What Did You Do Today?
8/21/14 @ 3:53 PM
Just wondering what every one does during the day and evening?
Work? Play? Fish? Camping? Gardening? Smoking? You get the idea........
I work up early to put the venison jerky in the dehydrator and took the fiancé to work and then when I got home I made breakfast. I fixed the bath sink and took a nap. Then I sat around having a few beers waiting for the jerky to get done. Tried to read a book but that's not for me. Oh yea, I cut the lawn b4 the rain. I better save sum stuff 4 2maro.
Just wondering what you guys do during the day and evening. Let's here it.

Exactly right Carpio, your heart is in fine shape!
It's always nice when you don't have to stress on waiting for the test results to come in!
BTW Gill brought over some wine that you gave him to give to me! Thank you! There were two bottles that I particularly enjoyed :)

If they don't like what they see Carpio, you don't leave the office, so you should be good to go!
Woke up this morning about 1 am and heard a weird buzz. Almost sounded like a phone on vibrate.
Could hear it equally in every room, never louder or quieter, I was scratching my head!
Then I heard the stat click and kick in the AC, but the blower motor in the furnace didn't start, then it clicked, it was the furnace blower motor making noise.
The blower would try to start, go off on internal overload (due to locked rotor amps), and try to start again about every 30 seconds.
Been a minute since I pulled out the HVAC tool bucket. The guys at work always give me grief if they see a tool in my hand, been out of the field for years. I remind them that I was scratching out a paycheck in the field when they were in diapers lol!
At any rate, got a new blower motor, had to pull the circuit board out first, along with pretty much every wire in the furnace - as the circuit board was screwed to the back of the blower housing.
2 hours later got her up and going. Took me longer than it should have for sure, but have not pulled one of them in 20 years lol!
House temp was in the 80's, so glad it's running again.
It's kind of funny, when I was out in the field I always thought it would be nice to be in the office, now that I'm in the the office, it's kind of nice to work on a furnace again lol!
Life can be funny that way!

Got home from work, hooked up the small boat, grabbed a musky rod, one particular Plano 3700 full of select musky lures, and headed out for "an hour or two." Literally 5 casts into the evening and I stuck a solid, chunky one. As I got it to the boat, I could see it had one hook close to an eye, so I elected not to net it at all and have it thrash. Rather, I coaxed it alongside the boat and popped it off quick and sent it on its way with no pics. 20 minutes later, I hooked another one, somehow losing it part way back to the boat. Fished for another 45 minutes with no action, trying 3 other lures. Talked to 2 other fisherman at the landing for a while, gassed up the boat on the way home, now repairing the lacerations in the one lure that got shredded this evening.
Stopped at Menards in Rhinelander. It was very busy at 11am. Can't imagine what it is like on a Saturday! Ate lunch at Town Pump bar and grill and had a delicious Reuben. I think Rhinelander has the states largest Walmart. Anyway, I got my steps in. Drove through Eagle River. Everyone drives in the right hand lane. Kept thinking that I was doing something wrong. Went to St. Germain flea market. Somewhat disappointed. It seemed like half the vendors weren't there. Maybe it's too early in the year, or the price of gas!
This is now yesterday. But I drove my son up to a Scout Camp near Rice Lake yesterday. Since it was a 4 hour drive I decided to do some fishing before heading home. Fish fished one of the lakes at the Scout camp and caught some descent bluegill as well as some bass (including a few on topwater). Then went into Rice Lake and fished a spot a friend of mine recommended to me. Caught over 100 of these smallish size crappie in a little over 2 hours! Brought in several doubles on the tandem tied jigs! Few people fishing there were using worms and not catching anything so I gave them one of my crappie scrubs. Hope they did well after I left!

I don't feel like tinkering with the carburetor, so I'll take it in I think!

IQ, Yak fishing is really fun! You feel at one with the water, and you can sneak into places without making a noise.
Went fishing today. My 15 hp Yami bogged out on me today. Seems like a piece of debris in the carb. Lucky my neighbor / close bud was out fishing too.
He towed me in, and we went fishing for the rest of the day in his Jon Boat. So glad he was out on the river today.
We caught 3 eyes (12-16), 2 kitties, more Rockies and gills than we cared to count, warmouth, yellow bass, sm bass, Crappie, and 1 LM bass.
I love summer! So glad it's just beginning!
