Outer - but it doesn't matter now, I already bent my new brackets to mount to my trailer.

Yeah, why not. I'll put them up on teamseacats tonight or in the morning. This one is a little odd for my a-cat since I put a 7 foot center handle on my trax and my trailer has a forward upright that supports the boat by the front beam. I'm building a trailer box for it now which means I have to change where I store the trax on the trailer...but by placing the trax on the forward uprights and supporting the handle on the mast support upright, I can use the cattrax in their stored position to double-stack A-cats if I need to in the future. It's complicated...the pictures will tell 1000 words.

The other system I've used in the past was some welded

forks

that individually clamped to the tongue of the trailer with big u-bolts. They would simply support the trax...I'll put up some pictures of that too.

Thats the same thing that hit my site. Insideous little thing that infects Wordpress sites.

I feel bad for Jake because he'll have to deal with the same BS as I will because Google will flag his site as

naughty

like mine was for a while.

Jake, call me if you want help fixing this thing.

Nope. Not really.

The biggest problem he's gonna have is if Google flags him as a dangerous website like they did to mine.

He had it once before about a month ago - not a big deal to clean, as Tad found. Bothersome little trolls in Bangladesh or somewhere. <img src=

Doug, it's really not a BIG problem for ME. It's a pretty benign bastard that gets in there somehow...I'll have it cleaned up in a second. the BIG problem for me is now Symantec and McAfee (hopefully not yet Google) have be black flagged).

Yeah, that's a pretty frustrating bugger. I removed the malicious code and updated the security for TeamSeacats.com A review had been requested for Google to remove the malicious status for teamsecats.com - pretty frustrating.

It is a nasty bug you get from jake's site. your computer starts shedding and smells distinctly like smoke. You end up having to take the computer apart and when you do you find a monkey has eaten your mother board and put cigarette stains on your hard drive.

Doug,

This isn't something Jake's COMPUTER got.

No antivirus software is going to keep his site from being infected. The only thing thats gonna keep it from happening is keeping up to date with the wordpress versions and even that wont stop them all until the bastards find a new backdoor to exploit.

I think we're talking about two different things here. There was never a virus on my computer. The virus was a hack into the TeamSeacats website, which is hosted on a hosting service's computer in Nevada, that inserted some questionable code into one of the posts...someone manually insert one line of text that is about 30 characters long. Nothing I could have installed on my home or work PC could have prevented it.

Hahah....funny story. I had a senior moment and my brackets won't possibly work...while the axle of the trax will fit neatly into the area I had built the brackets for, seems that the wheels get in the way with the front beam of the boat...I'm working on Plan B.

Yeah, but look at his picture. He smokes. That'll dull anyone's brain. He doesn't shave either.

I do see the running theme here: Keep smoking and you turn from an old monkey to a cute litt'l bunny.
