  1. I just reverted a copy of ad blocker and it worked fine on the site. After updating it the site on my computer went back to having issues. While IPB is checking on there end to make sure they have no bugs in the closet it appears (in my untrained thought process) that it is the software of the adblocker that has changed and conflicting with the site. I have another site that is also not compatible with the new adblocker download. I will forward this to Roy to send to IPB.

  2. If you are having an issue please post what is happening as well as the OP you are using. If you have any conspiracy theories keep them to yourself. With the amount of time and effort that Roy is putting into this issue with the IPB the next time you see him you better buy him a beer. None of this will happen fast for now turn off your adblockers and use your browser that works for you in your area. For every ad you have to look at we graciously will accept the 1/20 of a penny we get to improve and buy the bandwidth that keeps this board on line. As I have said many times before

     

    We are very happy that people choose to be here it is a place of great wealth of friends as well as a way to share life with the many friends we and you have made over the past 16 years. With that said it is your choice to be here threats of not using the board will not fix this issue.

  3. With all of the time that we put into keeping this site up and running and in some cases money from our own pockets. I take offense to some of the remarks posted here and the knife in my heart is that Roy is taking time from his REALLY busy world and apologies to people for all of the extra effort and time HE puts in to get I.T. things fixed in a timely manner. Come on folks lets be a little more giving to this site as well as the people who have given their time, effort and money so you all have a place to meet and greet. I will stop here but give your head a shake if you think this site is about making money.

  4. I fish color by what the conditions dictate. I fish the bottom with a color that is 5 shades different from the bottom color due to composition and depth. I fish upper level and top water a few shades lighter or darker than the backround, be it the overcast shy or a tree line of green. This takes into account that evolution has made the back of fish to blend down and the belly to blend up. With the shade difference it gives the fish something to key in on as different than normal in their environment. To add what I really think helps trigger a bite it is the cadence of the unpredictable movement or the wounded fish tactic.

  5. I recently picked up two fenwicks because of a rod that Spiel built me on an old blank. They are 9 and 10ft long and have great action for 3-20lb catfish. I was pleased with the quality and the materials they used and would buy more if I need some more kids and guest rods. My Spiel collection I still have a problem sharing. lol

  6. You can purchase all spirits down here in any convenient or grocery store. You have to go to a government ABC store to get hard liquor. This has allowed alot of the small micro breweries/ wineries to flourish and get there products on the shelves. This has allowed for a greater selection but I am not convinced that it has caused the cost to be less. Hopefully it works up North as well as it does down here.

  7. The code here in the US is you can feed 2 fixtures with 1/2 pipe and over 3 is 3/4 pipe. The lack of pressure is an indication of a restriction this cold be at the fixture or at the heater. The pipes rarely have an issue unless something illegal was done behind the wall. Remove the hot water stem from the faucet and the seat if it has one and turn back on the hot water to check the flow. It could be as simple as the screw has backed out of the stem and gotten stuck in the seat. The heater in some brands have a check ball in the hotwater outlet side and it can cause the same issue. It is tough to diagnose from here. Ahhhh pex it is used not because it is better but is cheaper. Pex uses compression bands to put either plastic or a copper fitting on to a plastic pipe. A frozen Pex pipe will expand and while it most of the time will not rupture it will still weaken the walls. Now a frozen joint will expand the ring and can leak or blow off when ever it wants. All pipes have flaws but in my experience copper is king.

  8. The best advise is to remember it takes two to argue and since it is their house go with the flow. The time frame is not that long you should be able to weather it fine. Send a note to all of the customers and give them a firm timeline and explain what is going on the good ones will understand the others you do not need. Just remind your son that it he can't help you when you need it then you might not be able to help him in the future. Like rides to the store, the xbox game he has to have etc, Alcohol rarely makes things better use it to relax and not to escape it is a slippery slop that allow words to be spoken that can not be taken back.
