Hey DeeDee, I was thinking about your trip situation and here's what I came up with. You've got two vehicles, right?, and you figure to drive the bigger one up here with all your stuff. Well, how about you and Mr. DeeDee and the DeeDee-ettes drive the more economical one up with just your personal gear. When you get to Minn., you could borrow camping stuff from your Minnesota fan club. I could loan you camp kitchen stuff, a canoe,and sleeping bags. I'm sure other people could get you set with tenting and such. Just a wild idea but it might work.

Aww, you guys are so great, thank you! I'm going to have Mr. DeeDee (or Chuck) read this so maybe that will help convince him we need to go. He was already amazed by how nice everyone was on our last trip.

Icehousebob that is an awesome idea!! What we really need to do is start a "Gas Fund" to get DeeDee up here. Or maybe a "Relocating Fund" to MOVE her up here so she doesn't have to deal with gas prices as much anymore!! Although the cost to heat a house in MN can be pretty scary too!

LOL, grin your funny Lisa. I would love to relocate! I would probably have the fireplace going year round for a while. Till I get used to the weather again. My husband thinks your all crazy. He just doesnt know how to deal with nice people. Thanks for the offers to help but I dont think its nessary to have a fund raiser. I'll get up there some how. We were/are planning to use my Dad's car (chevy malibu) @ 27 mpg vs my truck (chevy Silverado loaded down with stuff and pulling a boat)that we used last year @ under 12 mpg. That should save us almost a grand. I think it cost us about 1400 in gas. sick With the Malibu I think it will be around 500+-.

I'm not sure the trunk is pretty big. When I did the relay for life, I had my tent, camping chairs, computer, printer, coffee pot in there. It would probably fit everything except the coleman stove, dishes and things like that. But then again, my daughter wont be joining us this year. Her and her boyfriend loved it up there but didnt like the drive at all and my boys are short enough that I could put things under their feet. I'm going to have to pack up the car and see what'll fit arent I? confused But if I do that its staying there. blush

Or sleep in my Arctic Armor (not a half bad idea!! laugh )!

The way this year is going that really isn't a bad idea after all.I considered taking the AA out today( at least the bibs anyway), if I could have gotten out in the boat.

I don't think you'll find the flannel pj's again until the fall either DeeDee. We're supposed to be wearing our summer pj's by now!! crazylaugh

I'll be fishing next weekend on Winnie rockman and I will probably NEED my Arctic Armor then too. Hope I'm wrong...but I doubt it! Brrrr! eek

I know you guys think I'm crazy for being envious of your cold weather but this past week it has been mid 90's and with the humidity it fells like 100+ sick. AND its not even summer time yet! cry As soon as you walk out side it just takes your breath away, and forget about doing ANYTHING with your hair. I keep mine long and in a pony tail!

      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

      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.
