Not a Grounded Boater!
I recently blogged about being out on the gulf with my wife on our 23’ sport boat and having a problem with the battery. Following that event, I contacted my marine mechanic and asked him to do two things: First, see if he could find a source for the battery losing charge so quickly, and […]

Ungrounded Millennials
Ungrounded Millennials I am out in Colorado, a combination of work and pleasure (hey, Colorado is a very beautiful state; it has amazing fly-fishing and is usually 20 degrees cooler than South Georgia in the summer). I had occasion to go to Home Depot with my good friend, Chris Petersen. She was looking for deck […]
