  1. Spent the last couple of days catching up after last weekends issues.

    Had more siding on the trailer than I thought. There was about 7,500#'s worth on that load.

    Took longer than it should have but the temps warmed up a bunch and the trail was mushy so I could only take 240#'s per run.

    Reloading the trailer tomorrow with the last of my roofing and another 3,000#'s of siding.

    That will bring my total for the year after this weekend @ 17,000#'s!!!

    Hopefully get one more load in next weekend and I'll be done until ice out.

    Time to ready the boat!!!!! :D

  2. The melt has stared here this week and some pretty sexy ice was lurking beneath the ice road on my lake.

    This electric blue ice is sweet!!! We often get ice like this but not a huge section like this.

    Usually there are small patches here and there.

  3. You could buy this.

    Sell the current motor and install a nice new one for under your budget.

    Or even cheaper if you purchase an off lease engine from Bridgeview Marine.

    Currently they only have a 25" shaft but this past spring we picked up a 2016 90hp 4 stroke for my buddy off lease for $6,500.

  4. Yes, it should have been a 2 minute penalty, nothing more.

    It was just bad luck that he hit the joint in the glove where there is next to no protection.

    The joint opens up when gripping the stick making it a vulnerable spot.

    I believe they just need to call all of these hacks and the players should tone down on the hacking if they know that the slightest violation will land them in the sin bin.

  5. Lucky you were able to get back by the looks of that last photo!

    You are the most maintenance conscious person I know, based on your many posts. If that bearing issue crept up on you, it can/will do the same to the rest of us.

    Now that the snowmobile season is just about ended here in Ontario, and the boating season is set to begin, maybe this event will make us all take a look at servicing a very important part of our sport. Winter and summer.

     

    I wish it crapped out @ the cabin.

    That way I could unload my siding and then load my sled and sled trailer on the car trailer for the ride home. :D

    It bugs me I couldn't get my delivery done.

    Hopefully the ice and shorelines hold until mid April.

    Temps are going to be above normal for the next couple of weeks though. :(

    I have 3 more loads to get out there.


  6. Had a slight issue with the snowmobile trailer this morning so no materials were moved today. :(

    Got a few K's outside of town and had a bearing failure. Nursed the ole trailer back to the house without the wheel falling off though. :good: :good:

    Was gonna fix up the hub with a little JB weld, but decided to replace it. :whistling:

    She's all back together and ready for next weekend now. :clapping:

  7. Chest waders and a good drytop will keep you dry, especially if you have a PFD over the drytop. Just as important, your SOT needs to be rigged so that it does not impede re-entry. Ice-out is no time to find out how easy/hard it is to re-enter your yak. You should practice in conditions that are no threat to your safety.

     

    Misfish, you should have read the entire post: spoons and raps are on sale at WalMart. The drysuit was ordered directly from Level 6 ;)

     

    Get yourself a rescue stirrup to aid in reentry. ;)
