| Ok folks, just venting a little here. While I was coming home from the "Bowl De Toilet" on Sat. heading south on Rt. 59 I came to this bridge that I know will send my boat skyward if I am going faster than 50 MPH. So I slow down, and half across the bridge I hear what sounds like a shotgun blast, a second later my Explorer is bucking like a bronco and I look in the mirror to see my boat girating wildly! Diagnosis, a busted leaf spring on my trailer!!!!!!! Skid marks for at least a hundred feet were the frame fell on to the wheel and locked it up. Only three years old too! Oh well, the mechanic said he will have it road ready by Friday for me.
This is my last trip up north gang. Anyone in the Arbor Vitae area have any work on the lakes that are frozen/open? Thanks! Hopefully I can return with a couple of pics to post here!

Location: Illinoise | MRG, didn't you have trailer problems not too long ago? You better stay away from the Sewer, your trailer can't take much more! |

| LOL,
Now there is some good advice! Yeah V, I did have a little trouble earlier. Brake cylinders went out, but those I was able to fix myself.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | The only time I fished the sewer was in the PMTT a few years ago. I got a flat tire from launching my boat. Maybe there is something about it.
I know there is a few of our muskies in that water due to the bad dam in down town Pewaukee.

Location: oswego, il | Mike, hope your trailer gets fixed by the weekend. I have never had any problems except for the channels when some dip wad sees a slight ripple coming off my boat and plays mr I own the lake. Then they take their big cruiser, get it up on plane for 10sec before they run out of lake.lol |

Location: Minneapolis, MN | LOL - G-spot I think I know the bridge in question. Its the one just north of Irving Park road by my house right? That bridge eats single axle trailers for lunch! I found that if I just coast over that one without any gas or brakes it doesn't bounce much at all. |
