Good thing for 4 wheel drive..I took peg last night to see the new Superman movie... on the way home,, truck started shaking...
Was going to have a look at it this morning when I could see... I hopped in the truck to go check my trot lines early this morning,because it's not far from home,,, I got about a mile away and then CLUNK CLUNKY CLUNK,,, my rear drive shaft hit the road.
I just pulled the rear shaft out,, tossed it into the bed. , popped it into 4 wheel drive,, and I got home,, 😆
Glad it didn't happen last night, in the dark, with my good clothes on.

Done it twice. First time I was pulling a trailer of firewood out of the woods and tore up the rear axle. Second time was in a cutover when I broke a u-joint. Both times were caused by driving where I shouldn't.

Now ya know what that squeak squeak squeak noise was when you were pulling out.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I’ve never lost a U-joint but when working for MSU I driving right behind a car on a paved road and his front U-joint let loose. If didn’t just beat the bejesus out of the undercarriage, it stuck in a chuck hole and nearly flipped the car end over end!!! Had to lift the rear end over 5’ in the air and it was a wonder someone didn’t go through the windshield but everybody was OK just seriously shook-up with chit pants!

How do you prepare gar? When we still had a large population of long nose gar in my end of Lake Erie we would cut them in steaks and smoke them

I like to roll em around in shake and bake, pop them in the oven ,, I think they are kinda like pork chops when they are done like that.
