Wait, is that a . . . .

Launching your kayak from the beach to go fishing (often referred to as BTB or beyond the breakers) is not a simple task. Everyone thinks about the waves trying to flip you over, all that equipment sticking out weighing you down and threatening to become a beachside yard sale but one huge but often overlooked […]

Happy Music

Recently our family tried a little happy exercise together. Fear not, there was no profuse sweating or smelly closes involved. We each pondered the question “what are the songs that make us happy”. For time and sanitity’s sake we limited the choices, top 3-5 songs. It was also suggested that we accompany the choice with […]

Printer Time

The good news is . . . I am getting a 3D printer. The bad news, well, I guess we will have to wait to find out but there is a distinct possibility that there isn’t any bad new. I can tell that some of you are incredulous but for 2 different reasons;

The wind tends to come from the same […]

Travelogue – Detours

We stay in the house of some good friends. It’s a block from the beach and there is a park 2 blocks away. A block in the other direction takes you to the bay where I go kayak fishing. The house has plenty of room, is nicely decorated and even has a garage where I […]

Travelogue – It’s all downhill from here

Just before we reach our destination for the night in the town of Midway west of Tallahassee we cross into the Eastern Standard Timezone and our 12.5 hours car trip quickly turns into 13.5 hours. We won’t mind going to bed early but we won’t be our usual chipper selves when 6AM rolls around. But […]
