Good to hear from you Garry Looks like you have taken the first steps to your dream. Keep us posted your adventure is one that many wish they could do. Art

I've been using a propane wood stove style unit since 96 and love it. Art

is this better? Art

I am glad you have room in your heart for the furry folks in the world. I have had a dog since I was born and I can't even think of life without them. Art

Very nice summer for sure. When family and friends are combined with fishing and a dog how can you not have a great time. Thanks for posting the pictures. Art

Looks like a great year Steve thanks for taking the time and sharing this with us. Art

I have always loved him for his voice and humor. I still watch him in reruns most nights. I am sorry he is gone. Art

The system of NF has worked for 14 years enjoy the site for what it is one of the friendliest fishing site that topics move quickly on. Many sites have lots of niches and slots for different forums. The more cut up they are the slower the topics move. I saw one site so cut up that it would take up to a week to get something new to read. Worse is that we have a wealth of information here that would be losted because people didn't see the threads. If you look at the NF threads most of the time it is either requests for information or telling people of the triumphs and the tragedies that have befallen them. Many times behind the scenes we have had people who have privately helped someone and in a few cases they have been life changing. This is what we are proud of here, this is what makes the time and effort we put into the board worth it all. This is why no one has been banned in 5 years, modQed yes but they can come back if they apologize and follow the rules. This is why you can be proud of being here most everyone has made a few new friends that they would never have bonded to if it was just fishing reports. The fishing trips that are posted are because they want to share the experiences with his friends and some are close enough to be called family. This is why I am proud to be here and grateful to everyone of the people I have met and will met in the future.

It is a shame really but you have to buy in bulk now if you like to shoot. A simple .17 HMR is 22 cents if you buy a box of 50 but buy 5 boxes and it goes down to .16 cents. The larger caliber have gotten to the point that it is worth reloading an round bigger than a .308. The .50 cal. is just insane at $3.50 if you bulk buy 200 rounds or better. Art

I will say it again we the owners have discussed this in length we are not going to start a forum place for people to argue and bash each other. If it does not fit in a place where anyone can read it then it is being discussed at the wrong forum. If you want to read and bicker religion, political, over the edge topics there are lots of sites that promotes these types of things because they produce lots of views and a bucket of money for the sites. We just spent a wack load of money and countless hours bringing the site current so it is safe and stable for everyone to use. I guess it still is not enough. Remember that we are a family site it is NOT being run for the money but as a place for long time friends to keep in touch and meet new like minded friends. This thread can go one as long as no one names the person or identifies them in any way or it goes down hill. Art

He he yes I to am a confessed hoarder of ammo. I like to shoot and between the calibers of the rifles and pistols I have last count was around 8000 rounds. Hope this helps you out of the doghouse. Art

At the base of this page you will see the word theme in the middle. You can click it and it will give you 2 choices for now. If the wood one is hard to read you can click default and it will go to a black and white theme. You can switch back easily. Art

Welcome back Mike good to see you again. Art

that worked.

The post count might be from the last update. We did have some corruption in the data base and they may have had to edit it back to a saved point that it was still good. With the number of members we have it is not possible to go thru and adjust them though. Art

Ha ha ha you have fallen in love with the equal of Russian SPAM. Art

I want to thank all of my fellow Veterans for there service. Many of the freedoms that we all enjoy were paid for in blood....we must not forget to thank and honor those that died or are living a life with the physical and mental scars for the rest of their lives. Art U.S. Navy.SeaBees

You need to fully understand your rights before you place your house on someone else's property think of it being like a cemetery plot. Unless it is iron clad then you are possible liable to return the lot with you paying the cost of returning it back in the same condition aka no house on it. Personally I would pass on this before I spent a few thousand having a lawyer research and verify your rights. Art

The board still remains unstable with the repairs made and we found that we will need to not only upgrade the base program but also switch to a cloud based data center. This will strip off all of our skins and remove all of the improvements we have made. If you have any information that you can not lose copy it we can not retrieve data for you.This will be difficult at best and we will try to do it as quickly as possible. The IT part is being done by Blueye and he will be doing this as a BIG favor to the board and he will need to do it on his time that is available after he does IT for his living. We are grateful that he is doing it because we do not have the funds right now to do the change. Thank you Chad. As we go forward we will try to put up reports as we can. After we have done the change I will put up an announcement and ask for things or issues that are affecting you. Thanks Art

O.K. here is the word for now. We are having an issue with the version of IP board we are running we are attempting to repair the version but it might not work. At that point we will have to move to a newer version and that will kick out all of our tweeks and faces till we can reinstall them. This will not be cheap or easy and it will take us sometime to work thru it. I will keep you posted as we go so please be patient feel free to keep posting issues here and we will keep working on the site. Art

Work ticket came back clean no issues found with the site. We might be having conflicts with providers or browsers. We are still working on it. Art

no issues here I will ask Tech. to look at it. Thanks Art

BBBBuuuurpppppp. Art

Very cool glad you pulled the trigger in time to enjoy the full snow season. Art
