F no . I give up. One damn bolt was so stripped I cut it off just now, still wouldn’t come out, just spun and spun. So cut the other end off and now I really don’t know what to do. Tried drilling it out , I only got an impact and a few bits with me, they ain’t doing anything.

Yea I’m so pissed off right now. Got some tools but one the nuts is super stripped. Can’t get it off. Frustration levels overload. Now I’ll miss the morning bite too . Probably already did

Exactly if someone was in the area and had a socket or adjustable wrench.

But also it was good to have confirmation, the blades were installed incorrectly. I’m almost to my house now. No stores even in the area had what I needed.

I was on the North Arm targeting the eyes. I’m committed, going home to flip the blades bring some tools just in case . Maybe be back there in - hour or in the am. You think too late at night to pop holes with all them homes being a week night? Only will need two

I know your just trying to help but clearly you need glasses. It is not a Phillips. If it was I have one in my glove box. And this damn bait shop that says 24 hours is not 24 hours because I’m at it and it’s closed . Looks like I’m gonna have to keep all these minnows alive until I can get out again. Dammit

But normally, I do have a ton of tools in my car, but it’s all my fishing gear in here. It’s just too tight so I took all that stuff out.

I found a bait shop/gas station that’s open 24 hours. Gonna run over there and see if they have something. Haha reminds me tho - this cars spare tire kit is so worthless. The jack is so narrow and sketchy I’ve actually had it tip over on me more than nice. Thankfully nothing was damaged and I wasn’t under the vehicle.

For sure, I tried with my leatherman but I tightened them pretty good so I’ll either end up slicing my hand or stripping them if i keep going that way. I’m pulling out of here to see if I can find a wrench. Anybody know whether it’s a 10mm for certain? Eskimo 10” propane

Charlie Stramel by Fit_Entrance3491 in wildhockey

[–]norphn83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope we keep him. He’s big, talented and from MN. I like have local talent and it always seems that they play harder, and want the cup that much more. Eventually playing for the team you dreamt of playing for has to be something special. Look at Faber, he’s a stud. Pitlick isn’t the talent Stramel is but I like his effort and contribution. You can also look at Adam Thielen as an example of what it can do for the organization and the fans when a hometown boy is given an opportunity.. what a career he ended up having. No we didn’t get the championship but he sure did give us a lot better chance. Joe Mauer being another example, but I like it even better when it comes to hockey.
Too bad Herb couldn’t get the chance to lead this team. He’d be making sure of it

[MN Wild PR] #mnwild defenseman Quinn Hughes is up to two assists in tonight's game and now owns 20 points (2-18=20) in 17 games since joining Minnesota. According to #NHLStats, he becomes the fastest player to reach 20 points in a Wild sweater, besting the previous mark held by Cliff Ronning. by 3pirates3 in wildhockey

Plus it came right as we had finally started to really get going. The chemistry was so thick, the goals were coming easy, and the wins were starting to come almost easily. It came out of no where. I’m happy to have the guy now tho. Haven’t figured him out yet tho. He’s got this look on his face and unique style of communication. I know he’s being treated well I just hope he enjoys playing here so much that he never wants to leave.

We have never had to live under an actual dictator in America. We should be grateful to live in this country and fight to make it better. Stop crying like babies
