I got invited to go hunting with a friend from work last
weekend. I?m not a huge hunter but the weather was especially nice for November
so I thought it would be great way to spend a Saturday morning. The great thing
about living here is that it only take a 30 minute drive in any direction and
you can be out away from everybody.
Although it was difficult to wake up at 6
am on Saturday morning it was totally worth it. We did not shoot a single duck
which was kind of disappointing. Dave brought his dog and showed off his new gps dog collar. The thing was pretty dang cool. I had no idea that these high
tech gps collars even existed. Dave said that it had already saved him a number
of hours tracking down his sometimes rambunctious dog.
One of the best times I’ve ever had was when I went fly fishing Key West. To me it’s simply the cadillac of fishing. Just me against the fish. No belts. No harnesses. No fighting chairs. Just getting chauffered around the flats and spending a day looking for those elusive shadows and tails breaking the top of the water as they retreat hunting their prey.
Why was it the best day? Well, it’s the only day and only time I have ever been successful hitting the “grand slam” of fishing. Yep, a hefty little permit, a sleek looking bonefish and a little tarpon. The permit was definitely the best of the bunch for me as it was really the heaftiest of the bunch, went about 20 pounds. The bonefish was a bagger in any book. Could’ve been better on the tarpon end as this one was a juvenille and really barely made 10 pounds ( if you stretched it). That’s ok though, a slams a slam.
I?ve decided to do my first half marathon. I?m defiantly a
little freaked out about it because I have never done this sort of thing
before. I?ve run in plenty of 5k events and even a couple 10k events but a half
marathon is almost double the longest run I?ve done. I?m not exactly a stranger
to running. I ran in high school but was never much good.
I think I ran in high
school more for the social aspect then to be competitive. It?s been a long time
since I?ve trained so I decided on getting a Polar f6 heart rate monitor watch
to help me. I?m going to try it out tonight at the gym. The race is only a
month away.
I recently discovered a small and generally unknown electronics company that goes by the name of Tivax. Tivax is a small electronics company based over in China. Currently they have a very limited line of products that includes just two different models of TV converter boxes.
The Tivax stb t9 and Tivax stb t8. If it weren’t for the digital transition and converter boxes Tivax would still probably be completely unknown but they moved into the limelight when Consumer Reports gave their stb-t9 model a top rating. I decided to try this converter box and it has been so amazing. If Tivax can make such a good converter box is make me believe that they are primed and ready to make a huge break through in the market and become a major electronics manufacturer.
