankful that you aren't paying 6 like everywhere else in the world.

Nope I won't be thankful we are being sent to the poorhouse. This should make everyone sick! The end of the oil men in the white house is coming to an end. How about 2 dollars for a dozen eggs. 2 years ago these same eggs were 50 cents. The gas is the root of all evil and we are all paying, as the higher ups are on there way to the bank. Do you really think that the men in charge care if gas was 5 dollars a gallon?

So you either have to get on a bike or...

EVERYTHING is expensive because of the price of fuel. Diesel in the trucks that take the goods to the stores has gone up, so trucking companies have raised their prices to compensate, so then in turn the stores have raised their prices.

Earlier you said that the gas companies are "only" making $2 a gallon. Fed tax on a gallon of gas is 18 cents, and state tax is about the same. 36 cents is a far cry from $1. Like I said earlier if a gas cap is enforced the whole country will benefit. The gas companies may not like it, but they have made enough money anyway. Seems like oil barrel prices aren't negotiable, and I think that is insane. If the UAE wants $100 for a barrel of oil, we need to tell them thanks, but I am going to go buy oil from the Arabs who are only charging $80 a barrel- they will change their prices in a hurry. This is getting way off thread topic, so I am going to stop now

      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.
