Computer Hell!

Well, hopefully my computer problems are solved now. I had to resort to some geek help to solve the issues I had with this new computer. I'm not going to go into the specifics because no one understands what I'm talking about anyway, but after a long day of staying home yesterday and reinstalling my operating system it all seems to be working like its supposed to. It turned out to be a comedy of errors on my part and a faulty connector on the motherboard. It's funny how you can have a problem and in trying to resolve that problem you create more problems. I have always known that to be true and usually I'm very careful but I was at my wits end and I was trying everything. That just got me in deeper.

I have used forums before but it's been a long time and try as I might, I finally had to resort to using a forum for help. There were a couple of guys who finally pointed me in the right direction and after staying indoors all day yesterday when it was sunny outside, I finally got everything going again. Good old technical forums. You Gotta love it!

Fishing in the rain!

Yesterday Chris and I went up to Antelope Lake and did a little fishing from shore. As you can see, I was successful but unfortunately, Chris wasn't. This fish probably went around 2 lbs and it was the largest of the three I caught, but I didn't bring a scale so I'm just guessing at the weight. I got one crappie on a jig next to some rocks and the other two were bass. It rained on us on and off all the time we were there, but it wasn't really all that cold. It was nice to get out and I have to do that more often. I had forgotten that when the weather is bad, you don't have alot of competition. There was only one boat that we saw on the lake and very few bank fishermen. This fish, most likely a male, had a tail that told me he was fanning a nest. You can see it in the picture. I'm thinking crappie fillets for dinner!
