The first time my wife to be visited my parents, the lady from the local rag called. Mom told the lady my wife to be's maiden name and where she was from. My wife asked, what was that about?

I told her that her name would be in next weeks paper and that she was a guest at my parents. She couldn't believe it.

My mom grew up in Sisseton SD. Each year, 1 or 2 times we get up there to see the family.

I always have to sit down and read the local paper, to see who went to who's house for dinner, who's kid came in from out of state to visit.......

Double trouble, The one and only! Grew up 2 miles from there, graduated Wabasso in 87. I would assume you are some time after that. Probibly met your dad? In the 80's I hauled lots of grain there. Just I don't remember all the names.

Growing up in a small town we always reffered to the local law enforcement by their first names. Weather it was the city police, county deputy sheriff or the state patrol they were known by their first name and every one with earshot knew who you were talking about.

I have to admit all of these are true. Brings back memories of growing up. The part about the snooty town is not true, Decorah is still a snooty town. And the bit about the stop light? Our town has the only stop light in the county......

What about getting pulled over by the local police and they refer to "you" by your first name first name!! Or when your town has a prade, the whole town shuts down and watches!

Great stuff, Everything refers to the small town I grew up in. I promissed myself in highschool I couldn't wait to get out of such a small town and live in the big city, now I can't wait to go back to small town life.

Your class had a senior skip day party and had to invite the juniors and sophmores so that they could get enough people together to buy a keg.

You graduated 7th in your class of 6 people.

you knew everyone in your high school but not in your family.

You never skipped school cuz their was nothing else to do during the day.

There was always a teachers workshop on the friday before deer opener.

Your football coach was the gym, health, drivers ed, welding, and art teacher.

You attended all 12 grades in the same building.

Your team played in more than 2 David vs Goliath match ups,

and the Goliath teams were in class B

The alumni speaker for homecoming was asked to speak that to the school because he was free that day.

      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.

      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.
