Seems like the other forums have gotten really busy lately, now that the weather is warming up.

I know I haven't been on here as much this week. I have had something unusual going on every day this week. All good things, though. My middle daughter had her golden birthday on Tuesday (17 on the 17th), went to the State Capitol on Wednesday for Ag Day with a large group of farmers (our county also took 18 FFA students and two FFA advisors), throw in meetings and kid's concerts and it really fills up a week.

Next week hubby and I leave for Martinsville to catch a NASCAR truck race and cup race. grin

I have been wishin' I was fishin'. I have also been working on a HSOforum for our local chapter of Let's Go Fishing With Seniors, and yesterday helped set up the booth at the Jaycees Home and Sport show for LGFWS. I will be working the booth tonight and again on Sunday morning for 4 hours. I really need to get the garage cleaned up too and pack away all my ice fishing gear.

I actually love this time of "off season" - I've been cleaning and putting away ice fishing gear, getting the wheeler ready fro summer work and trail riding. I will be getting open water stuff out and ready this week. Need to make a few more 'lindy rigs' and some crawler 'spinner rigs'.

And I just took my course needed for 'conceal and carry'.

I have been spending the last week preparing for "The Cabin Meeting" My brothers and sisters and I had to have a money discussion about the cabin and it went really well. I am so suprized that it did. Us Goodman's can have tempers and I was worried but we came up with a very good yet inexpensive way to keep the cabin and keep money in the cabin account. I have to say though that I am glad it is over and that it will be open for the opener.

Well, the wife and I had our oldest go to Respit Care (used to give foster parents a break) and a friend took our three year old. We were midget from from 7 AM Friday until 1 PM today!!!! I was on here from time to time, but we had much other things to do. Actually we didn't do much. Went out to eat once, did some shopping and then veged around a nice quite house. Best three day vacation EVER!!!

I bought MYSELF smile two new shirts and a rod holder so the cat doesn't break my second summer rod. And my license and some Gulp. smile You can have the bill if you want, total was about $150, not a whole lot, but I have been spending way too much of my tax refunds instead of paying bills with it winkgrin.

This is transition time for me, dreaming of going fishing but too chicken to go out on the ice. Been busy with LGFWS, I am going down to Buffalo Saturday for a state wide meeting, and working on 2 websites.

I don't want to be a downer, but my mother in law passed away yesterday morning. We are waiting for all the relatives to arrive for her Saturday funeral. Fortunately, all three of her children and her husband were with her within the last few hours.

I have been coming to FM to help put me in a better frame of mind. It beats pacing around, anyway. smile

    • 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
    • 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.
