    HMS Bounty

    Outside Magazine has done a lengthy article on her, for what it's worth. I will wait for the conclusions of the Coast Guard hearings. http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/Sunk-The-Incredible-Truth-About-a-Ship-That-Never-Should-Have-Sailed.html?page=all

Work and obligations kept getting in the way, but since we didn't take any real vacation this year we finally planned the trip as a way to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We didn't have...

    Help with computer monitor decision?

    My old monitor (4:3) died, and I found myself looking at replacement monitors that are all widescreen versions. The only two stores in this area stock NO 4:3 monitors, so I picked out the least expensive one and brought it home. It's a Dell 19". When I hooked it up it didn't look great, of...

Until this morning. My heart is heavy, as is my wife's and our 9-year-old Lab's. But I know we'll meet again. I...

    Trailer bunk carpet

    Like the title says, I need to replace the bunk carpet on the ol' PD trailer. Never done it before. So I went out and bought some carpet, and I've got my trusty staple gun. Anything I need to know, words from the wise, before I begin?
