@Jigfishn10 , first few hours was sopping up water. Then the next few was cutting open ceiling finding the leak. It was between a joist and some dead wood that only an iPhone would fit in from the laundry room. Went on the other side of the wall into the bathroom and had slightly more room to work but not much. Again between a joist and dead wood. I was able to find the leak there and actually touch it with my hands instead of taking pics with my phone and reviewing them 😂 Couldn’t spin my pipe cutter all the way around in the tiny space and had to work blind by feel the whole time because my head wouldn’t fit in there. Had to take the blade off a hacksaw and Work it back and forth with my fingers to cut the pipe. All while standing on a vanity. And not standing straight up because that would mash my head against the ceiling so crouching the whole time. Kneeling on the vanity was barely too short. I could have been the star of a film called “crouching plumber leaking copper” Luckily the ceilings are already two tone in several places 😂, I’m guessing from previous leaks. Somehow all those solder joints that have turned blue held even with me basically doing chin ups on them to get a clean enough cut in that tiny space. The leak was a pinhole but it was a rager, enough to spread water all over the floor of 3 rooms and an open area. @Brycecover , if you were asking me where I’m located, in east TN

After piddling around with a plumbing leak from 4 am to 4 pm that involved destroying my ceilings, I got out on the water from 5:30-8. Daylight savings is nice. Got the triple crown of black bass, probably had 6 or so fish, all on purple worm.

85 degrees here yesterday…….

I haven’t tried a whole lot up there but I like Lake Michigan. Superior looked amazing as well but I would imagine becomes terrifying with wind. I did catch a pike ultra shallow in superior that was a welcome surprise

Held up the wacky rig and cut it off with scissors 😂 😂 😂

@VolFan , always better to have neighbors on your team than money

I break every rod I’ve ever had and it was very hard to break the mojobass trigon line. I shockingly still have one that I can’t break

I saw some guy make a great point. He said in Austin TX 3 Americans were shot and killed and several injured, no Americans were killed in PV but it’s all about perception when it comes to tourism

Sounds like a river float is in order for you @Kayak Koz

I mow two of my neighbors yards for free and they take care of the pups while we are on trips . Maybe they can barter something (off the books)

Slayed em!

I’m still posting so….. me 😂

I had a buddy that used to live in collegdale. The ocoee and hiwassee rivers are fun too. Chickamauga is a bit busy

Maintenance is pretty easy on my trailers, one is from 1957. You can figure it all out by taking it apart, the hardest part is the lights! They are eternally damned. Hubs and bearings are a breeze (except for maybe once or twice) compared to lighting. Also now that I do maintenance for a living, LED lights are public enemy number one in every application 😂. This latest winter storm I think may have eaten thru the pigtail on my truck. Both blinkers and brake lights work but running lights don’t. Sometimes the driver side goes out but you can jiggle the pigtail and it comes on. Stupid salt rusted everything

Pretty flippin’ cool! See what I did there…….. I went 12 rounds with a raccoon on top of a paint booth inside a boat factory once, wild ride

I’m very abusive to my fishing tackle, it gets used at least 3 times a week barring a blizzard. That’s usually in two different vehicles, and 3-4 different vessels (none of which have dry storage). On the ground, in the sand mud and grass, in a canoe/kayak full of river water and substrate. Bank fishing, falling down on them, using them as trekking poles. And not a single rod and reel of mine is ever stored indoors. I break stuff They make new ones everyday

That Guinness N/A is good stuff

Hillbillies can’t write

Happy anniversary!

Caught one just this morning 😂. What’s the limit on maples?
