The story behind your, "Handle"

I've been hunting and fishing as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Rochester area, goose hunting has always been big with me. One day I was out hunting with a buddy and he was cursing a flock of geese that refused to decoy. "Blankity, blank Corn Pirates!!!" he yelled. After that day I started using CornPirateKiller (or C.P.K.) as my online signature for everything.

The first time on the Fishing MN forums, I though this is neat, that I'd post something, it was looking for a username/password. Had a password at work of jackjack (needed 8 characters), so I put in Blackjack, didn't realize that it was a userID that stuck with you for everyone to see, oh well now I'm stuck with it.

My Grandpa and Grandma owned a little piece of heaven just outside of Blackduck, MN. Grandpa was a very creative guy and he modified his old taxidermy sign and painted "Alex and Jane's Bushwacker" on it. Grandpa passed away a couple years ago and Grandma basically gave the place to "The Bushwacker Crew". That is where Bushwacker came from.

I was on a fishing trip with some friends some time ago, The only problem was I was having way to much fun partying(i'll quit there). One of my friends said I only came around every couple of days for food and water just like an old stray dog, The name kinda stuck.

I keep thinking I should change mine since it has no great meaning. When our office fist installed a LAN system 10-12 years ago, we had to come up with a user name that had 10 characters in it. Since I had just bought a home on Lake Minnetonka, I used that as my user name at work and it has stuck as my user name here.

Nickname from high school that some football buddies gave me that just stuck with me all these years. I guess I act like Chris Farley sometimes. But I've never tried out for Chippendale's with Patrick Swazee. Classic!!!

Mine was my code name when I was a hit man for the CIA. I kept it as a nickname when I was a body double for Gov. Arnold in the movies. I sometimes had to slap Jessie Ventura around when he got uppity, made him blubber like a little girl.
Actually, I wanted Uncle Bob, but it was taken. I came up with this one while I was sitting in one of my three fish houses, drinking an Ice House beer. I don't know where it came from.

    • 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.
