Nothing like the State Hockey tournaments up here, man. Minnesota definitely does this one right.

Used to be better, before they broke it up into differ sections...

It used to be a big deal if you get tickets they were very hard to come bye....

I don't mind the two classes. Good hockey is good hockey.

When I played it was the first of second year of the two classes, it didn't bug us.

Yep they do. I havn't been to the X yet until last night so that was pretty cool.

I'm bringing Jeremy's aunt and uncle to the airport today. They are flying into Vegas. They are staying there tonight and then renting a car and driving to Lake Havasu City to stay with Jeremy's mom and step dad. I wish I was going.

Why aren't you? Vegas is one of my favorite spots to visit. I'm not a gambler, heck I don't even like people but for some reason, I love Vegas.

We're going there in Sept to celebrate our 10th anniversery. Our anniversery is really on June 16th, but that is also Jack's birthday so we let the little guy celebrate.

Jack's b-day, mine, Nate & Dave's are all a few days apart.

Well.... I just found out tickets are still very hard to come by. It's a two year wait to just buy tickets to the games! The only way you can get tickets is by waiting in line and buying the ones the schools don't sell, which won't be much, if any.

I'm mixing drinks in my new blender, anybody want one?



oops, that's not a blender... that's my damn plow truck's front diff.

ouch! I think I see the problem though

Well white bear might have a gear carrier for me, we'll see.

Super glue dave....

Hard to glue all that metal dust back together.

Scrape it all up and mix the glue in than form your own gears.

You have the option of changing the ratio.

Naw, ring & pinion survived. It's a front axle on a 4x4.

I'll have it patched back together shortly.

Oh I see,,,it was just the carrier that got grenaded.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Must be something else.

Did white bear have your parts?

Not sure if the spider pin broke or slid part ways out or what happened but the pin is in about 3 pieces, spiders are scrambled and the drive gears are toast, carrier is junk too.

I had a dana 44 carrier I thought i could steal the pin & spiders out of, but the case is no good.

And the spare case I have is for a thick ring gear, the gear ratios have a split somewhere around 4:10-ish where the carriers change and the high ratios use a thinner ring gear.

White bear is fishing this weekend but I've already clued him in, he'll look when he gets home from the lake or on Monday or when ever he gets time. No big hurry.

Still amazed you survived the chainsaw day...

Mother nature knows the plow truck is broken, it's snowing.
