Long time no post for me, life happens, fish start biting, and equipment needs repaired.
A few things really put a damper on my tumbling awhile back.
Got elected to the board of Directors for a Nebraska Outdoors site (fishing, hunting etc...)
Started really helping out a non-profit group about resposible fishing (recycledfish.org). Who knew the winter would be a busy time for a fishing organization, but it's the best time to do the busy work!
And finally, and possibly the worst, the threaded rod on my UV-10 go so stripped that I can no longer screw the bowl or the lid down.
It was one of those things where i thought to myself "I'll look at fixing it next week or so". :nono: And now it's almost 6 months later. What can I do to fix this? Tap and Die set? I thought about replacing it, but lack the tools to get into some of the spots it looks like it would take to get to it.
Any tips?
on a side note, I may not have posted, but went to lurker status, and drooled and drooled over the great pictures every now and then.
Thanks,
Alex
