Hey, Can some one help me? I can't seem to get this heavy jar of peanuts open so I can feed my young. I guess the guy who owns this house wasn't thinking about my needs when he hung this heavy feeder next to his window and made the holes to hard to reach with my little paws. Darn Humans.

Canon XTI 100-400 IS USM. Handheld, no crop, out dining window. 120 mm, f5.7, -1 exposure, 1/180 sec, iso 400.

Well Honey, since you asked I can give you a few tips -

First of all find a feeder where the humans are dumb enough to put the feeder near a railing and on a short hook - then you have two options for accessing the peanuts/seeds - jump from above or from the side -

Now, once you get comfy - be sure to fill up your cheeks as much as you can so that you make fewer trips - oh, thats right, you don't have my cheeks - oh well, maybe you just need to find the stupid humans (I already found mine!)

Hey Paul - they certainly are no where near the quality of yours, but the theme seemed to fit - I feel like we're feeding more squirrels, chipmunks and raccoons than birds - but when the tweeties can get it they are sure exciting to watch too.

      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.
