If we get the camo one I will have lots of trouble....can't hear my clicker, can't see my hat.

They're all fine, I don't care one way or the other.

Domain name is secured. Darren, let's get together this weekend and get a mockup of something, maybe unveil the site next week sometime at least in beta format.

I'm gonna guess that the hat has no relevance as to what you can see or hear..... and I'm in the same boat....

Just make sure to keep the keys in the pocket and pull all the anchors and the rest will take care of its self.... smile

Oh wait was that a league nite???!!!... Hic! UP!

This is gonna be a good season!

Wonderfull... I can just see it now on the news at 10.. Multiple Samsquatch sitings reported in the MN river valley tonight. Please lock your children indoors when it gets dark out. grin

I like the towel idea. I love to have a towel with, but forget it most times. This would be a great reason to bring on with.

Good idea Dtro smile

LOL!

I did already suggest the KOTC Thong back on Pg 4 of this thread. wink

Ya, I put your quote up on the top of the post grin along with papa's.

The hat was and is a cool idea. For me it would take a couple image shots with fish to make sure the logo of the hat was clearly displayed in the image. You had to pretty much where your hat like a farmer and have your chin down, depending on way the image was taken.

I liked the towel idea also because one could clench it in their mouth like the paper control item. Just make sure and keep one corner clean grin. Also the low cost factor (I assume it would be cheaper, but do not know) sounds good.

I say it is what ever Dtro would like to do. I thought I remember a thread from last year where the hat deal cost’ed Darren some major "out of his pocket" ching last year. I vote for Darren not having this issue again this year wink , no matter what the control item. The micro fiber hand towel sound like less of a hassle to ship then a hat wink and I seen Dtro brought it up, hint hint hint smile

Not being much of a hat guy, I'd personally like to see is something a little different. Glove, towel, can coozie (promotes beverage drinking), TShirt (thou you guys that fish everyday.. yuck). I think a hat every 3-4 years would be fine, but personally I'd rather not need to get one every year. Just my opinion. I'll go with whatever the group and leaders decide.

I think a poll/vote might be in store thou for fairness.

You have a good point Tyler, being a hat guy myself I forget about the others.

To keep things simple for myself I'll probably just stick with the hats unless there is a huge dissent. I think they worked good last year.

While it's fun to put the logo on this or that, we need to think about how that will get itself into to the picture in an efficient way.

Here's what I recommend for anyone who doesn't want a hat, or doesn't like the hat we go with. You can call up to FastTrack Products in Brooklyn Park and get the logo put on anything you like. There is no limit to what is acceptable. As long as the logo is in the picture, it's fine. Heck i think they might even stitch it into a piece of clothing you already own.

A simple computer printout on paper works fine too.

Oh I guess they wren't exactly the same:

I agree, the number of jagbombs might have more of an impact than the color of the hat.

Still can't believe those keys didn't go in the drink. All I gotta say is at least I remembered the rear anchor....that day anyway. smile

Nuh hu.... I'm pretty sure if we consult Captain Shamu I thought that was the night that the anchor took a chunk out of the prop and then got kicked into the boat it torqued the light post....

Either way it was a fun night...

Alright guys I have some preliminary numbers. The camo hat is a few dollars more than the hat last year, so it kind of ate any savings from not having to digitize the logo this year.

To defray those costs and in exchange for adding "hotspotoutdoors.com" to the bottom of the KOTC logo, Rick has agreed to pay the full cost for the first dozen hats. What that means to all of us is that it will significantly reduce our cost. If we do 2 dozen hats it will be half price. To make it fair for everyone, I will be posting a start time and stop time to take orders. At that point, I will determine the final cost based on the kick in from Rick/HSO. Any hats ordered after the deadline will be at the full cost and not guaranteed as they need to be ordered in dozens.

I'd like to thank Rick for working with me to get a clean looking hat yet still being able to use the KOTC logo.

Remember, everyone will still have the option of printing the standard KOTC logo in lieu of the hat.

As a rough estimate, with 24 hats, the cost per hat would be about $12 (not including any optional costs of personalization or shipping).

Here's a rough draft at we are looking at:

No, the anchor that got left in the water only to come flying out later was the front one, captain's duty. I was in charge of rear anchor that night.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
