Swamp Scooter... It took long enough to come up with a good registered name for my new Chessie. I couldn't think of anything better. 85# and she still scoots like a puppy at 4.

I wanted to be the Master-Baiter (from a bait shop in New Hampshire...REALLY!!!) but thought that might get me in a different catagory. The MB was what my wife thought I would use ...and no not for that reason. Nice try on your gutter minds. Andy Weyer 34, MN born on the iron range, living in Roseville, and just wanted to tell all that I have benefitted from all your comments and insights and hope to add some of my own in the future.

Time to fish...

Southerner just seemed appropriate. I moved to MN from Savannah, GA (deep south) about six years ago. Some Minnesotans claim we southern folk have accents. Well, let me tell you, it works both ways! :-) I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've had folks up here ask where I'm from. Most of the time they guess "Texas". I always tell them "Duluth". What's really funny is that some actually believe me.

Oh, by the way, and not to get too much off topic, can anyone provide guidance as to where this "Duck Duck Grey Duck" game differentiation originated? What's up with messing with a good thing?! Apparently central MN is the one area of the nation that chooses to play with "Grey Duck" rather than "Goose". I've taken informal polls of friends and coworkers from around the country and it's apparent that MN is bucking the trend with their version of this childrens' game.

A few years back I found it necessary one day to moon my golfing buddies. They did not appreciate the close-up revealing of my buns of steel, and let me know about it using lots of vivid descriptions. Their concensus was that the view was not good,thus, Bad Moon.

Mine is fairly boring as well. "Stoneeyes" is just my amalgam of eyestone, my last name. 317 is for 3/17, which is my birthdate, just like someone elses here grin.gif; I, however, do have a little Irish blood in me. Probably where I get what red hair I have that isn't beginning to grey frown.gif ...

blacksportsman. Because I'm of African-American Descent, mostly (actually I'm mixed w/ Swedish, among other things, a mutt if you will) and because I like to participate in everything outdoors: hunting, fishing, camping, etc. Cool topic!!

It started out as Hoss, not from bonanza or anything, but because my brother called me that. One buddy said let's go party over at Hoss's, and from there my place was known as the Hossienda. I am not even sure if half the people I know in my town know my real name?!?!

Minnetonka is my favorite body of water. Tonka toys were may favorite growing up as a kid (I still have all of them to this day). With a little spin I had Tonka Boy!

I guess I couldn't fit "Tonka-raggidy, beer guzzling fishaholic guy with an extremely tolerant wife" as a user name... grin.gif

Three years ago, my brother kept hearing these "Red Lake" stories where the crappies had shoulders and would feed like pirahnas. Well, we had to investigate this rumor ourselves. Needless to say, we killed'em.

Feeling cocky, I came up with Crappie Killer.

I've been to URL 4 times, and haven't caught a single crappie since that first time out. I thinking I should change my name to Gladys or Sally or something.

I laugh everytime I type in my username, because I hardly ever fish for crappies.

I think I found out about this site about a year and a half ago. Man does time fly!

Taken in any context other than fishing, my "handle" may have a different meaning grin.gif

I'm a 90% live/natural-bait fisherman, so thus Night-crawlers are towards the top of that list. Thus I am the "Crawlerman" heh wink.gif

Ice-9 is a new kind of ice discovered by a mad scientist in Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle." I'm an English teacher, so it's got to be literary. In the novel Ice-9 is a new way for atoms to arrange themselves, and if one little bit of it escapes into regular water will spread and freeze all water everywhere. It's a comedy.

      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.
