The Fishers of Trout

You know what else we learned about having a boat? Sometimes it better to go out on someone else’s! This past weekend Katie, Greg and I went with Captain Rocky in search of the coveted saltwater Speckled Trout or Sea Trout.

1 year of boat ownership – what have we learned?

A year ago Linda and I decided to invest spend a chunk of our disposable income on a boat. We had been making regular trips to Galveston to fish off the rocks, jetties and piers. The fishing was good and bad randomly, the time spent at the waters edge was always good (at least for […]

TempHold is dead, long live TempHold

OK, this is too obscure for everyone except for 3 people. Let me explain. We have been vanguards in the digital lifestyle. Many years ago I shared a hard drive inside my desktop to gather files that we all wanted to access. About 4 years after tha I installed a media server (a HP Media […]
