So far it is just IE that is having the issue. We are trying to find out if it is all IE or just certain versions. Art

Anyone who is having issues with quoting please post here and tell us what browser you are using. If you know we also need what version you are using. Also please tell us if you have tried a different browser and if it still was broken. Thanks Art

Funny they say the same crap here about heat. It gets to be 102F and they ask is it a dry heat? The theory of dry heat is you can sweat faster with less resistance so you it feels cooler. Art

I have to get a new hot water tank, looking for advice NF
aplumma replied to Big Cliff's topic in General Discussion
The rental thing has not caught on here in the US and for good reason. Total waste of money it is a rip off for the customers. Cliff A propane heater treated well will last over 10 years if there is no defects. You can purchase a 10 year warrentee heater if you want but after that few if any companies will extend past that. Here is the key if you buy the heater for $2000.00 installed you have paid $200.00 a year to use it. After 10 years if it does not leak throw it out and start over again. I like the power vent series they are rock solid and have just as good a chance to be trouble free as the older standing pilot heaters. I personally find that the tankless heater to be more of a trouble than a blessing. They need a certain amount of flow for them to trigger on meaning some water conservation showerheads or aerators can keep it from turning on. They are not easy to work on and the lack of parts availability usually means two service calls to fix it. They will leak just as easily as a tank heater and will have less life due to the high temperature that they fire on at. Example is a heater fires 48,000 BTUs while a tankless runs at 150.000 to 240.000 BTUs. The piping size to the heater is most likely to small for the tankless so that has to be added into the cost. Finally a tankless heater uses more gas..... The reason some people get out of the shower is because the water gets cold with a tankless you can stay in for as long as you have fuel. The selling point of storage of hot water is wasted heat is not really true the heat you lose from the tank is inside the house so it heats the water as well as the house. If you have any questions I haven't answered feel free to P.M. me your phone # and I will be happy to talk to you. Art -

No you are correct the city hubs are priced higher by corporate. It is also priced higher in places where there is less competition. We have 3 shell stations local and the cheapest one always is the one that has a sheetz across the street. Now sheetz waits for them to post there price and then drops it a penny or two. As far as being less gas dependant that sounds like a great idea and we all can help to some extent. I have a huge carbon footprint due to the van and the pickup truck I drive. While both have the most economical motors I could find that will tow the boats and haul my plumbing supplies it still is a hunk out of my wallet. I can't even comment on my boats sheesh they get about 1.5 miles to the gallon due to there size and the waters I fish. O well the price we pay to have fun fishing with friends and family..... Art

The old method of how gas was sold was price of the fuel paid plus X was the price till the tank was resupplied. Now it is sold just like the stock market. A purchase of fuel by the dealer could net large profits in troubled times. The price is broadcast to the individual dealers from corporate. This is why two of the same dealers separated by just a few miles can have prices that vary up to a couple cents per litre. Not much you can do except buy stock in the companies and use the profits to offset the prices. Art

That is really cool how you carried that bass around from spot to spot over the summer and took the pictures.lol Very nice summer it looks like you got the bass dialed in. If you get to the Washington D.C. area give me a holler we have some of the finest Bassing in the country on the Potomac River. Art

I had a yamaha 80 4 wheelers it didn't tow anything however it would run like a scalded dog. The best part of it was if it got bogged down you just picked it up and moved it. I found that it was an issue if the snow was deeper than the clearance of the chassis. Stay away from the knockoff units they are junk with an attractive price you will break them quickly and find that parts are not easy to find if at all. Art

Well done thanks for showing it to us. Art

My please let me be the second person to welcome you. Art

Sorry to hear Cliff. Your new heater make sure that the Pressure relief valve is piped to a floor drain. We can also install a water alarm that is available thru amazon if you have any problems finding one give me a holler and I will send you one. Art

We'll I did it. Bought my first bait casting set up
aplumma replied to Rich Clemens's topic in General Discussion
Way to go Rich I am sure you will be the master in a short time. If you have any old big diameter mono laying around go ahead and spool it up for practice casting. It is easier to control and if it lashes you can pick them out easier than braid. If you need any tips on setting up the backlash or friction nut give me a yell I can walk you thru it easily. Art -
When you sell it for $2.00 a foot to the customers it is drilled. lol Art

We use a product call strap iron in the plumbing world. It is flat metal with holes drilled in it. You can bend it as needed and if it where taped to the line you could tweek it as needed to shoot straight down. It would go where you have the rope for now. Art

No don't get me wrong I am sure there is a time and place for shifting into neutral in a driveway is a perfect example. I wanted to point out that it would be a bad way to stop while you are driving with other vehicles on the road like coasting to a stop light . Snow and ice have little effect on me while I drive down here in the South because it is usually less than a foot and goes away in a week. I also drive a full size loaded Ford F150 or a loaded Sprinter (think heavy) vehicles. They both have all of the tricky auto brake and anti skid features so as long as I don't encounter any idiots on the road I am good. Art

I got a mercedes at the age of 45. An eye exam should clear up any questions on your eye sight. You only got one pair get them looked after yearly to spot any issues that can be cured before you regret it. Art

I understand the physics of it and you all have a much better idea on ice driving than I do for sure. My thoughts are to lose your ability to drive out of a slide is counter productive to being able to avoid an accident. While we do not get the same amount of snow and ice down here we actually have poor road clearing capacity the snow and ice comes and goes usually in a week so our amount of snow equiptment is small . The action of a skid or sliding removes your ability to control the direction you are pointing. With a sliding motion if you have traction then you may counter steer to drive around an issue rather than sliding into the issue. I am sure there is a time and place for both methods so far I have not found the slight benefit of neutral to be more to my advantage than being able to drive out of a situation. Our racing mantra was gas gas GAS when in trouble. lol Art
-
Thank you for the fix as usual MR. Roy. Art

My concern to popping it into neutral is you lose the capacity to get going again in an emergency. Case in point I was at a stoplight on a motorcycle with a friend who usually puts it into neutral so he don't have to hold the clutch. I reved the bike to see if he wanted to race so he kicked it back into gear. Just out of the corner of my eye I saw the car coming up was not going to stop we both gassed it to the side of the car in front of us and when the car did stop he was just short of the car that was in front of us.
